Set the bass management settings
of
your receiver or decoder (see-your receiv-
er
or
decoder manual) for "Small" left front (main), right front (main), center
front, left rear (surround) and right rear (surround) to "Small," and Subwoofer to
"Yes."
If
your receiver/decoder allows you to choose the crossover frequency
of
or between your subwoofer and satellites, choose the highest possible (up to 100
Hz for the ProMonitor 1000 and 120 Hz for the ProMonitor 800)
Tum
the low
pass filter control on the ProSub all the way up in a clockwise direction.
Adjust
the
relative levels
of
all five
channels
and
the
subwoofer
according
to
the
channel
balancing
procedure
outlined
in
your
receiver
or
decoder
manual.
THIS
IS
VERY
CRITICAL.
Optional
Hook-Up
Ohe
Hook up the left and right front ProMonitors and ProSub as described in Steps
1
thru 9 earlier. Wire your center channel to the center channel out on your
receiver (or center channel amplifier) and your left and right rear surround speak-
ers to the rear channel outputs on your receiver or rear channel amplifier, taking
care that all speakers are in phase, i.e. red
(+) to red (+) and black (-) to black (-).
Set the bass management system
of
your receiver or decoder for "Large" Left and
Right Main Speakers, "Small" Center and Rear Surround Speakers and "No"
Subwoofer. All the bass information including the
.1
channel LFE signal will be
directed to the main left and right channels and into the subwoofer giving you all
the benefits
of
Dolby Digital AC-3 5.1.
Optional
Hook-Up Two .
An option on this hook-up (if your decoder will allow you to select "Large"
Left and Right Main Speakers and "Yes" Subwoofer),
in
addition to the hook-up
as described above, is to use an RCA-to-RCA low level cable to connect the LFE
sub-out on your receiver to the low-level LFE/sub-in (the lower RCA input) on a
ProSub. Tell your bass management system that you have "Large" Left and Right
Main Speakers, "Small" Center and Surrounds, and "Yes" Subwoofer. You will
then be able to raise the LFE
.1
channel level being fed to the subwoofer by either
using the LFEIsub remote level adjustment on your decoder (if it has one)
or
the
LFE
.1
channel level control on your Dolby Digital channel balancing procedure.
This set-up has the advantage
of
allowing you
to
set the low frequency level on
the a ProSub for smooth balance with music while also allowing you to "juice
up the bass" for movies with the controls on your decoder. It should also sound
somewhat better.
Variation
on
the
Optional
Hook-up
One variation on the optional hook-up
is
to hook up and adjust the system as
described under "Optional Hook-Up" except select "Small" Left and Right Main
Speakers and "Yes" Subwoofer on the bass management system (along with
"Small" Center and "Small" Rear Surrounds). The advantage
of
this over the
Optional Hook-Up will be somewhat greater dynamic range (i.e., you can play
the system louder). However, depending on the specific characteristics
of
the
crossovers designed into your bass management system, the transition and
blending between the satellites and subwoofer may not be quite as smooth
Cllld
continuous
as
the Optional Hook-Up,
or
with the basic hook-up detailed above
in Steps 1-9. However,
if
you wish to play the system louder, you can experiment
with this variation.
In
addition, this
variation
is also
one
which
can
be
used
if
your
decoder
bass
management
system does
not
allow a
"Large"
Left
and
Right
Main
Speakers
and
"Yes"
Subwoofer
setting.
We encourage you to experiment with the various settings on your subwoofer,
settings on your decoder, and hook-up options
as
described until you find the best
combination for you.
