Connecting loudspeakers
In home cinema systems the bass
management - meaning the distribution
of the low frequencies to the subwoofer
and the speakers - is handled by the
settings of the processor/receiver. If
your equipment does not provide bass
management, or if you want to use the
Sub3 together with a common stereo,
the low frequency adjustment of the
connected speakers can be managed
by the Sub3. This not only improves
the sound by matching subwoofer and
speakers, but also by freeing the power
amplier and connected speakers from
the effects of sound-compromising bass
reproduction. Also refer to the further
explanations in the chapter “Connecting
the subwoofer” on page 10.
To connect speakers:
1. Connect the subwoofer with the
processor/receiver as explained in
“Connecting a single subwoofer” on
page 18.
2. From the Subwoofer SAT Output
connect a RCA cable to the Main
In of the power amplier you use for
your speakers.

Note
Stereos do not have a LFE channel. In this case just connect the front outputs of
the processor/receiver (Front Out/Pre Out) with the subwoofer.
The signals connected to the SAT/SUB Input are provided at the OUT - To
Slave output for connecting another subwoofer. See page 19 to learn more about
connecting multiple subwoofers.
