Connecting a single subwoofer
4. Getting started
Dynaudio Acoustics BM14S 7
Connecting a single subwoofer
Connecting as LFE channel (1)
X Connect subwoofer to LFE/Slave input.
Connecting as subwoofer for satellites (2)
X Connect full bandwidth signal to SAT/SUB input.
Sub reproduces sum of right and left signal.
X Set the Mode switch to LFE.
Multiple subwoofer connections
The BM14S can be used stand-alone or together with multiple subwoofer units.
Using multiple units may be helpful if the listening room is quite large or has difficult
acoustic conditions.
When using two or more subwoofers, the first one (designated “Master”) controls the
following subs (designated “Slave”) via a subwoofer cable.
To connect multiple subwoofers:
1. Connect the first subwoofer as described before.
2. Set Mode switch of first subwoofer to LFE.
3. From the Slave output of the first subwoofer connect a XLR cable to the
LFE/Slave input of the following subwoofer. This one now becomes the slave.
4. Set the Mode switch of the second subwoofer to Slave.
X Further subwoofers can be connected in the same way. Set the Mode switch of
all following subwoofers to Slave respectively.
Note: • You can also use both connection types. The signals will be combined in
the BM14S and routed accordingly. This allows the BM14S to reproduce
both the LFE channel information as well as the bass range of the
connected satellite system.
• Use Slave mode if you want to use an external bass management
system.
Note: • When using multiple subwoofers in a Master-Slave setup, it is
recommended that the subwoofers are all the same model.
• If you wish to use multiple subwoofers with full individual control, set the
Input switch for all to the LFE position. From the source subwoofer
output, use a Y-connector.
