(to optimize performance) and bass information will
be sent directly to your external subwoofer for a
deeper, extended, overall bass response.
Reference your subwoofer’s manual to learn how
to properly adjust the sub’s level and phase con-
trols to achieve proper blending with the speaker.
When Sub Out is set to “On,” the speaker will
handle the crossover setting to the subwoofer,
achieving ideal blending with the speaker.
Because of this, the subwoofer’s crossover should
be set to “bypass” or “LFE.” For subwoofers that
do not have a “bypass” or “LFE” crossover setting,
we recommend adjusting the crossover to its high-
est setting—remember, the speaker will handle the
crossover before sending out the sub signal.
Using a MartinLogan Dynamo Subwoofer:
If using a MartinLogan Dynamo family subwoofer,
we recommend beginning with the following sub-
woofer settings:
Low-pass: Bypass
Phase: 0
Volume: Knob set to vertical (12-o’clock to
1-o’clock position)
Digital Optical: Also referred to as Toslink, this cable utilizes one cable to pass digital
audio information (no video). A digital optical cable offers a high-quality digital
connection and passes multi-channel encoded audio between a source compo-
nent and an audio output device. The Auxiliary input on this speaker accepts
digital optical connection with the use of a mini-Toslink adaptor (included with
this speaker). Toslink to mini-Toslink cables may also be available from your dealer.
Left/Right Analog RCA: These cables are used to pass audio information (no
video). An analog RCA cable can only pass a single channel of audio infor-
mation between a source component and audio output device. To achieve
two-channels of audio (left/right), you will find that analog RCA cables come
bundled as a stereo pair (two connectors on each end). The Auxiliary input
on this speaker can accept an analog stereo signal through a cable using a
3.5mm stereo “headphone style” jack. If you are connecting this speaker to a device (such as a dock
or CD player) with left/right RCA analog outputs, you will need a special cable with a 3.5mm ‘head-
phone style’ jack on one end and left/right RCA jacks on the other end.
Left/Right Analog 3.5mm Stereo “Headphone Style” Jack: This cable is used to pass
audio information (no video). Users may find source components such as digital
media players and docks utilize a 3.5mm ‘headphone style’ connector. The
Auxiliary input on this speaker can accept an analog stereo signal through a
cable using a 3.5mm “headphone style” connector. These devices also have a
“volume control” that increases or decreases the level of the output signal. [CONTINUED ON PAGE 10]
