This setup
is
recommended if your subwoofer
will
be
used
in
a dedicated home theater or multi-channel system.
When
a signal

to
the subwoofer's
LFE
input,
and
the
crossover switch
is
set
to 'Bypass
(LFE
In
)'
th
e
internal
low

filter
is
not active. By
follo
wing
thi
s setup, you
will
allow
your
processor
to
handle
most
of
th
e

and

WARNING!
Based on
the
pe~ormance
of
most
proces-
sors,
it
is
recommended that
Martinlogan
center and effects type speakers not be
run
in
large,
wide,
or
full
range mode. Doing
so
may
potentially
damage
the
speaker if
the processor attempts to drive
the
speaker
beyond
its
rated frequency range.
This
warning
also
applies to products from other
manufacturers.
It
is
recomme
nded
to
run
center
and
effects
type speakers in limit
ed
or
narrow
mode
.
Some
processors
have an
op
ti
on to
route
the
LFE
channel to your main
and/
or
surround
speakers.
We
recommend
that
you
do
not
use
this
option.
