Operation with a surround amplifier

Once you have positioned and connected your speakers as shown in the illustration, you

should perform the necessary settings in the bass management system of your surround

amplifier.

Make sure you read the user manual supplied by your amplifier’s manufacturer before

doing this.

Since bass management primarily depends on the loudspeaker configuration, we give

only typical settings below.

a) Small and very small satellite speakers must be operated in “small” mode.

Perform the setting on your amplifier as follows:

Front: small

Centre: small

Rear: small

Subwoofer: yes

b) There is no definitive formula for the settings for compact speakers. In this case, the

suitable mode may be “large” or “small”. This depends on the volume level you prefer

or the sound effect you wish to obtain (refer to the section “Caution, clipping!”).

The settings on your amplifier can optionally be configured as follows:

Front: large/small

Centre: large/small

Rear: large/small

Subwoofer: yes

c) Floorstanding speakers or large bookshelf speakers that are suitable for powerful bass

reproduction should be operated in “large” mode.

Perform the setting on the amplifier as follows:

Front: large

Centre: large

Rear: large

Subwoofer: yes/no

For the special quadral centre speakers, we generally recommend “small” mode.

Subwoofer

If your surround amplifier has a “line subwoofer” output, you can make use of this by

using the Y cable shipped with the subwoofer (see illustration). In this case, you connect

the front speakers directly to the front speaker terminals of your amplifier. Refer to the

connection diagram for wiring your surround system.

Refer to the user manual of the active subwoofer for the necessary settings on your

subwoofer!
