INSTALLATION 1 5 2 4 3 Front Panel (grille removed) 1 POWER INDICATOR – Lights up amber when the SUB105 amplifier is in standby mode and green when fully on. 4 CROSSOVER FREQUENCY CONTROL – Selects the frequency for the low-pass filter within the range of 50 to 200 Hz. 2 VOLUME CONTROL – Adjusts the acoustic output level relative to the incoming signal. 5 3 POWER SWITCH – Selects the power state of the internal amplifier.
INSTALLATION Connections LFE input The SUB105 gives you multiple options for connecting to your audio system. Choose the option that works best for your particular situation and equipment. The low-frequency effects (LFE) input is for use when the LFE or subwoofer output on the home theater receiver or processor is turned on. Connect an RCA patch cable between the SUB105’s LFE input and the LFE or subwoofer output on the receiver or processor. Note: Choose only one connection option.
INSTALLATION Line-level input Note: When the LFE or line-level input is connected to an audio system powered by a different electrical circuit from the one used to power the SUB105, a ground loop may result. This causes a low-frequency hum. To eliminate the hum, connect the SUB105 to the same electrical circuit as the audio system or use a ground loop isolator in series with the RCA cable.
INSTALLATION RJ-45 Using T568A Wiring Standard Connections (continued) RNET A/V input The RNET A/V balanced stereo line-level input allows connection to the source equipment via a CAT-5 cable. This input is an 8-pole RJ-45 connector that uses Russound’s RNET A/V technology. It connects to either an RNET A/V source output or an RAVE1 RNET A/V Encoder at the source end. At the source end, plug the connector into the RNET A/V jack on the source or the RNET A/V Encoder.
INSTALLATION Speaker-level input red positive (+) terminal and the black wire to the black negative (–) terminal. This input is for use when you need to send an amplified signal to the SUB105, such as when no line-level signal is available. Note: Some speaker cables have other ways of designating polarity. For example, cable with a clear jacket usually has a copper-colored wire for positive and a silver-colored wire for negative.
INSTALLATION Power After making the audio connections, check the voltage switch on the back of the SUB105 to make sure it is set to the correct voltage for your area. Insert one end of the supplied power cable into the IEC receptacle next to the voltage switch and the other end into a live power receptacle. Remove the grille from the front of the SUB105 to access the control panel. Slide the power switch to the Auto setting to place the SUB105 in standby mode or the On setting to place it in full on mode.
