Audio Connections
Your Sonance Cabinet Subwoofer has exible connections that
let you use it in a wide variety of audio system congurations.
Line Level
You can connect the subwoofer’s line level Input to a surround
processor or receiver’s line-level dedicated subwoofer output or
a stereo preamp/integrated amplier’s left and right main outputs.
If your receiver has a subwoofer output jack, you can connect
your subwoofer, using the LEFT/LFE input (see Figure 1).
Speaker Level Input
The subwoofer’s speaker inputs can be connected to the
speaker outputs of a receiver or integrated amp that does not
have left and right line-level outputs or a dedicated subwoofer
output.
Wireless Input
Connect line level inputs from the Wireless Transmitter to
the surround processor or receiver following the line level
instructions above. Once your Sonance Wireless Transmitter
and D8 are powered on, press and hold the PAIR button on
the back of the Wireless Transmitter. Once the transmitter is
in PAIR mode, the LED light will blink blue. Release the PAIR
button and within 30 seconds, press and hold the Wireless
SYNC button on the bottom of the subwoofer until the light on
front of the Wireless Transmitter turns solid blue, then release.
Your D8 and Wireless Transmitter are now paired (see Figure 1).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO THE WALL
OUTLET UNTIL ALL SYSTEM CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE
AND VERIFIED.
NOTE: IF YOU NEED TO USE AN EXTENSION CORD, USE ONLY A
HEAVY-DUTY (14-GAUGE OR LARGER) EXTENSION CORD TO AVOID
STARVING THE SUBWOOFER OF ALL THE CURRENT NECESSARY FOR
FULL-POWER OPERATION.

Ground Lift
Your Sonance Cabinet Subwoofer features a ground lift switch
available to eliminate most grounding issues. To reduce the
ground current and induced noises, switch the GROUND LIFT
from ISOLATED to GROUNDED. Safety is not aected
(see Figure 2).
Power Connection
Your Sonance Cabinet Subwoofer features a removable IEC
power cord (see Figure 3). (A power cord is included only with
115V versions of the subwoofer.) Plug the female end of the
power cord into the power cord connector on the subwoofer’s
rear panel and plug the male end into a grounded wall socket.
Do NOT plug the subwoofer’s power cord into a convenience
outlet on any other audio or video component.

NOTE: WHEN USING THE SUBWOOFER’S SPEAKER INPUTS WE
RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING MINIMUM SPEAKER WIRE SIZES:
• 16 GUAGE FOR A TOTAL WIRE LENGTH OF UP TO 500’
• 14 GUAGE FOR A TOTAL WIRE LENGTH OF UP TO 1,000’
TO DETERMINE THE TOTAL WIRE LENGTH, ADD THE LENGTHS OF
WIRE BETWEEN THE AMPLIFIER AND SUBWOOFER AND BETWEEN
THE SUBWOOFER AND THE MAIN SPEAKERS.
