1 INPUT L/R connector
These connectors receive the input signal to the
subwoofer. Balanced XLR and balanced phone jack
connectors are provided for both the L and R inputs.
The L and R inputs can be used simultaneously.
Signals supplied to both the L and R inputs are mixed
internally.
NOTE The XLR and phone jack input connectors can not be
used simultaneously. Use only one input connector at a
time.
NOTE Refer to “Connection and Cable Types” on page 14 for
more connector details.
2 OUTPUT L/R connectors
These are the subwoofer’s output connectors.
The input signals received at the INPUT L and R
connectors are output via the OUTPUT L and R
connectors, respectively. Low frequency reproduction
characteristics can be adjusted via the LOW CUT
switch and LOW CUT control.
3 LOW CUT switch
When this switch is ON, the low frequencies are
attenuated prior to output via the OUTPUT L and R
connectors at the frequency set by the LOW CUT
control. The low-frequency attenuation cutoff
frequency can be adjusted via the LOW CUT control.
4 LOW CUT control
Adjusts the low-frequency attenuation cutoff
frequency between 80 Hz and 120 Hz when the LOW
CUT switch is ON.
5 HIGH CUT control
Sets the cutoff frequency for subwoofer output high-
frequency attenuation from 80 Hz to 120 Hz.
6 PHASE switch
Switches the phase of the subwoofer output.
This switch should be set to [NORM.] in most
situations, but in combination with some speakers
and in some speaker layouts switching to the [REV.]
setting may improve low-frequency response. Select
the setting that provides the best bass response in
your system.
7 LEVEL control
Adjusts the subwoofer output level.
