Connecting Your Subwoofer
The Atlantic Technology 10 CSB is simple to hook up, offering several
connection methods for maximum flexibility. Study the system diagrams
starting on the next page. Once you have found the example which most
closely matches your system, hook up your subwoofer(s) as shown in
that diagram.
Low-Level Connection
In most cases, we suggest using the low-level (RCA jack) subwoofer line
out or preamp output if your receiver/processor has one. Simply connect
your subwoofer with high quality shielded cables as shown in the dia
-
grams. Use the diagram that best suits your connection requirements.
Adding a Second Sub
Use the supplied y-adapter to connect the cable from the second sub. This
may be located at either end of the first sub's input cable.
High-Level Connection
Alternately, you may use the high-level (speaker) inputs. We recommend
that you connect your new Subwoofer(s) using high quality wire of 16
gauge or larger. There are many respected manufacturers in the audio
industry that specialize in speaker wire and interconnect cables suitable
for your new system. Please consult your audio/video dealer for more
specific information.
High-level Output
When using the high level inputs, connect your front left and right speak-
ers here. This method is primarily intended for systems without a built-in
crossover or a dedicated subwoofer output. The signal that comes from
the High-level Output jacks is high-pass filtered to avoid overdriving these
speakers with deep bass. The characteristics of this filter are designed for
maximum compatibility with Atlantic speakers.
WARNING:
To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your
equipment, always unplug all component AC cords before pro
-
ceeding with speaker and component connections! The last step in
wiring your system should be plugging in the AC cords!
