youmayuseeithertheAorBinputconnector.
CAUTION:
NEVERconnecttheoutputofan
amplierdirectlytotheinputofthe
subwoofer.Thiscoulddamagetheinput

4. HIGH PASS OUTPUTS
BalancedXLRmaleconnectorsareprovidedforthe
line-levelAandBhigh-passoutputs.Thesubwoofer’s
internalactivecrossoversplitstheinputsignalsinto
twofrequencybands.Thelowfrequencyrangebelow
100Hzgoestotheinternalamplierthatpowersthe
subwoofer.Thefrequencyrangeabove100Hzissentto
theseline-leveloutputjacks.
Connecttheseoutputstotheinputsofyourmain
poweredloudspeakers,ortotheinputsoftheamplier
poweringthemainloudspeakers.Inthisway,themain
loudspeakerswillplaytherangeabove100Hz.Ifthe
mainloudspeakershavegoodlow-frequencyresponse,
thenyoumaydecidetousethefull-rangeoutputs(5)
instead.
