Option A: Using a Dedicated Subwoofer Output (RCA Line In)

This is the recommended connection method if your receiver or amplifier has a dedicated "Subwoofer Out" or "LFE Out" RCA jack.

  1. Connect one end of the included RCA cable (or your own single RCA cable) to the "Subwoofer Out" or "LFE Out" jack on your receiver.
  2. Connect the other end of the RCA cable to the "Line In" (L or R) jack on the SUB8S subwoofer. If using a single RCA cable from your receiver, you can use the included "Y" adapter to connect to both L and R inputs on the subwoofer for potentially higher signal level, though a single connection to either L or R is often sufficient.
Option B: Using High-Level Inputs (Speaker Wire)

Use this method if your receiver or amplifier does not have a dedicated subwoofer output.

  1. פאַרבינדן די רעדנער ווירעס פֿון דיין amplifier's main left and right speaker outputs to the "Hi Level Input" terminals on the SUB8S subwoofer. Match positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to negative (-).
  2. Connect your main left and right speakers to the "Hi Level Output" terminals on the SUB8S subwoofer. Again, match polarity.

3. מאַכט קאַנעקשאַן

Once audio connections are made, connect the subwoofer's power cord to a standard 110V AC wall outlet.

אָפּעראַציע

1. פּאָווערינג אויף / אויסגעלאשן

  • Set the "On/Auto Off" switch to "On" for continuous power. The power indicator will illuminate.
  • Set the "On/Auto Off" switch to "Auto Off" for automatic power management. The subwoofer will power on when an audio signal is detected and enter standby mode after approximately two minutes of no signal.

2. אַדזשאַסטינג קאָנטראָלס

Fine-tune the subwoofer's performance using the rear panel controls:

  • געווינען קאָנטראָל: Start with the gain control at its minimum setting. Gradually increase it until the subwoofer's output blends seamlessly with your main speakers. Avoid setting it too high, which can result in boomy or unnatural bass.
  • קראָססאָווער קאָנטראָל: This control sets the highest frequency the subwoofer will reproduce. A good starting point is typically around 80Hz-100Hz, but this depends on the low-frequency capabilities of your main speakers. If your main speakers are small, set the crossover higher (e.g., 100Hz-120Hz). If they are larger with good bass response, set it lower (e.g., 60Hz-80Hz). Adjust by ear for the smoothest transition between the subwoofer and main speakers.
  • פאַזע סוויטש (0°/180°): Experiment with both 0° and 180° settings. Choose the setting that provides the most impactful and coherent bass response at your listening position. This often involves listening to music with strong bass and switching between the two settings to hear which sounds fuller and more integrated.
