  • Page 14: System Configurations

    System Configurations The following pages show some typical connections that you might make in your installation. They show how the inputs and outputs of the Sunfire Subwoofer are connected to your preamplifier or AV receiver. Connections to a Preamplifier’s Subwoofer Output If your AV Receiver / Preamplifier has a subwoofer output (often labeled LFE for Low Frequency Effects), it can be connected to the subwoofer’s left or right input as shown.
  • Page 15 Connections to a Preamplifier Using "Y" Cables If your preamplifier does not have a dedicated sub/LFE output, you can use “Y” cables to send its main outputs to both the subwoofer and your amplifier. The subwoofer will play the low frequency range and your front speakers will play the full range.
  • Page 16 Using the Line-Level Outputs If you are using a preamplifier that does not have a sub/LFE output, you can send its left and right front output into the subwoofer’s line-level inputs and then connect the subwoofer’s line-level outputs to the inputs of your amplifier. The subwoofer will play the low frequencies and your amplifier and front speakers will play the frequency range of the subwoofer's outputs.
  • Page 17 Using the Slave Input and Output The SLAVE output from one XTEQ subwoofer can be connected to the SLAVE input of a second XTEQ subwoofer. The second subwoofer will then receive the optimum audio signals from the first. There is no need to adjust the controls of the second subwoofer, as the audio is controlled by the controls and EQ setting of the first.
