SUB120’s High-Pass outputs. The reason for this is that when your satellite speaker receives the filtered output from the SUB120, it will no longer be looking at the frequency below the crossover point. Let’s say your satellite speaker has a natural frequency roll-off at 70 Hz, and you are sending full range signal (as low as 20Hz) to the satellite amplifier and speaker. - Page 9 If the SUB120 receives a clipped signal for a long duration of time the unit will shut down and enter PROTECT mode. When the SUB120 is in Protect, you will see the POWER /PROTECT LED is lit up in red. If this happens simply turn the unit off, wait a minute and then re-power up the unit.
