Connection Considerations - Proficient Protege F5 Series Owner's Manual

CONNECTION CONSIDERATIONS

Please consider the following when setting up your new system:
• Before making or changing any connections, always make sure that the subwoofer and your other com-
ponents are turned OFF. Turn down the volume control of both the subwoofer and your processor or
receiver.
• Route power cords away from the signal cables or speaker wires to prevent hum or interference.
• Choose reliable, high quality interconnect cables. They should be fully shielded and as short as possible
for the job. The longest cable in your system will likely be to the subwoofer, so choose a good quality
brand.
TYPICAL CONNECTIONS TO A HOME THEATER (See Diagram 3)
1. Turn the subwoofer and receiver power OFF before making connections.
2. Connect the receiver's Sub/LFE line-level output to the subwoofer's L/LFE input.
3. Set the subwoofer's crossover frequency control to BYPASS, volume control to 0dB, and phase control
to 0˚.
4. Use the receiver's subwoofer controls to adjust the frequency range and volume.
5. Alternatively, the subwoofer's crossover frequency, volume, and phase can be adjusted carefully to blend
the subwoofer into your system.
