SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT PLACING A SINGLE SUBWOOFER CONSIDERATIONS When installing a single subwoofer, experiment with different locations to find the one that produces the best results throughout your room’s When using subwoofers within the limited confines of a typical home seating area. As in the previous examples, placing the subwoofer in a theater room, the reflections, standing waves and absorptions within corner will produce the fewest number of deep response dips, which the room will create peaks and dips in the bass response that can vary...

PLACING FOUR SUBWOOFERS Rooms with multiple seating rows When installing four subwoofers, place each one in a room corner. In Placing one subwoofer in a front corner and the other subwoofer in the rooms with more than four corners, use the four corners closest to the rear corner on the same side will produce the most consistent bass listening area.
MAKING CONNECTIONS CAUTION: Never make or break connections unless all system components are powered off. CONNECTING TO AN AV SURROUND RECEIVER OR PROCESSOR WITH AN INTERNAL CROSSOVER If you are connecting to a surround processor with a low-pass filtered subwoofer output, connect the subwoofer as shown below. You can make either a balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) connection to either the subwoofer’s left or right input connector.

CONNECTING TO A STEREO RECEIVER, AMPLIFIER OR PREAMPLIFIER If you are connecting to a stereo device, connect the subwoofer as shown below. Stereo components rarely have subwoofer outputs. Use them if they are available; otherwise, be sure to use a Y-connector for the left output and one for the right output, connecting the subwoofer input to one side of each Y and the input for the left or right main speaker amplifier to the other side of the Y for proper main speaker operation.

CONNECTING MULTIPLE SUBWOOFERS When installing more than one Performa3V2 subwoofer, connect “Y” connectors to the receiver or processor’s outputs. If your source component has two subwoofer output jacks you can connect up to four subwoofers as illustrated on this page. Be sure to set up and adjust each subwoofer PEQ separately, then adjust all of the subwoofer levels and crossover frequencies together to blend to the main speaker systems.
TRIGGER AND POWER CONNECTIONS Trigger In/Out Connectors If you want your subwoofer(s) to turn on along with another component that supplies a trigger voltage, use a mono 3.5mm cable (not supplied) to connect the 12V DC Trigger In connector to the trigger voltage out connector of the other component.
