    AUDIO CONNECTIONS Connect signal sources to either the XLR or 6mm (¼") INPUT connectors. Connect a single signal source to the speaker using either the XLR INPUT connectors, OR the 6mm (¼") TRS INPUT connectors. Do not connect multiple signal sources to the XLR and 6mm (¼") input connectors simultaneously. If the LSR310S subwoofer is being used to reproduce the .1 LFE channel in a surround sound system, connect the .1 LFE signal to either the LEFT or RIGHT input of the subwoofer.
  • Page 15: Crossover Settings And Bass Management

    CROSSOVER SETTINGS AND BASS MANAGEMENT “Bass management” is a term that refers to the practice of using a subwoofer to reproduce the bass frequencies of the main channels. Because of the physiology of the human ear, low frequencies are largely non-directional. Given an adequate listening distance, we can’t easily tell where bass signals are coming from.
