Using Speaker Level Inputs - MartinLogan Dynamo 800X User Manual

Using Speaker Level Inputs

This connection method is recommended if your subwoofer will be
used in a 2-channel only system with full-range front loudspeakers.
To connect using Speaker Level Inputs the speaker cable should
be terminated using banana style plugs. The Low-Pass Filter is
applied to the signal received through these inputs.
SWT-X Wireless System: This connection method is not compat-
ible with the SWT-X wireless receiver/transmitter system.
Speaker Level Inputs are an alternative to using RCA or XLR inter-
connects. If you use the Speaker Level Inputs do not use RCA or
XLR at the same time for Left In/Right In connections. If you use the
Speaker Level Inputs it is okay to still use RCA or XLR for the LFE
connection.
Connect the left and right outputs of your amplifier to the sub's
Speaker Level Inputs (Left In/Right In). Use quality speaker cable
and banana plugs. Be consistent and make sure the positive (+)
and negative (–) terminals from your amplifier are attached to the
matching positive (+) and negative (–) terminals on the subwoofer.
If your amplifier only has one set of outputs you may connect your
amplifier to your speakers as normal and run an additional set of
cables from your speakers to the subwoofer's Speaker Level Inputs.
