CONFIGURING YOUR RECEIVER OR PROCESSOR
Configuring Your Receiver or
Processor
Modern surround sound receivers and
processors are sophisticated machines
that enable you to tailor the receiver's
performance to match your loudspeakers
by programming the bass-management
function of the receiver. Bass management
ensures that the lowest and most powerful
frequency signals will be sent only to those
loudspeakers capable of reproducing them
without distortion. This is a simple matter of
selecting the correct speaker "size" on the
receiver to match the frequency range of
your speakers.
In the case of the HKSUB 12 subwoofer,
it is important to make sure that the
Subwoofer channel is enabled by setting it to
, , or ,
depending upon the capabilities of your
receiver. If you have full-range speakers for
your front left and right channels, you may
wish to configure your receiver to send only
the LFE signal to the HKSUB 12. For maxi-
mum bass performance, you may prefer to
send both the L/R and LFE low-frequency
signals to the HKSUB 12. Consult the
owner's manual for your receiver or processor
for additional information.
