Connecting the SBX and Your Main Speakers

Most applications will utilize the SBX’s internal Stereo Bass Management

System to realize maximum benefit. There are, however, two possible

operational modes that you may use when connecting your SBX and your

Mains, or “Satellite” stereo speakers, i.e., 1) using the SBX with bass

management and 2) using the SBX without bass management.

Using the SBX with Stereo Bass Management

To take advantage of the SBX’s internal Stereo Bass Management System, your

main monitors become satellites of the subwoofer. Connect the left and right

main or control room outputs of your mixer, sound card, or other audio source

to the Input-L and Input-R jacks of the SBX (#6) respectively. (You may use either

the XLR or TRS inputs, depending upon your cabling needs.) Then, connect

Output-L and Output-R (#9) XLR jacks on the SBX to the inputs on the left and

right satellites.

Once you have completed this setup, you must set the Subwoofer LPF control

knob and the Satellites HPF control knob for your particular needs. Please see

the section, “Optimizing the Rear Panel Settings” for information on how to do

this. Also note that the HPF Bypass switch is set to “Off” in this scenario.
