M-AUDIO Studiophile SBX - Manual (Page 7)

Using the SBX without Stereo Bass Management
You may wish to use the SBX with an existing external bass management
system, or with bass management defeated on the SBX. See section, “Setting
the HPF Bypass Switch” for more information on defeating bass management.
With bass management defeated, you may still use the speaker setup
illustrated above. With the HPF Bypass switch set to “On,” the L & R XLR Outputs
will operate in a “Thru” mode, passing the original signal at the Input section
directly through to the outputs. In this setup, you will want to set the Subwoofer
LPF control knob to the desired cutoff frequency for the SBX. The Satellites HPF
control knob is not operational with the HPF Bypass switch set to “On.”
If you are using an external bass management device, or if you have an
auxiliary or subwoofer output send, you may want to connect this directly to
the SBX while connecting your main L & R outputs directly to your “Mains,” or
stereo L & R speakers. In this instance, you may use either the Input-L or Input-
R connections on the SBX.
In this setup, you will want to set the Subwoofer LPF control knob to the desired
cutoff frequency for the SBX. Once again, the Satellites HPF control knob is not
operational with the HPF Bypass switch set to “On.”
