(Figure 3) If you use a separate pre amplifier/power amplifier combo for stereo, follow
these instructions:
• Connect the pre amplifier’s output RCAs to the subwoofer’s line in RCAs.
• Connect the subwoofer’s line out RCAs to the power amplifier’s input RCAs.
• You can now use the subwoofer’s special high pass facilities for driving the
electrostatic panels.
• Follow Procedure B for adjusting the subwoofer.
() Another ‘trick’ to use the high pass filtering without having a separable integrated
amplifier or a pre & power combo, is using a cd player with an adjustable output level.
It only works if cd is your only source component in the system. The cd player’s
output volume now determines the system’s total volume (sub and panels).
• Connect the cd player’s output RCAs to the sub’s line in RCAs.
• Connect the sub’s line out RCAs to any amplifier’s line input RCAs (cd, aux,
tuner, extra, tape in).
• You can now use the subwoofer’s special high pass facilities for driving the
electrostatic panels.
• Follow Procedure B (see table of contents) for adjusting the subwoofer.
CONNECTING FOR HOME THEATRE
Make sure your entire system is powered off and choose one of the following connection
schemes.
(Figure 4) If you have an AV-receiver for five, six or seven channel Dolby Digital/DTS
surround sound, you can use the ‘standard’ connection method for subwoofers.
• Connect the AV-receiver’s LFE output to the subwoofer’s left OR right LINE IN RCA
terminal.
• Connect the five (six or seven) electrostatic panels to the five (six or seven) AV-
receiver’s loudspeaker output terminals.
• Adjust the ‘speaker size’ in the receiver’s menu to SMALL. This will activate the
receiver’s LFE output.
• If possible, adjust the crossover frequency between the panels and the subwoofer in
the menu. Choose the panel’s lowest frequency to start.
• You cannot use the subwoofer’s special high pass filter facilities for driving the
electrostatic panels.
• Follow Procedure A for adjusting the subwoofer.

surround sound which has separate pre out connections.
