1200Watts from your power supply, so make sure that whatever you
plug your subwoofer into can handle it!
Speaker-level connections: High
Level Inputs
Using a good quality speaker cable,
connect the output of your power
amplifier to the binding posts on the
back of the S2/12t. You may also
connect the S2/12t to the binding posts
on the back of your loudspeaker
terminals if this is more convenient.
Make sure that you maintain proper
polarity. This means that the plus (+)
terminal of your amplifier must be
connected to the plus (+/red) terminal
on the back of the S2/12t, and the
negative (-) terminal to the negative (-
/white) terminal.
Using the high level inputs to feed the
S2/12t power amplifier will not degrade
the sound quality of either your
loudspeaker or the subwoofer.
Line-level connections
As an alternative, you can use the low-
level inputs on the S2/12t. Using a high
quality interconnect cable, connect your preamplifier’s output to the low
level inputs on the subwoofer labeled PRE AMP IN.
We strongly recommend that you do not use single-ended
interconnects longer than 10 feet (3.2 meters) to connect the
preamplifier outputs to your subwoofer. On many preamplifiers, using
an interconnect that is too long will negatively affect the performance of
your preamplifier because of the high capacitance of the interconnect
cable across the output of your preamplifier. This is why we provide
balanced inputs on the S2/12t. Balanced interconnects can be as long
as you like. (See page 7.)
If your preamplifier has only one set of balanced outputs and one set of
unbalanced (RCA) type outputs, choose your first preference of
connection for the amplifier that is driving your loudspeaker. Use the
remaining set of outputs to feed the S2/12t’s amplifier.
