Samson SUB88 - Manual (Page 14)

Mono Sub With Active Satellites
If you have active monitors, installation is easy using the Sub88's LINE LEVEL inputs. Below is a typical system set-up using the
sub88 with a mixer and a pair of active satellite loudspeakers. The sub88’s inputs and outputs utilize industry standard RCA con-
nectors. For a detailed wiring diagram, see the section “sub88 Connections” on page 16. Follow the steps in the diagram below to
set up your system.
• Lower your mixer’s master outputs to all the way off.
• Connect the mixer’s left output to the sub88’s LEFT LINE INPUT and the mixer’s right output to the sub88’s RIGHT LINE
INPUT. Now connect the sub88’s LEFT LINE OUTPUT to the input of the left powered satellite, and the sub88’s RIGHT LINE
OUTPUT to the input of the right powered satellite.
• Now adjust the SWEEP control to the desired frequency. Consult your studio monitors owner’s manual for a recommend-
ed crossover point. You can also use your ears by adjusting the SWEEP control to the frequency that sounds good to you.
A good place to start is about 70 Hz. (10 O'clock)
• Run an audio signal (like some music from a CD) through your mixer and raise the level to a comfortable listening level.
Now slowly raise the sub88 SUB VOLUME control and listen to the low frequency output. Adjust the sub88 to the level
of low frequency output that you like. Now, when you raise and lower your mixer’s output, the sub88 and satellites will
track at the same relative volume.
