(4) LINE OUTPUT
Connect these jacks to the LINE IN preamp input to use the CHT-R’s internal high pass
crossover. See below for a more detailed explanation of this crossover.
(5) LINE INPUT/LFE Input
Connect these jacks to the LINE OUT preamp output, LFE output, or subwoofer output jacks
of your receiver/processor. If using the LFE output from your receiver or processor, plug
the single cable into the “L”– LFE input or, for more signal, use a “Y” connector and feed the
signal into both “R” and “L” inputs.
(6) HIGH PASS CROSSOVER Switch
This switch selects the frequency for the high pass crossover. This crossover is functional
on both line and speaker-level outputs. Smaller speakers with limited low frequency output
may perform better using the higher 100 Hz setting that will reduce the low frequencies
sent to them. Larger speakers with greater low frequency output may be able to handle the
80 Hz setting without strain.
(7) SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT Terminals
Connect these input terminals to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier or receiver.
If you use this method of connection, when you go to the receiver speaker set up menu,
make sure you select the large speaker option.
(8) SPEAKER LEVEL OUTPUT Terminals
Sends a crossed-over speaker-level signal to the front speakers. See below for a more
detailed explanation of this crossover.
Your new subwoofer is equipped with both speaker-level and line-level inputs. Use the
RCA/Phono type “INPUT” jacks when connecting your subwoofer to a pre-amp, signal
processor, or line-level crossover. The “SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT” jacks connect directly to the
speaker outputs of an integrated amplifier or receiver. Your amplifier section will notice no
additional loading effects when you use these inputs because of their high impedance.
Note:
Do not use both the RCA/Phono “INPUT” connections and “SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT”
connections simultaneously.
Low-Pass Crossover
Both sets of inputs sum the left and right channels together and the resulting signal is passed
through an adjustable low-pass crossover before being amplified. The crossover control allows
you to adjust the upper limit of the subwoofer’s frequency response from 40 to 120 Hz. The
subwoofer’s response will begin rolling off above the frequency you set this control to.
You should set the crossover frequency to obtain a smooth and seamless transition from the
subwoofer to the main speakers in your system. If your main speakers are smaller units with
limited low frequency output, you may wish to choose a higher frequency (such as 100 -120
Hz) than you would with larger speakers which have greater low frequency output. With larger
speakers, you might start with this control set lower, such as 80 Hz.
