Following is an overview of the subwoofer controls and connections:
1 Inputs
The RCA and 3.5mm mini-jack inputs are line-level audio inputs used for
connecting the output of your audio source (receiver, TV, iPod, computer,
etc.) into your AS8 subwoofer. Both inputs are active so no switching is
required if you wish to use inputs from 2 different audio sources plugged
in at the same time.
Note: If your receiver has a single (mono) subwoofer output, connect an RCA-
cable from this output to the RIGHT RCA input on the AS8 rear panel.
2 LFE In
If your preamplifier or receiver has an LFE (“Low Frequency Effects”) input
or single SUB output connect it to this "LFE In" input connector on the
subwoofer.
Note: Most receivers have a subwoofer preamp mono or stereo output, so
LFE will most-likely remain unconnected.

receiver, check out the Audioengine W1 wireless adapters (shameless prod-
uct plug) or Apple’s Airport Express for high-quality wireless options. The
AS8 has a built-in AC outlet on the rear panel that’s perfect for powering
these wireless products.
Controls
Your AS8 Powered Subwoofer offers simple yet versatile setting options.
After you've become familiar with what these settings do, don’t hesitate to
experiment with them to find the sound that works best with your system.
When you set up your subwoofer for the first time, you will probably make
adjustments a few times before you hear what you like. Start with the
volume at 50% and keep in mind that as with subwoofer room placement,
there are really no right or wrong settings.
