REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
Following are brief descriptions of the controls and connections described in Figures 3, 4 and 5. More detail of these connections can be found below:
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) ir input
This is a connection that allows the utilization of a third party infrared remote sensor, such as elan or Xantech, or an extended cable for
placement closer to your other remote controlled equipment. This keeps you from awkward control angles using the infrared remote
control.
(4) line output
Connect these jacks to the lINe IN preamp input to use the eq-Max’s internal high-pass crossover. The signal fed from these
connectors is rolled off below 120 Hz.
line input/lfe
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 (not
included) and feed the signal into both “R” and “l” inputs.
(5) auto on/off switch
Use this switch to select between “stand-by” mode (woofer shuts off after eight minutes) and “always on” operation.
(6) Volume Control
This control allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to the main speakers in your system. This control should be set to
achieve similar volume level from between both the main speakers and subwoofer. When pressing volume up or down, set the level
while watching the leD display for reference.
Note: Volume is also controllable by using the supplied remote. When defaults are restored, the default is 30 out of 80.
(7) low-pass CrossoVer
Use this knob to select the frequency above which you wish to cut off the signal to the subwoofer. When the knob is turned all the way
to the left, the Subwoofer Direct feature is invoked and the subwoofer plays all frequencies up to 135 Hz.
