Connection Method Using the “Subwoofer” output of an
A/V Receiver or Processor
(See figure 5)
This connection can be made with an RCA interconnect cable in combination with a “Y”
connector available at most audio stores.The Y Connector splits the mono subwoofer
output signal into two outputs. One is fed to the left APS 5+2 RCA input and the other
is fed to the right APS 5+2 RCA input.The above connection would normally be made
with long RCA interconnect cables, one for each speaker Make sure the subwoofer input
selector switch is in the upper (180°) or lower (0°) position.
Low level Connection method using a pre-amp or A/V
processor and separate power amplifiers
(See figure 6)
This connection can be made with RCA interconnect cables in combination with a “Y”
connector available at most audio stores.The “Y” connector splits the pre-amp or A/V
processors output into two outputs. One of the “Y” connector outputs is fed to the
power amplifier input; the other to the RCA input of the APS 5+2.This process must be
repeated for each channel connected to an APS 5+2. Make sure the subwoofer input
selector switch is in the upper (180°) or lower (0°) position.
Controls Subwoofer Input Selector Switch
A three position toggle switch that allows the user to select between RCA Input
(0° or 180°) or Speaker Input (internally connected).
Speaker Level Connection Method:The toggle switch should be set to the
middle position.
Low Level Connection Method:The toggle switch on both of your left and right
APS 5+2 speakers should be set to either the 0° or 180° position.To determine the best
position for your application, play a recording with male vocal content and set the
toggle switch on both speakers to 0° and listen.Then, switch both toggles to 180° and
listen again. Choose the toggle switch position that produces the fullest sound, and set
both speakers to that selection.
Level Control
This rotary control adjusts the bass output level of the subwoofer section of the APS 5+2.
Speaker Level Connection Method: Settings between 9 and 12 o’clock produce
balanced output between low, mid and high frequencies. For more bass output, rotate
clockwise.
Low Level Connection Method: Since each receiver/processor produces
different output levels, experiment to find the most suitable selection for your
listening needs.
Low Frequency (LF) EQ. Control
In either Speaker Level or Low Level connection, this control adjusts the extreme low
frequency characteristics of the APS 5+2. It is continuously variable from –3dB through 0
to +3dB to precisely match the subwoofer section of the APS 5+2 with the acoustics of
your listening room. If bass is too boomy and lacks deep detailed bass, adjust this control
counter-clockwise until desired performance is achieved.
