To connect the Sunfire HRS-12 subwoofer to your home theater system, you have a few options depending on the outputs available on your processor or receiver. Here are the steps:
1. Determine the type of output your processor or receiver has for the subwoofer. It may be labeled as "Sub/LFE" or "Subwoofer Out."
2. If your processor or receiver has a dedicated subwoofer output, use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer's left input jack to the processor's subwoofer output. Make sure to connect to the left input jack only.
3. If your processor or receiver does not have a dedicated subwoofer output, you can use "Y" cables (or Y adaptors) to send the left and right main outputs to both the subwoofer and your amplifier. Connect the left and right outputs of your processor to the subwoofer's left and right input jacks using RCA cables.
4. If your main speakers are small satellites or minimonitors, you can also use the subwoofer's line-level high-pass outputs. Connect the high-pass outputs to the inputs of your powered speakers using RCA cables. This allows the subwoofer to control all the bass in your system while using smaller speakers for the mids and highs.
5. Adjust the crossover frequency control on the subwoofer to set the desired frequency range for the bass. Start with a bypass setting if your processor has its own subwoofer crossover frequency control. Otherwise, adjust the crossover frequency until the bass sounds natural.
6. Use the volume control on the subwoofer to match the output level of the subwoofer to the level of your satellite/main speakers. Start with the volume control turned down before turning on the subwoofer to prevent any loud surprises.
By following these steps and referring to the user manual for further details, you should be able to connect the Sunfire HRS-12 subwoofer to your home theater system and enjoy optimal performance.
