R8DT SUBWOOFER INTRODUCTION The Russound R8DT active subwoofer delivers the chest-thumping deep bass sound you want for a supersonic listening experience. Whether it’s the asteroids breaking apart in your favorite sci-fi movie or the in-yourface concert experience of a classic rock band performance, the R8DT keeps up its end of the deal in your home theater or audio system.
R8DT SUBWOOFER 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 4 1 Volume Level Adjustment: Increase or decrease the output level relative to the incoming signal. 2 Crossover: Provides active filtering of the incoming signal to allow only lower frequencies to be amplified. Adjustment range from 60Hz to 160Hz. 3 Power Auto, On and Off: Auto setting - amplifier turns on when audio is detected. On - amplifier is always on. Off - amplifier is off. 4 Phase Selection: The speaker Phase can be inverted 180 degrees.
R8DT SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS When you make connections make sure the power switches of all components are off, including the subwoofer. Audio Cables If you are connecting your subwoofer into a system made up of separate components (preamps and power amps), you will need audio cables long enough to reach the subwoofer from the preamplifier and the power amplifier. Speaker Wire Typical speaker wire has a pair of separate conductors with insulating jackets that are molded together.
R8DT SUBWOOFER Method B (Most universal installation, least desirable sonically) This connection method allows the subwoofer to be used with virtually any audio system, but its audio output is not as clean as when line in inputs are used as in Method A. Connect speaker wire from the amplifier/receiver’s main Left and Right outputs to the speaker level input on the subwoofer. Using the same size speaker wire, connect the speaker level outputs from the subwoofer to the main Left and Right speakers.
