INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this MTX powered home subwoofer system. Your new subwoofer is one of the most exciting home entertainment electronic products available, adding impact and realism to recorded music and movies. Once set-up and properly adjusted, it should give you many years of entertainment pleasure. Your subwoofer is a high value product using the latest materials, technology, and equipment by MTX, a vertically integrated company.
PLACEMENT OR POSITIONING Your new subwoofer will work well in a variety of locations. However, placement in your listening room will affect its performance. Since the wavelengths of sound reproduced by your subwoofer are large compared to its size, those sounds are omni-directional in nature. This means that locating your subwoofer in relation to your left and right main speakers will not affect the directional cues which they provide.

WIRING AND CONNECTIONS Note: Turn off all power to your subwoofer and other equipment before making any connections. Installation using speaker level inputs A) For amplifiers with one set of speaker outputs using the pass through in the subwoofer. If a preamplifier output connection is not available on your amplifier or receiver, your subwoofer can be connected using your equipment’s speaker outputs. These connections are made using commonly available 18 or 16 gauge speaker hook-up wire.
B) For use with A/V preamps and receivers that have a subwoofer line level output. If your preamplifier or receiver has a dual “subwoofer” output or “LFE” output, connect a shielded RCA cable from the preamplifier output to both the left and right low level inputs on the subwoofer. If the amplifier has a single “subwoofer” output or “LFE” output, connect a shielded RCA cable from the preamplifier output to either one of the subwoofer line level inputs. Refer to Figure E.
