How do I connect my AS-A80.2 Actif Subwoofer to my audio setup?

Connecting your AS-A80.2 Actif Subwoofer correctly ensures optimal performance and enhanced audio. Here's how to connect it, depending on your system:

1. Hi-Level Connections: If your receiver or amplifier lacks line-level outputs, use the Hi-Level In on the AS-A80.2. Connect your source device's speaker terminals to the subwoofer's Hi-Level Inputs. Then, connect the subwoofer's Hi-Level Outputs to your left and right speakers.
2. Line-Level Connections: For systems with RCA line-level outputs (from a pre-amp or receiver), connect them directly to the Line In on the AS-A80.2 subwoofer.
3. TV Enhancement: To boost your TV's sound, connect the variable stereo outputs of your TV directly to the Line In on the AS-A80.2.
4. Dedicated Subwoofer Output: If your audio system has a dedicated subwoofer output, connect it to the Line In on the AS-A80.2. A Y-connector might be needed to feed a single output to both left and right inputs on the subwoofer.

After connecting your AS-A80.2, adjust these settings:

• Crossover Frequency: Set this to complement your main speakers.
• Gain: Adjust the gain to balance the subwoofer's volume with your main speakers.
• Phase Control: Use this to ensure the subwoofer is in phase with your other speakers for clear, cohesive sound.

Experiment with subwoofer placement within your room for the best bass response and immersive audio experience.
