How do I connect my subwoofer line?
Using a subwoofer cable (RCA cable), connect the subwoofer to the AV receiver by running the cable from the receiver’s subwoofer output to the subwoofer’s line input. Klipsch subwoofers can be connected via the LFE channel, the white RCA connection, or in a stereo pair by using both the white and red RCA connections.
What cables do you need for a subwoofer?
Regardless of what type of connection is available, be it RCA or direct wired, it is highly recommended to use shielded, heavy gauge cabling specifically designed for subwoofers. Such cables provide a cleaner, more noise-free audio signal.
How do I connect my subwoofer to my stereo system?
Connect. If you are using your subwoofer with a home theater receiver, the connection is simple: Just run an audio interconnect cable like this one from the receiver’s subwoofer output to the subwoofer’s line input (pictured above). If the subwoofer has an input labeled LFE, use that one.
How do I connect my subwoofer to left and right input?
To connect a subwoofer to its receiver, you can use an LFE input cable or an RCA line-in cable (used for left and right input options). Assuming your subwoofer has the option to use an LFE input, this will be your best choice. But, if not, then an RCA input option will work.
How do I connect a subwoofer to my Receiver?
Step 1: Look for a sub pre out on the back of the receiver or processor. This would be a small RCA jack, often black in color that says sub. It would be under the heading outputs or pre-out. This is the output that will send the audio signal to your sub using sub woofer cables.
How many subwoofers do I need for a home theater?
Always select two well designed subwoofers (preferably the same) that are each in their own capable of filling your theater room with ample bass without bottoming out or running out of gas. If you can’t afford two subwoofers at the moment, buy one quality sub for now and add a similar capable one down the road when you’ve got the cash.
How does a subwoofer X-over work?
It directly drives the main speakers and also provides the signal for the subwoofer, but the subwoofer itself amplifies the signal from the receiver. The receiver should just be performing the crossover of the subwoofer only in this installation. For some installations you may wish to have the subwoofer x-over perform the filter slope for itself.
What should I Set my subwoofer LFE to?
Some processors will allow you to set the sub out to: mono, stereo L/R and front/back. Use the appropriate setting depending on your layout but also note that some processors that offer the “front/back” option only send the LFE info to one of the subs (usually the back). Thus I usually recommend either the mono or stereo L/R option.
