MODEL 500 AMPLIFIER
C O N N E C T I O N
No signal connection cable is provided with the MODEL 500 amplifier since the length of cable is installation
specific. A shielded RCA type coaxial cable or a shielded two-conductor wire with RCA type connectors is required
for connection of the MODEL 500 to the audio system.
Before making any connections, ensure that power cord is disconnected or that the main power switch is switched
to the off position.
Input Signal: Follow the diagram on page 6 for connecting the subwoofer to your audio system. Use the option
that best suits your installation. The information below will aid in determining which option to use.
If an LFE (Low Frequency Effect) or Subwoofer output is available then skip to Option 2 since it will likely produce
the best results. If no LFE output is available and a line level Front Channel Output or Preamplifier Output is
available, then this (Option 1) is the preferred method of connection.
Per the Option 1 drawing on the adjacent page, use a stereo RCA style (patch) cable and connect the left and
right line level (RCA style) front channel outputs of your receiver or preamplifier/processor to the Left/Right Line
Level inputs of the MODEL 500.
If the amplifier is to be connected to a modern home theater receiver or processor with an available LFE or
Subwoofer output then this option will likely produce the best results. If no LFE or Subwoofer output is available
but a line level Front Channel Output or Preamplifier Output is available, then use Option 1.
Per the Option 2 drawing on the adjacent page, use a single RCA style (patch) cable and connect the
line level (RCA style) LFE or Subwoofer output of your receiver or preamplifier/processor to the Left/LFE
Line Level input of the MODEL 500.
AC Power: The unit is shipped with a standard IEC AC cable. Remove this cable from its packaging and insert
the cord into the IEC receptacle on the back of the subwoofer. It is best to connect power only after all other
connections are made. Connect the power cord to an AC wall receptacle or similar source.
