these wireless products.
Controls
Your AS8 Powered Subwoofer o ers simple yet versatile setting options.
After you've become familiar with what these settings do, don't hesitate to
experiment with them to nd the sound that works best with your system.
When you set up your subwoofer for the rst time, you will probably make
adjustments a few times before you hear what you like. Start with the
volume at 50% and keep in mind that as with subwoofer room placement,
there are really no right or wrong settings.

1 Inputs
The RCA and 3.5mm mini-jack inputs are line-level audio inputs used for
connecting the output of your audio source (receiver, TV, iPod, computer,
etc.) into your AS8 subwoofer. Both inputs are active so no switching is
required if you wish to use inputs from 2 di erent audio sources plugged
in at the same time.
Note: If your receiver has a single (mono) subwoofer output, connect an RCA-
cable from this output to the RIGHT RCA input on the AS8 rear panel.
2 LFE In
If your preampli er or receiver has an LFE ("Low Frequency E ects") input
or single SUB output connect it to this "LFE In" input connector on the
subwoofer.
Note: Most receivers have a subwoofer preamp mono or stereo output, so
LFE will most-likely remain unconnected.
