PLACING YOUR SUBWOOFER(S) You often hear the term “subwoofers are non-directional.” This is not true. It is harder to choose subwoofer placement when low frequencies are crossed. The wider the room, the more directional the subwoofer. The easiest solution is to use two (2) subwoofers, feed a mono signal to both and place them in front, one on the left and another on the right.
BALANCED XLR SETUP - DUAL SUBS PLACING YOUR SUBWOOFER(S) The diagram below illustrates how to connect two MKVI DSP subwoofers using only balanced XLR cables. Use the MONO DSP output to connect one MKVI DSP to an additional MKVI DSP subwoofer or any other sub that supports an XLR input. DUAL SUB SETUP WITH MONO SIGNAL This is a BETTER setup.
LOW LEVEL SETUP - DUAL SUBS BALANCED XLR SETUP - SINGLE SUB For a more realistic sound stage and greater theater experience, we suggest having two (2) subwoofers and running them in stereo. Using another “Y” RCA cable, connect the SUB PRE OUT 1 of the receiver to the LOW LEVEL INPUT of the right side Supernova MKVI DSP amplifier. Using a “Y” RCA cable, connect the SUB PRE OUT 1 of the receiver to the LOW LEVEL INPUT of the left side Supernova MKVI DSP amplifier.
