Complete Home Theater Systems
We strongly suggest that you use a matching GoldenEar Technology center channel and rear/surround
speakers to complete your GoldenEar home theater system. Triton speakers can be used as rear or side
surround speakers, with exceptional results for both music and movies.
Using Your Triton Speaker with an Additional Subwoofer
Although the built-in subwoofers in your Triton speakers deliver superb low frequency response and are all that are
required for amazing performance, bass is sort of like horsepower and some listeners (and some very large rooms)
may demand even more output and want to add additional powered subwoofers to the system. If you choose to
do so, we strongly suggest using one or more of the larger GoldenEar SuperSub™ subwoofers in order to achieve
perfect matching and the highest level of performance and quality possible. This should be connected with
an additional RCA low-level cable connected to the LFE output of your receiver or processor. (Your receiver or
processor’s bass management system may have multiple setup options for integrating the subwoofer into your
system — consult your receiver/processor’s manual and your GoldenEar dealer to select your best setup options.)
Typical hook would be only the additional outboard sub(s) connected to the LFE channel of your receiver/
processor, still setting as Left and Right Main = LARGE and Sub = YES, thus directing all LFE bass (only), only to the
outboard sub(s). Another interesting option is to run the receiver’s/processor’s LFE-out into both the Triton Towers
as well as your additional subwoofer(s), splitting the LFE-out(s) as necessary to achieve three (or more). This will
give you, in effect, 3 (or more) LFE subwoofers, which can be quite impactful, as well as giving you smoother LFE
coverage throughout your room. To get the LFE level balanced properly between your additional subwoofer and
the Tritons, the key is to take full advantage of your additional subwoofer’s capabilities while keeping the LFE level
being sent to the Tritons appropriate. Normally, you would have the additional subwoofer(s) playing louder than
the Tritons on an LFE signal, using the additional sub’s level control(s) to achieve this.
