GLOSSARY
The following list of terms with their denitions is offered as a help in understanding the set-up and operation
of your subwoofer.
Crossover(xover) - a type of lter circuit that allows low frequencies to pass, while reducing the level of high
frequencies with the transition from low to high occurring at the crossover frequency. The rate of reduction
is called the attenuation rate or slope and is measured in decibels (dB) over a change in frequency of one
octave which is a doubling or halving of frequency.
Impedance - the resistance to the ow of current in an alternating current circuit (such as with music). Line
level circuits are typically a high impedance of several thousand ohms, while speaker level circuits are
usually a low impedance of a few ohms.
LineLevel - the type of signal produced at the outputs of preampliers, tape decks, CD players, etc., with a
typical value of a volt or less in a high impedance circuit. Sometimes called low level signals, they are routed
using shielded cables which are usually terminated with RCA phono connectors.
SpeakerLevel- the type of signal produced at the outputs of power ampliers that may be many volts in a
low impedance circuit. Sometimes called high level signals, they are routed using two conductor unshielded
wire of 18 gauge or larger. Connections are usually made with stripped ends of wire gripped in spring loaded
terminals..
