R12DT SUBWOOFER INTRODUCTION Port Port The Russound R12DT active subwoofer delivers the chest-thumping deep bass sound you want for a supersonic listening experience. Whether it’s the asteroids breaking apart in your favorite sci-fi movie or the in-yourface concert experience of a classic rock band performance, the R12DT keeps up its end of the deal in your home theater or audio system.
R12DT SUBWOOFER 1 2 3 4 10 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 4 Speaker Level Input: (with passthrough) Binding post terminals will accept up to 12 gauge speaker wire or banana jacks. Allows input connections to be sourced from an amplified speaker signal such as the Left and Right output from an amplifier/receiver. This amplified signal is tapped off for feeding the subwoofer but the signal is unaltered and is passed directly on to adjoining output terminals.
R12DT SUBWOOFER CONNECTION OPTIONS Method B Note: Choose Method A, Method B or Method C connection option. DO NOT combine them; choose only one. This method provides better sound quality and is preferred over Method C. The preamp (variable line level) outputs from the receiver carry the full range of audio signal frequency and the R12DT will use the active crossover to filter out the mid- and high-range frequencies, those which the subwoofer is not designed to reproduce.
R12DT SUBWOOFER Method C (Most universal installation, least desirable sonically) This connection method allows the subwoofer to be used with virtually any audio system, but its audio output is not as clean as when line in or LFE inputs are used, as in Method A or B. Receiver Connect speaker wire from the amplifier/receiver’s main Left and Right outputs to the speaker level input on the subwoofer.
