High Level Connection If the electronics in your system does not have Preamp Output/Power Amp Input connections, the ICS Sub 24 can be connected via the speaker wiring using the “High Level” Connections. There are two methods for making high level connections the ICS Sub 24. The 5-way binding posts on the ICS Sub 24 permit easy connection to banana plugs, spade lugs, and bare wire. If you are connecting bare wires be sure to twist the wire strands into a neat bundle. Be sure there are no loose s

Alternate High Level Connection The alternate method for making high level connections is to connect both the ICS Sub 24 and the main speakers directly to the amplifier. This type of connection does not take advantage of the high pass filter provided by the High Level Outputs of the ICS Sub 24. Consequently the main speakers will operate full range. There are two connection methods. Both methods are electrically equivalent. Which one you use will depend largely on you physical set up of your roo

CONNECTING TWO ICS Sub 24’s You may wish to use two ICS Sub 24’s, particularly if you are in a large room. Double subwoofers may be wired with either speaker-level or line-level connections. Be sure the Phase Switch is set the same on both units. To connect two ICS Sub 24’s using line- level inputs, use "Y" connectors to daisy ICS Sub 24 ICS Sub 24 chain the ”PREAMP OUT“ signal to the Amp Amp CROSSOVER LOW LEVEL IN HIGH PASS OUT CROSSOVER LOW LEVEL IN HIGH PASS OUT input of a second ICS Su

PLACEMENT Typically the ICS Sub 24 will produce the smoothest response when placed against a wall. Placement in a corner will further enhance bass output allowing you to run operate the subwoofer at a lower power level. Experiment with subwoofer placement while at the same time adjusting crossover frequency, output level, and phase. (See section on Fine-Tuning Your Subwoofer below.) Choose a musical selection with a heavy and continuous bass line. Play a short section several times until you hav

Bass Level Control The Bass Level control adjusts the volume of the ICS Sub 24 output. The Level Control should be adjusted to achieve a good main speaker-to-subwoofer balance. However there is significant interaction between the Crossover control and the Bass Level control. This interaction affects the sound in the midbass range where the transition from the main speakers to the subwoofer occurs. If you are hearing too much midbass, adjust the crossover frequency down while increasing the bass
