(5) Low-Pass Crossover Use these up and down buttons to select the high-frequency range at which you wish to cut off the signal to the subwoofer. The frequency is indicated on the LED display briefly, then the display reverts to showing the subwoofer’s volume. The slope is fixed at 24 dB/octave. To deactivate the crossover, press BOTH the up and down crossover buttons at the same time – two dashes on the display indicate the crossover is deactivated and the woofer plays all frequencies present

(9) Thru Jacks (See Figure 3A) These RCA connectors are for passing along the same signal that goes into your subwoofer to a second “daisy-chained” subwoofer. The signal from these RCA connectors is the same as the input signal. (10) Line Input / LFE Input (See Figure 3A & 3B) Connect these jacks to the LINE OUT preamp output, LFE output, or subwoofer output jacks of your receiver/processor. If using the LFE output from your receiver or processor, plug the single cable into the jack labeled

(16) Auto ON/OFF Switch Use this switch to select between auto-on active and auto-on inactive (constant on) operation. For maximum amplifier life, we recommend using the auto-on/off feature. (17) Speaker Level Output Terminals (See Figure 5) These connections send a crossed-over speaker-level signal to the front speakers. When connected in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be crossed over at 80 Hz. This removes the lower bass frequencies from your satellites, enabling them to do a

(18) Speaker Level Input Terminals (See Figure 5) Connect these input terminals to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier or receiver. If you use this method of connection, when you go to the receiver speaker set up menu, make sure you select the “large” speaker option. (19) Subwoofer Connection Terminals Connect these output terminals to the subwoofer(s) being controlled by the SC-1250. Only connect ONE subwoofer per red/black pair of subwoofer output terminals - DO NOT connect the s

You should set the crossover frequency to obtain a smooth and seamless transition from the subwoofer(s) to the main speakers in your system. If your main speakers are smaller units with limited low frequency output, you may wish to choose a higher frequency (such as 100-120 Hz) than you would with larger speakers which have greater low frequency output. With larger speakers, you might start with this control set lower, such as 80 Hz. Most receivers and processors provide an option to character

A Word About Subwoofer Placement Subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies, which are primarily omni-directional. Keep in m ind that frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced by placement, depending on the acoustic properties of the listening room. Typically, the optimum location for a subwoofer is in a front corner of your listening room. This location will usually offer the greatest output levels and optimum low frequency extension. The worst location for a subw
