6) Repeat steps 4 & 5 for the right ProMonitor 60.7) Set the low frequency filter control on the back of the subwoofer to approximate-ly 10–12 o’clock. Please note that the exact frequency will depend on many fac-tors including specific positions of the speakers in the room, so you might exper-iment with a slightly higher or lower setting to achieve ideal blending betweenthe sub and the satellites for your particular set-up. Listen to a wide variety ofmusic to determine the correct setting for this in your system.8) Set the subwoofer level control to approximately 12 o’clock. Please note that theexact level depends on many factors including your room size, positions of thespeakers, etc. as well as your personal listening taste, so you might experimentwith the subwoofer level while listening to a wide variety of music until youachieve the ideal setting for your system.9) Wire your center channel to the center channel out on your receiver (or centerchannel amplifier) and your left and right rear surround speakers to the rear chan-nel outputs on your receiver or rear channel amplifier (taking care that all speak-ers are in phase, i.e. + (red) to + (red) and – (black) to – (black).10) Set the bass management system of your receiver or decoder for “Large Leftand Right Main Speakers,” “Small Center” and “Small Rear SurroundSpeakers” and “No Subwoofer.” All the bass information including the .1channel LFE signal will be directed to the main left and right channels and intothe subwoofer giving you all the benefits of Dolby Digital.Option for Method 1 Hook-UpAn option on this hook-up (if your decoder will allow you to select “Large Left andRight Main Speakers” and a “Subwoofer”), in addition to the hook-up as describedabove, is to use an RCA-to-RCA low level cable to connect the LFE/sub-out on yourreceiver to the low-level LFE/sub-in (the lower RCA input) on a ProSub. Tell yourbass management system that you have “Large Left and Right Main Speakers” and a“Subwoofer” and “Small Center” and “Small Surrounds.” You will then be able toraise the LFE .1 channel level being fed to the subwoofer by either using the LFE/subremote level adjustment on your decoder (if it has one) or the LFE .1 channel levelcontrol on your Dolby Digital channel balancing procedure. This set-up has the advan-tage of allowing you to set the low frequency level on the ProSub for smooth balancewith music while also allowing you to “juice up the bass” for movies with the controlson your decoder. It should also sound somewhat better.Variation on the Method 1 Optional Hook-upOne variation on the optional hook-up is to hook up and adjust the system asdescribed under “Optional Hook-Up” except select “Small Left and Right MainSpeakers” and a “Subwoofer” on the bass management system (along with “SmallCenter” and “Small Rear Surrounds”). The advantage of this over the Optional Hook-Up will be somewhat greater dynamic range (i.e., you can play the system louder).However, depending on the specific characteristics of the crossovers designed intoyour bass management system, the transition and blending between the satellites andsubwoofer may not be quite as smooth and continuous as the Optional Hook-Up, or4
