Diagram One 6. Controls and System Setup
The Aegis Neo Subwoofer requires connection both to mains power and an
appropriate audio signal. The connection sockets are located on the back panel
illustrated opposite in Diagram Two. Leave the subwoofer switched-off at the
mains until all connections are made and ensure that the Volume Level control,
also located on the back panel, is turned fully anti-clockwise. Connecting your
Aegis Neo Subwoofer to an audio signal is a simple process, however, there are
some choices to be made concerning connection mode.
Signal Input Connections
Aegis Neo Subwoofer is fitted with an unfiltered mono AV Subwoofer Line Input
and a standard stereo pair of filtered Line Inputs.
The AV Subwoofer Line Input is intended for connection to an audio-visual
processor LFE (low frequency effects) output. As the LFE output of audio-visual
processors is already low-pass filtered, the subwoofer’s crossover filter is bypassed
by the AV Subwoofer Line Input. The Crossover Frequency control has no effect on
signals connected to the AV Subwoofer Line Input.
The stereo Line Inputs are intended for connection to preamplifier or other similar
line outputs. The left and right inputs are combined to mono within the subwoofer.
Connect to the input sockets using an appropriate RCA Phono connection cable.
Ensure that the cable is of good quality.
Signal Output Connections
RCA Phono Line Level signal output sockets are fitted to the Aegis Neo Subwoofer.
They carry an output signal identical to the input signal and may be used to
transfer the signal back to a power amplifier or to connect multiple subwoofers.
Mains Connection
After checking that the mains voltage specified on
the subwoofer rear panel is set correctly, connect
the subwoofer via its IEC mains input to a mains wall
socket. Use only the mains cable supplied with the
subwoofer.
