Configuring Your Speaker System
Before you start plugging in cables, you should take a minute to decide how you want to interface your new sub-
woofer. There are several ways you can interface the RS15S and RS18S, however most systems set-ups fall into
two categories, Stereo or Mono (Common) sub operation.
Common Sub Operation
In most cases a common sub,
with mono system operation is
desired. This is true for several
reasons, but mostly because
low frequencies produced
by a subwoofer tend to be
non-directional. Since low fre-
quency waves take so much
space to actually develop,
you can't tell if the sub bass
is coming from the left or right
side, unless of course you're
in a very large room. Because
of this phenomena, just about
all sub bass material is mixed
in mono.
Stereo Sub Operation
In larger rooms, as well as
in theatres and theme park
installations (for low frequen-
cy special audio effects), two
RS15S and RS18S's can be
used in stereo.
