Continuing in our series of videos about subwoofer setup, Axiom Engineer Andrew Welker gives us an idea of what you need to know about subwoofer connections. It can be confusing – XLR, Line Level, RCA . . . what’s the right one to use?
Andrew Welker: Today we’re going to talk a little bit about connecting a subwoofer to a receiver. Connecting a subwoofer is not very difficult, particularly as most home theater receivers now have dedicated Subwoofer Outputs on them. The first thing that I want to mention is that before you make any connections it’s a good idea to make sure that the power is off to the receiver and the subwoofer. You’re not necessarily going to damage anything, but it can cause some startling bangs and noises if things are not right.
