Newbie subwoofer connection problem/query.
Hello all,
I have aquired some low (ish) end audio equipment seperates on my very tight budget, and am having a problem with connection of my subwoofer to my amplifier. first off i'll list the models of the items concerned : marantz pm-32 integrated hi-fi power amp circa 1992, eltax thunder 10 subwoofer circa 2002 which is downward firing but im not sure if its meant for hi-fi or surround theatre system. The problem is that the amp has no "sub out" socket on the back, so as a newbie it isnt clear to me as to how/if this model sub can be used with a hi-fi amp. at the moment i have bi-wired my floorstading eltax symphony speakers into the amp but even then had to piggyback the banana plugs as the amp only has outputs for one pair of speakers. The other sockets on the amp a "aux" in, "tuner" in, "c-d" in, "phono" in, "dcc" in+out, "tape" in +out and a strange looking "gnd" screw type single socket. i have no manuals for these items as i bought second hand and have had no luck on marantz website as the amp is so old. (in lovely working condition tho) The connections on the back of the sub are : "high level out" left and right, "high level in" left and right and "line input" which looks like a single interconnect lead type socket. The only other switches on the sub are a "phase 0-180" switch??? , a "low pass frequency" knob??? and the "power on/off" switch. Sorry for waffling on for so long!! any help with the limited info i have given would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! (and if anyone can tell me what "DCC" and "GND" mean i would be grateful.) |
