Connecting a SVS SB12-NSD Subwoofer to Emotiva DC-1

[Chris Chang]

Hello All,

I've done some searching and haven't reached a definitive answer/solution.

Just picked up a SVS SB12-NSD sub and I want to connect it to my DC-1?

According to some search results, an RCA Y cable can be used, or according to Emotiva tech support a pair of RCA cables can be used.

What is the best way to connect my sub without worrying about issues and/or damaging my equipment?

I've attached a pic of the back of the sub for reference.

Thanks!

Unbalanced output to RCA’s input on the Subwoofer.

The easiest way is to use a pair of rca 'y' cables. If you have lots of room on the back of the DC1 you could use a pair of adapters. I've found them to be more in the way than useful with most of the AVR's and processors I've had over the years.

Stereo is summed to mono below about 80hz. Set crossover below that and use a single cable to the left input. Unless you are in a HUGE space, you can't tell direction, anyway, at the lowest frequencies.

Darn thing doesn't have Speaker level inputs!
