How do you hook up a subwoofer cable?

How do you hook up a subwoofer cable?

Using a subwoofer cable (RCA cable), connect the subwoofer to the AV receiver by running the cable from the receiver’s subwoofer output to the subwoofer’s line input. Klipsch subwoofers can be connected via the LFE channel, the white RCA connection, or in a stereo pair by using both the white and red RCA connections.

How do you hook up a subwoofer with RCA cables?

If the subwoofer’s LINE IN uses RCA cables and the subwoofer out on the receiver/amplifier also uses RCA, plug it in using an RCA cable. If the cable is split on one end (a y-cable for both right and left channels), plug it in the R and L ports on the subwoofer.

How do I connect my subwoofer to my speakers?

Plug the Y-adapter into your computer’s audio output, then connect one leg of the Y-adapter to your computer speakers using a 3.5 mm cable like this one (most computer speakers include this cable), and connect the other leg of the Y-adapter to the subwoofer’s line inputs using a 3.5-mm–to–RCA cable like this one.

Why does my subwoofer have left and right inputs?

These low-frequency audio waves, which are transmitted to the subwoofer, are recorded in stereo sound. This means there is both a left and right channel, even though the sound plays through a single channel speaker.

Is a subwoofer cable coax?

Subwoofer Cables They are used for the purpose of connecting any media device that supports coaxial (S/PDIF) audio interface. Subwoofer cables contain RCA connectors on both ends. Subwoofer cables produce a deep, intense sound and the quality is far superior to that of typical RCA sound.

What type of cable does a subwoofer use?

mono analogue audio cable
A subwoofer cable is typically a mono analogue audio cable with a strong shielding, as it is most often routed for long distances and with other cables and cannot be too sensitive to low-frequency noise.

Do I need special cable for subwoofer?

Regardless of what type of connection is available, be it RCA or direct wired, it is highly recommended to use shielded, heavy gauge cabling specifically designed for subwoofers. Such cables provide a cleaner, more noise-free audio signal.

Can I use a single RCA cable for subwoofer?

Any single, standard RCA or subwoofer cable should do just fine. However, if the sub is exhibiting a hum with the RCA/sub cable plugged into it, then maybe try using a “shielded” subwoofer cable. One end of the subwoofer/RCA cable will be plugged into the Subwoofer Output on the back of your receiver.

Does a subwoofer need both RCA cables?

In order to hook up a powered subwoofer properly, an RCA “splitter” cable (“Y” cable) is not needed. Any single, standard RCA or subwoofer cable should do just fine.

Why does a subwoofer have a left and right input?

Think of it like using a Y splitter to separate two different paths, but the opposite way around. This is done within the receiver. With the left and right signals now combined into a single channel, the appropriate sound can be directed to the subwoofer.
