AC Power Connection
Connect the subwoofer power cord to the subwoofer amplifier and directly into an AC outlet.
Convenience outlets located on the rear panel of some AV receivers or pre/pros are NOT recom-
mended for your PB16-Ultra as these outlets are not meant for high power devices.
Line Level Connection – Single LFE Channel
The most common way to connect your PB16-Ultra is with a single RCA or XLR interconnect cable
going from the LFE or SUB1 Output on your AV receiver or preamplifier to the LFE Input on your
PB16-Ultra. This allows your processor to perform the upstream bass management and send the
subwoofer a pre-filtered mono signal.

Line Level Connection – Stereo Receiver or Preamplifier Left/Right Channels
Both Left and Right inputs on your PB16-Ultra can be used in a two-channel stereo application
with a stereo preamplifier that has Left and Right line level or Balanced (XLR) outputs.
Connect the left and right outputs of your preamplifier to the left and right line level inputs of the
PB16-Ultra using RCA or XLR interconnects.
