RIGHT/LEFT OUT - This XLR output should be connected to the right/ left input of the active satellite speaker. These outputs are not bandwidth limited and are designed to be used with the SAT 5 or other monitor that has an 80Hz internal high pass filter network. Refer to the wiring table in bullet point 1 for wiring custom cables and connectors. SUB IN - This XLR input should be connected to either the subwoofer output of an external bass-management controller or the daisy-chain output (SUB OUT) of another Blue Sky Active Subwoofer. This input is fullbandwidth (up to approximately 200Hz) and does not use a low pass filter. Refer to the wiring table in bullet point 1 for wiring custom cables and connectors. This should be connected to the SUB IN of an additional Blue Sky SUB 8. SUB GAIN CONTROL & POWER LED - This knob controls the input sensitivity of the subwoofer amplifier only. When set to the reference position, a 100mv signal at the input equals 90dB of output at one meter. FUNCTIONAL VOLUME CONTROL (FVC) RJ-11 Connector Jack - This standard six conductor RJ-11 jack is used to connect the subwoofer to the optional FVC. For more information on the FVC, please turn to page 15 "The Functional Volume Control". POWER SWITCH - This switch controls the power to the subwoofer amplifier and all internal electronics. For products purchased in countries outside North America, please see the FUSE and POWER addendum included with this product.
