Page 7: Connectivity & Panel Operations
SV Sound, LLC STA-400D Equipped Subs Connectivity & Panel Operations STA-400D Connectivity and Panel Operation The STA-400D Sledge™ amplifier in this SVS subwoofer has simple and straightforward connectivity and control options that make integrating the subwoofer into the listening environment an easy task. Even though the STA-400D uses what appears to be analog controls, all functions are actually implemented digitally in the amplifier. - Page 8 SV Sound, LLC STA-400D Equipped Subs Connectivity & Panel Operations FIG. 4 Alternatively, especially for two-channel preamps that don’t have (or don’t use) any digital management, the typical connectivity scenario would be to use both the main channel Left and Right (L/R) inputs into the STA- 400D.

Page 13: Setup, Calibration & Integration
SV Sound, LLC STA-400D Equipped Subs Setup, Calibration & Integration Before using your new subwoofer, it is important to get it set up and integrated into the rest of your audio or home theater system to ensure optimum results.
