RPM1470: How To Set Up A Powered Subwoofer

Introduction

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to connect a powered subwoofer to the Rockville RPM1470 Mixer. By adding a subwoofer, you can enhance your sound setup with deeper bass. You can also use these same steps to connect powered speakers for use as monitors or stage speakers.

What You Need

• Rockville RPM1470 Mixer
• Powered Subwoofer
• XLR Cables (1 or 2, depending on setup)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Connecting a Single Subwoofer

1. Take an XLR cable and plug the male end into the left main output on the RPM1470 mixer.
2. Connect the other end (female) of the XLR cable into the left XLR input on your powered subwoofer.

2. Connecting Two Subwoofers

If you want to use two subwoofers, follow these steps:

1. Use a second XLR cable and plug it into the right main output of the mixer.
2. Connect the other end into the left XLR input on the second subwoofer.

3. Adjusting the Mixer and Subwoofer

1. Raise the main left and right faders on the mixer.
2. Adjust the low-pass filter and volume on the subwoofer to your preference.
3. Play some music through the mixer and fine-tune the settings as needed.

Connecting Powered Speakers

You can follow the same steps to connect powered speakers instead of a subwoofer. This is useful if you want to use them as stage monitors or additional speakers in your setup.

Conclusion

Now you have successfully connected your powered subwoofer to the Rockville RPM1470 Mixer. This setup enhances your sound system by adding deeper bass and more power. If you need additional speakers, just follow the same steps.
