6.1 / 5.1 Balanced Output Connections
For use in a 6.1 or 6.0 audio setup, refer to the diagram below. We recommend the 6th speaker be
connected to the surround back left channel of the surround preamplifier. However, either the back left or
back right output will operate correctly when the system is configured for use with one back speaker. The
point one (.1) indicates whether or not the system will use a subwoofer. If a subwoofer is used, The
Reference 51 Series2 has two subwoofer outputs, one balanced (XLR) Subwoofer out and one coaxial (RCA)
Subwoofer out, either output may be used. Connect the subwoofer cable from the subwoofer output to the
subwoofer. The diagram below illustrates a connection using a balanced cable to connect to the subwoofer.
A 5.1 or 5.0 speaker setup will not use the 6th or 7th surround back channel(s). To use the Reference 51
Series2 in a 5.1 or 5.0 audio setup, only connect five channels using the surround speaker channels. Do not
use the surround back left or surround back right for a 5.1 setup. The speaker setup menu will then used to
configure the internal software for proper audio selection and operation (see page 25).
