MartinLogan Descent [9/20] Using multiple descents

Your Descent has the ability to create a chain of Descent

subwoofers controlled by one master. When in this config-

uration, only the controls on the master Descent need to be

adjusted. All Descent subwoofers further down the chain

will be automatically controlled by the settings of the mas-

ter subwoofer.

Signal Connection (see figure 8):

1 Connect the master Descent to your system using one

of the three modes previously described.

2 Connect the Sub Out of the Descent to the LFE input of

the next Descent using a quality RCA interconnect.

3 Repeat the last step for each additional Descent subwoofer

in the chain.

Recommended Control Settings (see figure 9):

1 Adjust the control settings of the first subwoofer using the

recommended control settings from the connection

method used to connect the master Descent with your

audio system.

2 For all other Descents in the chain, set each level all the

way clockwise (Max), set each phase switch to 0° and

set each 25Hz level control knob vertically to 0dB.

Regardless of how you use your subwoofer, experimenta-

tion can often result in better sound. Don't be afraid to try

different settings. You can always return the controls to

their previous locations.
