LINEAR 7 1.1
5 Example Systems
5.1 Setting Up a 2.1 Stereo System
With the benefi t of the L7 118 Sub A's onboard
stereo preamp, you can easily set up a 2.1 system
routing both the left and right channels into the
L7 118 Sub A and then forwarding their signals to
the mid/high units via its two Thru ports. The L7
110 XA's wide throw patterns are perfect for this
application.
