WARNING The unit uses dangerous mains
voltage . Leave servicing to skilled
personnel only; inexpert handling
may result in electric shock .
•
The unit is suitable for indoor use only . Pro-
tect it against dripping water and splash water,
high air humidity and heat (admissible ambient
temperature range: 0 – 40 °C) .
•
Do not place any vessel filled with liquid on
the unit, e . g . a drinking glass .
•
The heat generated inside the unit during
operation is dissipated by air circulation at the
cooling fins (16) . Never cover the cooling fins
and keep a sufficient distance, e . g . to walls .
•
Do not operate the unit or immediately discon-
nect the mains plug from the socket
1 . if the unit or the mains cable is visibly dam-
aged,
2 . if a defect might have occurred after the unit

3 Applications
The PSUB-12AKA and PSUB-15AKA are powerful
active subwoofer systems in rugged wooden cab-
inets . They are equipped with an integrated ste-
reo power amplifier, two mixable input channels
and tone controls . This makes it easy to set up a
compact sound system: Only two speaker systems
for mid-high range reproduction are additionally
required (e . g . PAB-306 or PAB-308) .
The subwoofer systems feature a crossover
network with adjustable crossover frequency
(80 –250 Hz) to distribute the signal to the sub-
.
woofer and the stereo speakers connected .
The amplifiers are protected with a limiter
against overload and with protective circuits
against short circuit and overheating .
The stand sleeve on the upper side of the
subwoofer offers a mounting facility for a spe-
aker system .
4 Setting Up
Set up the subwoofer on solid ground . When
using a single subwoofer, it is not essential to
place it exactly in the middle between the ste-
reo speakers as you will not be able to precisely
locate the very low frequencies reproduced by
the subwoofer . However, do not place it too close
to walls or in corners; this would distort the fre-
quency response and prevent heat dissipation of
the integrated amplifier .
It is possible to install another speaker system
on top of the subwoofer system: Insert an adapter
with a tube diameter of 35 mm (e . g . from the
PAST series) into the stand sleeve on the upper
side of the subwoofer, then fasten a speaker sys-
tem equipped with a stand sleeve on its lower side
on top of the subwoofer system .
5 Connecting
Prior to making or changing any connections,
switch off the subwoofer system and the units
to be connected .
5.1 Connecting a signal source
Connect a signal source with line level (e . g . CD
player, output of a mixer) to the RCA jacks LINE
INPUT (13) . The inputs are designed for stereo sig-
nals (R = right channel, L = left channel) . The two
stereo channels of the signal source are internally
combined to a mono signal for the subwoofer .
If a signal source with balanced output signal
is available (e . g . output of a mixer), connect this
source to the XLR inputs (10) . The configuration
of the jack is shown in figure 2 (page 11) .
The RCA inputs and the XLR inputs cannot
be used at the same time!
To connect a microphone, use the 6 .3 mm
jack MIC INPUT (15) . The jack is unbalanced . The
configuration of the plug is shown in figure 3 .
To connect microphones with balanced output
signal, use an adapter .
