Switching the subwoofer on/off
Automatic power-on / standby
This subwoofer is equipped with an automatic audio signal detection system. When switched to "Auto",
the subwoofer will turn on as soon as an audio signal input is detected. When switched to "On", the audio
signal detection system is disabled and the subwoofer will stay on permanently.
On the other hand, when no audio signal is detected for approximately 3 minutes, the detection system
will automatically put the subwoofer into stand-by.
If the subwoofer is going to be unused for several days or more, it is recommended to set the "POWER"
switch to "Off". In case of lightning, disconnect the power cable from the mains.
Quick set-up guide
Plug subwoofer's power cable into the mains.
1.
Connect the subwoofer to the amplifier according to one of the 3 methods mentioned previously.
2.
Set the "POWER" switch to "On".
3.
Turn the "CROSSOVER" knob to half way (to approximately 100 Hz).
4.
Turn the "VOLUME" knob to half way.
5.
Note: The "CROSSOVER" function will be disabled if the subwoofer is connected to the "LFE" input.
Fine-tuning
Adjust the bass level according to the other loudspeakers used. This fine-tuning can be carried out by
1.
listening to music which varies as much as possible. One should be able to hear the bass without it
being too overpowering.
Select the desired phase inverter (0° or 180°). The correct setting is that which you think provides the
2.
most bass while being the most well-balanced.
Fine-tune the cut-off frequency to around 100 Hz. The lower this setting, the more scale and depth the
3.
bass will have. The higher this setting, the punchier the sound will be. The correct setting is that which
best provides all these characteristics.
Adjust the volume if necessary.
4.
Fine-tuning should be carried out each time you change the position of the subwoofer.
5.
choosing the right cables
When your subwoofer is connected to an amplifier via the stereo line inputs or LFE input, use a shielded
RCA/RCA cable of adequate length. In case of doubt, your dealer will be able to advise you on the solution
which is best adapted to your needs.
