TERMINOLOGY AND CONTROLS
e
STATUS INDICATOR – The LED found on the front panel will illuminate in blue
when the subwoofer in functioning. If the unit is in Auto mode and is not
receiving a signal, the light will remain off.
r
VOLUME LEVEL – This knob can be adjusted to control the level of output
from your subwoofer. The level chosen should allow the subwoofer to blend
its output with that of the rest of your audio system.
t
LOW-PASS FILTER – This control allows for the adjustment of the low-pass
filter. Adjustments can infinitely be made from 40Hz to 150Hz (ESW-C8) or
40Hz to 120Hz (ESW-C10). This will determine the highest frequency that the
subwoofer will reproduce.
u
PHASE – This switch allows for the adjustment of the phase of the subwoofer,
in relation to the speakers used in your system, from 0 to 180 degrees.
i
POWER MODE – This switch can be set to either On, Off or Auto. If the switch
is in the Off position, the subwoofer will not power up. If the switch is in the
On position, it will constantly remain on. If the switch is set to the Auto
position, when a signal is present the subwoofer will turn on and will
automatically turn off several minutes after a signal is no longer present.
o
LINE IN/SUB IN – These inputs are an RCA type LFE/stereo/mono input. If you
are connecting your subwoofer to a pre-amp/processor with a LFE or
Subwoofer pre-amp output, connect a single RCA cable to the LFE/Left input.
If you are connecting your subwoofer to a stereo pre-amp or processor, such
as in a stereo music system, use stereo RCA cables and connect to both the
LFE/Left and Right inputs.
p
SPEAKER LEVEL IN – The Speaker Level inputs are designed to be used on
receivers or amplifiers that do not incorporate any RCA type subwoofer
outputs. If your receiver is equipped with an RCA type subwoofer output,
these speaker level inputs should not be utilized.
a
POWER CORD CONNECTOR (Excludes the 120V version of the ESW-C8).
Connect the power cord from your AC outlet to this input. Connecting your
subwoofer to a surge protector or line conditioner is always recommended.
Do not connect the power cord to the switched or unswitched outlet of your
receiver as this could damage your subwoofer and receiver.
