Positioning/InitialSetUp

Leave the subwoofer unplugged from the mains until the installation procedure is completed.
The subwoofer should be sited in the most suitable position, preferably not directly in the corner of a room as this may cause
excessive bass boom. The optimum position is next to either of the front left or right speakers. Once a desirable position is
achieved it is important to check if the cables are long enough to reach comfortably without being under tension. The optimal
control settings will depend entirely on system configuration, room environment and personal tastes. However, for initial trials
set the controls as follows:
Volume Control
Crossover Control
Preset
Phase Control
EQ Preset
12v Trigger (optional)
Input
Never connect or disconnect the RCA input/ output leads with the subwoofer switched on.

SetUp

With the input cable(s) connected and controls are set in accordance with the initial set-up procedure above, the subwoofer can be
connected to the mains power supply and switched on at the mains power switch.
Do not play any music or movies at this stage as the auto set up of the AV amp (if using one) will need to be run. If your amp has
an auto set up procedure, run this now. If you do not have an auto set up or are using a stereo amp connected to the left and right
inputs, set the crossover in accordance with your main speakers.
When the auto set up is complete, check that the subwoofer settings on the AV amp are correct. The level should be no more/ less
than +/- 3dB and the crossover frequency for the LFE to be around 60-80hz and roughly in accordance with the table below for the
other speakers as well. If not we would suggest adjusting accordingly.
Now play a variety of familiar music/film excerpts and adjust the level of the subwoofer until you are happy it integrates with the
rest of the system. The volume of the amp can then be adjusted to an average listening level. Once sure everything is working
correctly, double check the subwoofer level settings.
NOTE: It might be necessary to adjust the speaker/ subwoofer settings manually if they are not to your tastes or
recommendations in the speaker/ subwoofer manuals.
