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. 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
Frequency Control
Bass Control
Phase Control
Mode Switch
12v Trigger (optional)
Input
Never connect or disconnect the RCA input/ output leads with the subwoofer switched on.
SetUp
Once the input cables are connected and the 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. 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.
