These outputs are directly linked to the high level inputs (in parallel). They enable the entire power
modulation (without filtering) to be sent to a second SUB HORIZON for example.
Switching on :
Switch on the SUB HORIZON as follows :
- Connect to the mains 1 (after checking that your mains voltage corresponds to that of the
equipment).
- Move the on/of switch ↑ to « AUTO »
Note: it is recommended to switch off the SUB HORIZON when not in use.
Positioning :
For best results, it is strongly recommended to position the caisson carefully in the room. Low
frequencies are, in fact, relatively long waves, which are difficult to master in the domestic environment.
Different positions in the same room may lead to completely different results in terms of efficacy.
As a general rule, the best results are obtained by placing the caisson between the 2 speakers.
However, experience has shown that this is not always the case, depending on the dimensions and the
characteristics of the room. In addition, it is not always possible, for practical reasons, to position the
caisson ideally.
For all these reasons, we recommend you try different positions in your room, by always placing
yourself in the final listening zone. In principle, the closer the caisson to one of the two main speakers
and aligned in the same plane, the greater the efficacy.
Settings :
Frequency accords can be set using the « LOW PASS » potentiometer ⊕ . This enables the SUB
HORIZON to be accorded to your main speakers. The frequency should be set within the range
between 60Hz and 160Hz. This latitude is wide enough to enable the SUB HORIZON to be connected
to most speakers on the market. If your main speakers are able to reproduce very low frequencies, test
initially by positioning the setting potentiometer to 60Hz. If you use small speakers, with limited
reproduction of low frequencies, start testing with the potentiometer set to 110Hz or 160Hz.
The ideal setting is one which realistically reproduces low frequencies and is harmonised as much as
possible with your main speakers. You should not be able to « feel » the caisson, bass should sound
as though it is coming from the main speakers.
It may useful to use the phase inverter switch ⊗ to get the best results. This switch inverses the phase
of the acoustic signals emitted by the SUB HORIZON. Depending on the position of the caisson in the
room in relation to the main speakers, inverting the phase of the caisson may help to improve
coherence in the system's overall response to low frequencies.
We recommend you make several attempts to find the setting which you prefer. Use a disk that you
know well and study the result depending on your tastes and expectations.
