Remote Control and Control Functionality

Power.

Puts the Reference Series 209 subwoofer into or out of standby.

Auto/Manual.

Switches the Reference Series 209 subwoofer between automatic mode or manual mode. In automatic mode the subwoofer will go into standby automatically after approximately 30 minutes of silence. It will automatically come out of standby instantly when a audio signal is applied to the inputs.

Phase.

Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer output relative to your main speakers from 0 to 180 degrees in 5 degree steps.

Polarity.

This switches the acoustic polarity of the output by 180 degrees. The phase and polarity settings apply to both the Left and Right line level inputs and the LFE line level input.

Vol.

This decreases or increases the subwoofers volume relative to the main speakers.

Slope.

Switches the Low Pass Filter slope between 12 (shallow) and 24dB per octave (steep). This should be set to allow the best integration with your main speakers.

Frequency.

Increases or decreases the internal low pass filter cut off frequency in the subwoofer between 25Hz and 150Hz so that it integrates with the main speakers.

The Frequency and Slope controls apply only to the Left and Right line level inputs and are not applicable to the LFE input where it is assumed an external surround sound processor is controlling the bass management externally.

Subwoofer/Satellite Integration : Correct

Subwoofer/Satellite Integration : Too Low.

Increase the frequency.

Subwoofer/Satellite Integration : Too High.

Reduce the frequency.

L+R EQ.

Selects the Equalisation (EQ) that is applied to the LEFT and RIGHT line level inputs. There are 7 different EQs as defined on page 22. The subwoofer will default to the standard “flat” EQ unless an alternative is selected.

LFE EQ.

Selects the EQ that is applied to the LFE line level input. There are 7 different EQs as defined on page 22. The subwoofer will default to the standard EQ until an alternative is selected. It is intentional that the LFE EQ can be set differently from the L+R EQ so that the subwoofer can be optimised for both a stereo system and a AV system without having to change any wiring.

RCL.

Increases or decreases the Room Correction Level applied to the acoustic output.

Room Correction Setup.

Starts the Room Correction Setup process for which the microphone must be connected

Select.

This enables you to confirm the room correction settings at each stage

Presets.

Allows the user to select one of 6 different general settings for the KEF Reference Series 209 subwoofer. Pressing and holding the Preset button will save all of the current settings (Volume, Polarity, Phase, Frequency, Slope, Room Correction Level and EQs) to that numbered Preset.
