Thiel Audio Products SS3, SS4, SW1 manual Thiel

Feet

The SS2 and SS3 are supplied with four pointed, screw-in feet that can be used to provide firmer coupling to the floor for slightly better sound quality and to prevent the unit from moving during use. Please be advised that their use can put dents in hardwood floors. They are screwed into the bottom of the unit, and should be individually adjusted until the unit is firmly seated onto the floor without rocking. Then tighten each of the back-nuts to lock the feet in place.

The SS4 has four large castors and four large stabilizer feet built into the bottom of its cabinet. The unit is supplied with the stabilizers screwed into the bottom so that the unit can be rolled to its desired location. If desired, the stabilizers can be screwed down beyond the point where they are touching the floor in order to lift the SS4 off of its wheels and allow the weight to be connected through the stabilizers to the floor. This will prevent the unit from moving on its wheels. The stabilizers should be adjusted individually so that the unit does not rock and sits firmly.

It will flash in various colors and patterns when heat or line voltage is a problem.

This button decreases the active setting.

Connect an input cable to this connector if the subwoofer is being used for the processor’s subwoofer output.

If the LFE input is used, this connector can connect to an additional subwoofer.

Connect an input cable to this connector if the subwoofer is being driven by a crossover or Integrator.

If the Normal input is used, then this connector can be used to connect to an additional subwoofer.

DC voltage (5-25 volts) to this jack will turn the amplifier on if the auto/on switch is set to auto. Removing the voltage turns the amp off.

Setting this switch to On turns the amplifier on (after a 3 second start-up delay) provided that the main power switch is on. The Auto position allows the amplifier to automatically turn on when it detects an input or a trigger.
