Subsonic - 15Hz(THX)/35Hz

This adjustment alters the low frequency limit of the subwoofer. For most systems we recommend the 15Hz setting which will allow the subwoofer to deliver the maximumlowbassoutputitwasdesignedfor.Incertainmovietheaterinstallations whichsuggestthattheextremelowbassbelimited,movetheswitchpositionto35Hz and the response will be attenuated below this frequency.

For all other installations which do not have a separate electronic crossover we recommend you leave the internal crossover IN to provide optimum performance.
