Setup, calibrating and integration

What’s to know? Well, first of all, setting up an SVS Subwoofer is pretty darn easy. There are a few key things to get right if you want to get the most out of your new equipment however!

Unpacking. You’re probably eager to fire up your sub (we’re the same way), but take time to carefully unpack your sub. Set the box and other protective shipping materials aside; saving them in case you ever need to return the subwoofer for any reason. Fold your box flat for storage even.

Location. They say it’s “all about location”, right? It’s the same with setting up your subwoofer. So, where to put it? Go for a corner if you can, and avoid putting your sub where it might adjoin large open areas. Studies have shown the deepest and flattest bass response is typically attained when a subwoofer is placed within a few feet of one of your room’s corners. Whether you put the sub in front or to the rear of your seating area usually makes surprisingly little audible difference. Deep movie and music bass, like that from Dolby Digital (DD) “5.1 channel” DVDs and digital audio is largely non-directional. You can’t tell where it is coming from, even though you can hear, and feel it.

Hook-up(see fig. 1). There are a variety of ways to configure your new sub. Usually, a simple mono, shielded 75 Ohm A/V RCA type cable (a.) is used to take the subwoofer output of your DD/DTS surround sound receiver (b.) and feed the low-level input of the SVS’s amp. There is no need to “split” the signal going to the sub (c.). You can feed either one of the two amp inputs, it doesn’t matter, right or left.

NOTE: Stop now if you aren’t TOTALLY familiar with your re- ceiver’s manual. Ensure all power to your equipment is off when

making these connections. Also, be cer- tain your power outlet can handle a minimum of 700 watts. (Use of “convenience outlets” on receivers are not recommended for your SVS).
