subwoofer amps use the most durable and accurate designs possible. Get familiar with yours!
Volume/Gain Use “gain” (in conjunction with your Audio Video Receiver (AVR) subwoofer output level control) to achieve bass level calibration to your liking. Start your setup with the sub’s volume/gain no more than 1/4 to 1/3 of the way up (turned clockwise from the left).
Phase. Think of long bass waves as conflicting or enhancing each other, depending on the timing of their arrival at your listening location (either together, or not). Set phase to zero if your AVR offers settings for the distance from your seat to your subwoofer. Adjust in small steps for smooth sound with music playing if your AVR lacks a subwoofer distance setting.
Line In/Out. Use the sub’s “Line In” jack (RCA) to connect the subwoofer to the output jack of your AVR. A simple RCA signal cable is all you need for either type configuration. .
Sometimes, with very low listening levels, your subwoofer might not get enough of a bass signal from your AVR to “trip” the
Power. This
Fuse. User replaceable, contact your dealer if you have trouble finding one. The fuse can be accessed by a small door immediately next to the power cord fitting (where you should also find a spare one for your use).
