Multi-Channel/LFE Mode

This setup is recommended if your CW10 will be used in

adedicated home theater or multi-channel system. When

asignal is connected to the subwoofer’s LFE input, and the crossover switch is set to 'Bypass (LFE In)' the internal low pass filter is not active. By following this setup, you will allow your processor to handle most of the bass management.

If you will be using your system for both 2-channel and multi-channel listening we recommend using this setup and connection method. Some modern receivers and processors allow users to route left and right channel low-frequency information, in addition to discrete LFE infor- mation, through the LFE output.

Signal .Connection .(see .figure .4):

1Connect the LFE output of the processor to the LFE input using a quality RCA interconnect.

WARNING!

Based on the performance of most proces- sors, it is recommended that MartinLogan center and effects type speakers (i.e. Motif, Matinee, Stage, etc.) not be run in large, wide, or full range mode. Doing so may potentially damage the speaker if the proces- sor attempts to drive the speaker beyond its rated frequency range. This warning also applies to products from other manufacturers.

It is recommended to run center and effects type speakers in limited or narrow mode. Some processors have an option to route the LFE channel to your main and/or surround speakers. We recommend that you do not use this option.

Recommended .Control .Settings .(see .figure .5):

1 Set the crossover switch to 'Bypass (LFE In)'.

2Use the bass management section of your processor‘s speaker level setup option to set the subwoofer level at an appropriate level. Follow the instructions in your processor manual to fine-tune the subwoofer level.

3If your processor offers the option to setup crossovers for a subwoofer, we recommend that you start with the following settings—Crossover: 70Hz, High-Pass: 12dB, and Low-

Pass: 24dB. The optimal setting for these options may vary depending on your room and listening preferences.

4Adjust the phase control until ideal blending is obtained. If you hear no discernible difference leave the phase at 0°.

5Follow the instructions in your processor manual to fine- tune the subwoofer level
