(7) Auto ON/OFF

When the main “POWER” ON/OFF switch is in the “OFF” position, this switch has no affect on the subwoofer. When the main “POWER ON/OFF” switch is in the “ON” position, this switch allows the auto circuit to be engaged. When this switch is in the “AUTO” position, the subwoofer will automatically turn “on” when it senses a signal. It will automatically turn “off” after 20 minutes with no signal. When this switch is in the “ON” position, the subwoofer will remain “on” as long as the “POWER” ON/OFF switch is in the “ON” position.

(8) High Level Inputs

Under normal conditions, the preferred connection is through the Line Level inputs. If this is difficult or not possible in your system, then you can use the Speaker Level inputs. Also, if you experience excessive noise or hum with the Line Level input, often a simple change to the Speaker Level input will result in a lower background noise level.

Connect the Speaker Level inputs to the speaker-level outputs of your amplifier or receiver using speaker wire. The binding posts can accept bare wire connections only.

(9) High Level Outputs

High Level: Connecting the Subwoofer using the high

level speaker connections: On the rear of your MiniMe Subwoofer are two pairs of red and black binding posts. One set is marked “Input” and one set is marked “Output”, with each pair designated as left or right. Each post is color-coded black/red. These terminals will accept up to 16-gauge quality speaker wire. The Inputs should be connected to the left and right speaker terminals of your amplifier or receiver. The Outputs should run from the subwoofer to the left and right satellite speakers. Remember: Always connect red-to-red and black-to-black, when making connections between an amplifier/receiver to the subwoofer. If you inadvertently reverse one of the connections (i.e., red-to-black), you will notice a lack of bass from your subwoofer.

(10) Manual ON/OFF Switch

In the “ON” position, the subwoofer will remain “on” constantly or can turn “on” and “off” automatically when the “AUTO/ON” circuit is engaged. In the “OFF” position, the subwoofer will remain off until the switch is manually turned back to the “ON” position.

(11) 110-120V AC Power Connection

The Earthquake MiniMe is equipped with a built in standard, two-prong power connection.

(12) Line Fuse

The subwoofer is supplied with a conservative, slow- blow type fuse to protect the electronics.

Always unplug the power cord before inspecting or changing the fuse. Never use a fuse with a larger current rating than recommended.
