TERMINOLOGY AND CONTROLS

eSTATUS INDICATOR – The LED found on the front panel will illuminate in blue when the subwoofer is functioning. If the unit is in Auto mode and is not receiving a signal, the light will remain off.

rSPEAKER LEVEL IN – The Speaker Level inputs are designed to be used on receivers or amplifiers that do not incorporate any RCA type subwoofer outputs. If your receiver is equipped with an RCA type subwoofer output, these speaker level inputs should not be utilized.

tLINE IN/SUB IN – These inputs are an RCA type LFE/stereo/mono input. If you are connecting your subwoofer to a pre-amp/processor with a LFE or Subwoofer pre-amp output, connect a single RCA cable to the LFE/Left input.

uCROSSOVER MODE – This switch allows for the selection of either crossover Activated or Crossover Bypassed. (Please see the connections section for suggestions on which mode is appropriate for your installation.)

iLOW-PASS FILTER – This control allows for the adjustment of the low-pass filter. Adjustments can infinitely be made from 40Hz to 120Hz. This will determine the highest frequency that the subwoofer will reproduce.

oPHASE – This switch allows for the adjustment of the phase of the subwoofer, in relation to the speakers used in your system, from -180 to +180 degrees.

pVOLUME LEVEL – This knob can be adjusted to control the level of output from your subwoofer. The level chosen should allow the subwoofer to blend its output with that of the rest of your audio system.

aPOWER MODE – This switch can be set to either On, Off or Auto. If the switch is in the Off position, the subwoofer will not power up. If the switch is in the On position, it will constantly remain on. If the switch is set to the Auto position, when a signal is present the subwoofer will turn on and will automatically turn off several minutes after a signal is no longer present.

sPOWER CORD CONNECTOR – Connect the power cord from your AC outlet to this input. Connecting your subwoofer to a surge protector or line conditioner is always recommended. Do not connect the power cord to the switched or unswitched outlet of your receiver as this could damage your subwoofer and receiver.

CONNECTING YOUR ENERGY SUBWOOFER

CAUTION: All power should be turned off to your system before any connections are made. Careful attention should be taken to ensure that all electronic components are not connected to an AC source. Not doing so could result in potential damage to the system.

METHOD 1 – RCA – SUB IN FOR HOME THEATER OR LFE APPLICATIONS

1On the rear of the receiver/pre-amp there should be a single RCA type jack

marked “Subwoofer/Pre-Amp Out”. Connect a single RCA cable from that jack to the t LINE IN/SUB IN on the rear of the subwoofer. A standard male to male RCA cable is needed.

2After connecting the single t LINE IN/SUB IN connection, plug your ENERGY subwoofer into an AC outlet. Do not use the AC outlet on the rear of your receiver. After plugging in the unit, switch the Main Power to On.

3Select either the Crossover Mode Active or Bypass u. The Crossover Mode Active switch position should be used when connecting your ENERGY subwoofer to a receiver without bass management or when you wish to manually control the crossover and volume settings (such as in a music system). The Crossover Bypass switch position should be used when connecting to a receiver with bass management (such as in a digital surround sound movie system). This connection defeats the crossover feature on the

ENERGY subwoofer, allowing this control to be handled by the receiver. Adjusting the front panel Volume Control p will still be required.
