METHOD 2 – SPEAKER LEVEL – FOR MUSIC APPLICATIONS

1The other way to connect your subwoofer to your receiver is using a speaker wire connection, by simply connecting the speaker wires from the Front

Left and Right Speaker Outputs on your receiver to the Left and Right

r SPEAKER LEVEL IN on rear of the subwoofer. It is imperative that speaker polarities be maintained, one must connect the positive and negative wires to the appropriate positive and negative terminals. Failure to do so will result in an out of phase connection, severely limiting the amount of bass in your system.

2After connecting the r SPEAKER LEVEL IN (speaker wire) between your receiver and subwoofer, ensure no fray wires are touching, as this could cause a short circuit and damage your electronics. Plug your ENERGY subwoofer into an AC outlet. Do not use the AC outlet on the rear of your receiver.

FINAL SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS

1After having turned on the main power switch and having broken-in the speaker, select the correct position for the a POWER MODE, either On or Auto depending on your system. The Auto selection will leave the unit in a self-sensing mode, such that should the unit sense an audio signal it will turn itself on and then shut down after several minutes without signal, while in the On position the subwoofer always remains on. Should the system not be used for an extensive period of time, it is recommended that the subwoofer be unplugged from the AC.

2Adjust the p VOLUME LEVEL of your ENERGY subwoofer so that the volume of your subwoofer matches the overall system volume. This ensures a smooth transition between the low and high frequencies of your system.

3Adjust the i LOW-PASS FILTER on your ENERGY subwoofer so that the frequency range of the subwoofer blends well with that of the front speakers. Setting the crossover too low will create a gap between the frequency response of the front speakers and that of the subwoofer, while setting the crossover frequency too high will create a doubling of certain frequencies, making the music sound boomy. When using small satellite speakers, the appropriate crossover frequency should be from 90Hz to 120Hz, for the bookshelf speakers 70Hz to 90Hz and for the large floorstanding speakers 40Hz to 70Hz.

4Adjust the o PHASE CONTROL so that the subwoofer integrates fully with the rest of your audio system. This control ensures that the subwoofer operates in phase with the rest of the system, as an out of phase subwoofer will either sound like it is lacking in bass performance or that its timing is off. This setting will be determined by your listening position, the characteristics of your listening room and its interaction with your ENERGY subwoofer. An out of phase speaker means that the speaker cone is moving inwards when it should be moving outwards, like the other speakers in your system, causing cancellations of certain frequencies. By adjusting the phase control, one can ensure that all speakers move in the proper direction, at the same time.

5Steps 2, 3 and 4 might require repeating in order to fine tune your system. Ensuring the proper blending between the speakers and the subwoofer is critical to the performance of your system, as a whole.
