FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I place objects on my subwoofer?

We do not recommend placing any items on the subwoofer cabinet as they may vibrate, causing undesirable noise and possible damage to the finish. Under no circumstances should any object containing liquid be placed on the Fathom cabinet.

Is the Fathom magnetically shielded?

Fathom subwoofers are not magnetically shielded. To avoid magnetic distortion with certain television types, place the Fathom at least 3-4 feet (1 - 1.5m) from your screen. If you notice any discoloration in the picture, try moving the subwoofer further away until these artifacts disappear.

Will my electric bill be high if I leave the Fathom in “Auto” mode?

When in “Auto” mode, the Fathom amplifier is only powered up when a significant signal is detected on the inputs. When powered down, only “housekeeping” circuits remain on, which draw negligible amounts of power from the wall (less than 5 watts).

Should I unplug my subwoofer during a thunderstorm or extended absence?

YES. You should unplug your Fathom during (or before) thunderstorms. This will prevent any possible damage from voltage spikes due to lightning. In these conditions, it’s a good idea to unplug all of your audio / video components. If you are going to be away from home for several days, it is also a good idea to unplug your home theater components to prevent damage from unexpected storms or power line conditions.
