Aperion Audio Intimus Series manual

Setting the Aperion Audio Intimus S-10 & S-12 Subwoofer

In addition to the high and low-level speaker connections on the rear of your subwoofer, you will see three round knobs and two switches. The first knob, labeled “phase” allows you to adjust the polarity of your subwoofer. If the distance from the sub to the listener is significantly different than the front and center speakers (>3’), try reversing the phase to see if it improves the bass response. The second knob, “crossover frequency,” sets the crossover frequency. As a starting point, set the receiver crossover at 80Hz and the subwoofer crossover between 80Hz-120Hz.

The power switch has three settings - on, off and auto. When the switch is set in the “auto” setting, it will

automatically turn the sub on when

a signal is present. You’ll know the subwoofer is on because the power lamp will be illuminated red (when a signal is present it turns green).

Your subwoofer also has a switchable voltage control. Please be sure to select 115V for use in the USA. The illustration to the right shows a recommended starting point for settings. You will want to adjust these based on personal preference and room dynamics.
