Please note that after the cessation of a signal, it may take up to an hour for the amplifier to actually turn off from active to standby mode. In some instances, because of RF presence in your area, the red LEDs may not turn off. However, this is nothing to be concerned about as the amplifiers draw almost no power when they are idling.

Setting the Level and Crossover Frequency When Using the ProSub with ProMonitors

When you have the ProMonitors wired to the speaker level outputs on your ProSub, the following are our suggestions for starting settings on your controls. Remember, these are just approximate settings and we suggest experimenting to determine the best-sounding settings for your particular set-up.

1.Set the variable low pass crossover control on

the back of the ProSub to approximately 2 o’clock. Please note that the exact frequency will depend on many factors including specific positions of the speakers in the room, so you might experiment with a slightly higher or lower setting to achieve ideal blending between the sub and the satellites for your particular set-up. Listen to a wide variety of music to determine the correct setting for this in your system.

2.Set the subwoofer level control to 12 o’clock. Please note that the exact level depends on

many factors including your room size, position of the speakers, etc. as well as your personal listening taste, so you might experiment with the subwoofer level while listening to a wide variety of music until you achieve the ideal setting for your system.
