Using the Remote Control

You can take advantage of many of the sub88’s powerful features of the using the infrared remote. You can mute and control the level of the sub, and mute or control the over-all system level using the sub88’s remote control. You can even lower the volume of the over-all system using the DIM func- tion for those times when you need to talk to someone in the control room without disturbing the groove. Make sure that the two AAA batteries are installed and then follow the sec- tions below that detail the operation of the remote control.

10 Using the SYSTEM VOLUME controls

The UP and DOWN SYSTEM VOLUME controls are used

to adjust the overall level of the monitor system, which

includes the sub88 and the connected satellite speakers.

If you want to make the monitor system louder, aim the

remote control at the sub88’s IR window and press the

SYSTEM VOLUME UP control. To lower the over-all SYSTEM

VOLUME, point the remote control at the sub88’s IR win-

dow and press the SYSTEM VOLUME DOWN control.

system you can audition your mix with and without the

subwoofer by using the SUB MUTE button located in the

upper right hand corner of the remote control. If you

want to mute the subwoofer, point the remote control at

the sub88’s IR window and press SUB MUTE. At this point,

take notice to the lighted, red MUTE LED located in the IR

window indicating that the sub is off. Now, press the SUB

MUTE button again to un-mute the subwoofer and notice

that the red MUTE LED is now off.

Thanks to the sub88’s intelligent crossover design, the

outputs to the satellite speakers are retuned to full range

when the subwoofer is muted using the SUB MUTE but-

ton. When you un-mute the subwoofer by pressing the

SUB MUTE button again, the outputs to the satellite

speakers are once again passed at the crossover point set

by the rear panel FREQUENCY control knob.

12 Using the SUB VOLUME controls

The UP and DOWN SUB VOLUME controls are used to

adjust the level of the subwoofer. If you want to make

the subwoofer louder, aim the remote control at the

sub88’s IR window and press the SUB VOLUME UP control.

To lower the VOLUME, point the remote control at the

sub88’s IR window and press the SUB VOLUME DOWN

control.

13Using the SYSTEM MUTE button.

The SYSTEM MUTE button is used to turn off the entire monitor system including the sub woofer and satellite speakers. Aim the remote control at the sub88’s IR win- dow and press SYSTEM MUTE to defeat the mix. When you want to get back to listening, press the SYSTEM MUTE button again to un-mute the system.

14Using the DIM control

The sub88 incorporates a very useful feature; “DIM” which let’s you instantaneously lower your mix by 20dB. This convenient facility lets you pick up a phone or carry on an argument…ah, conversation with your mates with- out having to (necessarily) yell over or mute the mix. Using the DIM helps keep the creative juices going even through the normal distractions, so you don’t disturb the groove. It is also extremely useful for checking your mix and low levels, a practice which many good engineers use as a technique to hear where things are sitting in the mix.

To use the DIM control, aim the remote control at the sub88’s IR window and press SYSTEM DIM and the level will be lowered by 20dB. When you want to get back to the normal listening level, press the SYSTEM DIM button again.
