Setup, Calibration & Integration

Before making any power or signal connections, make sure all equipment in the chain is turned off. Plug the subwoofer into a power outlet that is capable of a peak draw of 1100 watts. Using convenience outlets located on some AVRs or pre/pros is NOT recommended for your subwoofer as these outlets are not meant for high current devices.

For a discussion of the audio connections available on your subwoofer, see the section earlier in the manual entitled “Connectivity and Panel Operation”.

From an audio signal connection perspective, there are two primary ways you can connect the subwoofer based upon the capabilities of the AVR, pre/pro, or preamp you are using in your listening environment:

1)Bass Management and time alignment performed in the AVR or pre/pro. In this configura- tion it is assumed that the subwoofer will be passed a signal intended strictly for the subwoofer – in other words there is no additional higher-frequency information that needs to be accounted for.

Normally, you would use a single RCA (single-ended) or XLR (balanced) cable from your AVR or pre/pro’s “Sub Pre Out” connector and attach it to either the Left or Right Input on the STA-800D/STA-1000D ampli- fier. If you have multiple subwoofers you can split the signal at the AVR or pre/pro using a “Y” adapter, or you can daisy-chain an additional subwoofer through an Output connector on the STA-800D/STA-1000D amplifier with the HPF disabled if so equipped.

Using the Integrated Function Controller, set the following values as starting points for initial set up (facto- rydefaults assuming no ports blocked if applicable):

The PC12-Plus is also equipped with adjustable phase control and low-pass filters, allowing users to finely tune their bass response based on their room acoustics.

The PB12-Plus features a similar design but emphasizes portability and efficiency. Also utilizing a 12-inch driver, it emphasizes the ability to generate room-filling bass without compromising space. The built-in amplifier matches the PC12-Plus in power, promising rich low frequencies ideal for both cinematic action sequences and music playback alike. Its robust cabinet construction allows for minimal vibration and resonance, maintaining clarity in sound reproduction.

For those seeking uncompromising power, the PB13-Ultra is a standout. This subwoofer features a larger 13.5-inch driver and an impressive 1000 watts of continuous power, peaking at 3700 watts. This model is engineered for serious enthusiasts who demand deep-reaching bass extension, and it excels in both music and home theater settings. The advanced DSP technology provides users with precise control over the subwoofer’s settings, allowing for an incredibly adaptable performance.

The SB13-Plus is a sealed subwoofer that excels in delivering tight, accurate bass response. Its design minimizes distortion while maximizing punch, making it an excellent choice for music lovers who appreciate precision. This subwoofer is equipped with similar power specs to the PB12-Plus, offering 300 watts continuous and 700 watts peak power. Its compact design makes it versatile enough to fit in smaller spaces without sacrificing sound quality.

Finally, the PC13-Ultra combines elements from its predecessors with upgraded specifications. Featuring an ultra-long-throw 13.5-inch driver and an expansive amplifier setup, it can produce overwhelming bass that resonates throughout larger spaces. It incorporates advanced room correction technologies, ensuring optimal performance regardless of placement.
