25Hz Level Knobs

The 25Hz Level knob sig- nificantly adjusts the level between 20 and 30Hz by ±10dB. This is an area where peaks and dips of different amplitudes often manifest in real environments. This set- ting is dependent on room size and construction, system configuration and personal preference

Bicolor Amplifier Status Light This multi-color LED indi- cates the current status of the amplified PoweredForce™ woofer system.

No color: No power. The Summit X is not plugged in.

Blue: Play mode. This indicates the Summit X detects an audio signal and is operating normally.

Red: Standby mode. This indicates the Summit X has detected no audio signal for approximately 15 minutes.

Flashing Red: Safe mode. This indicates if the Summit X’s temperature has exceed- ed nominal operating range or that another error has occured. Normal operation will resume when available. This can also occur after initial plug in or while transitioning to standby mode. This is nor- mal and will clear upon music signal or after entering stand- by mode.
