this LED will remain green.

 

 

 

“Level” control knob: This knob controls the amplifier level of the SBX. The gain

 

range is from minimum to maximum, labeled “Min” and “Max,” with Min being

full attenuation and Max being full volume.

 

 

Phase control knob: This knob controls phase of the crossover frequencies of

4.

the Subwoofer and the Satellites from 0 to 180 degrees.

 

“Subwoofer” LPF control knob: This knob de ignates the cutoff frequency of the

 

SBX using LPF, or low-pass filter. This

setting will determine

the highest

5.

frequency that the SBX will reproduce.

 

 

“Satellites” HPF control knob: This knob determines the HPF, or high-pass filter

 

cutoff frequency for the Satellite speakers while using the SBX’s Stereo Bass

 

Management System. The Satellites control knob is functional only when the

6.

HPF Bypass switch is set to Off.

 

 

Input section: This section provides two balanced XLR inputs and two 1/4” TRS

 

connectors that may be

for balanced (TRS) or unbalanced (TS) operation.

 

Either XLR or TRS may be used as your audio input. These inputs are designated

 

as “L” and “R” for operation in bass management mode. When bass

 

management is not used, either the L or R input may be used to input signal to

the SBX.

 

 

 

Auto Power On/Off Switch: When this switch is set to “On,” Auto Power mode is

engaged. Switching to “Off” will defeat Auto Power mode.

 

HPF Bypass switch: Switching HPF Bypass to “On” will bypass the Satellites HPF

 

control knob, effectively defeating the SBX’s Stereo Bass Management System.

 

With HPF Bypass switched off, the “Satellites” HPF cutoff frequency control knob

is engaged and bass management is operational.

 

Output section: This section provides three balanced XLR outputs labeled “Extra

 

Sub” and “L” & “R.” The Extra Sub output gives you throughput directly from the

 

inputs for the purpose of connecting an additional subwoofer. The L and R

 

outputs are to be used for connecting Satellite speakers (your left and right

0.

mains) when using the Bass

 

System.

of circuit protection.

 

 

 

Power On/Off switch: Switching to “O ” will power the SBX subwoofer.

13.

Switching to “Off” will power the unit down.

Voltage-Select Switch: Provides 2 selections - 115VAC (120VAC) and 230VAC,

 

and should be set to match the “house current” (receptacle) voltage of the

 

country/location in which the speaker is used. The 115V (120V) setting is correct

 

for the USA and the 230V setting correct for most of the UK and Europe.
