Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Sunﬁre Dynamic Series Subwoofer. We hope you enjoy it and the music it makes as much as we have en- joyed creating it for you.

The big features of the subwoofer are its high-efﬁciency Class D digital ampliﬁer, and its computer-optimized woofer and passive radiator design. And, the Sunﬁre Dynamic Series' extended frequency response means that your subwoofer is the perfect match to virtually any loudspeaker. The result is extraordinarily high operating efﬁciency – that is, more acoustic output for each watt of input.

Unpacking

Your Sunﬁre subwoofer should reach you in perfect condition. If you do notice any shipping damage, please contact your Sunﬁre Dealer immediately.

Gently lift out the unit and remove all the packing material. It is important to save all the packing materials and the box in case your subwoofer ever needs to be moved or shipped for repair.

Make sure that you keep your sales receipt. It is the only way to establish the duration of your Limited Warranty and it may come in useful for insurance purposes.

Location

Your SDS Subwoofer is designed to be placed in a corner for optimum performance. Experiment with at least two corners and de- cide which sounds the best.

Although low frequencies are non-directional, room reﬂections, standing waves, resonance and absorption strongly affect the performance. Moving the subwoofer from one corner to another can have a major effect on the bass response.

Keep it at least two or three feet away from any CRT screen, computer, VCR or magnetic tapes and discs. This will reduce the chance of the magnetic ﬁelds upsetting the CRT screen or erasing your magnetic media.

Also position the control panel so that it is not touching anything and can receive good ventilation.

Using Two Subwoofers

With two subwoofers, the sound output will double. Place each subwoofer in a corner, and experiment with the location and phase control to achieve the best bass response.
