Connections

Please consider the following when set- ting up your new system :

•Before making or changing any connections, ALWAYS make sure that the subwoofer and your other components are turned OFF. Turn down the volume control of both the subwoofer and your processor or receiver.

Tape Deck

DVD

Preamplifier

Power strip

Amplifier

AC outlets on the same circuit breaker

Subwoofer

•This diagram shows all the low power components sharing a power strip which is connected to the same outlet used by the main power amplifier.

•The subwoofer is connected to an outlet on the same circuit breaker, provided that the total system current draw does not exceed the breaker current rating.

•Whenever possible, keep the power cords away from the signal cables or speaker wires to prevent hum or interference.

•Choose reliable, high quality interconnect cables. They should be fully shielded and as short as possible for the job. The longest cable in your system will likely be to the subwoofer, so choose a good quality brand.

•Some cables can be a very tight fit and there is usually a preferred method of removing them. Some have to be removed with a twisting action. Be gentle, as twisting may cause damage to the jacks of the subwoofer or your other compo- nents.

Speaker-level connections

•The subwoofer’s speaker-level in- puts can accept speaker wires with banana, dual-banana, or bare wire. If you have banana-type connec- tors on your speaker wire, tighten the binding posts before inserting.

•Make sure that the negative speaker wires never touch the posi- tive wires. This will short out and possibly damage your amplifier or receiver.

The subwoofer’s two negative posts are joined internally (com- mon-grounded). Your amplifier or receiver must also be internally common-grounded or you cannot use this connection. Contact the manufacturer of your amplifier or receiver to make sure its outputs are common grounded.

The Sunfire HRS series offers a range of high-performance subwoofers that cater to audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike. Among the notable models in this series are the HRS-12, HRS-10, and HRS-8, each delivering exceptional sound quality and powerful bass response.

The HRS-12 is the flagship model, featuring a 12-inch driver and a powerful 2000-watt peak amplifier. It utilizes Sunfire's patented High Pressure Drive technology, which allows for a remarkable output-to-size ratio. This means that despite its compact design, the HRS-12 can reproduce deep, driving bass that fills any room. The subwoofer also incorporates a unique dual opposing driver configuration, which minimizes distortion and enhances sound clarity by canceling out unwanted vibrations.

Next in the lineup, the HRS-10 features a slightly smaller 10-inch driver, but it still maintains impressive performance. With a 1200-watt peak amplifier, the HRS-10 is capable of producing rich, deep bass that complements movie action sequences or music performances. This model also benefits from the same High Pressure Drive technology, ensuring that users experience minimal distortion, even at high volume levels.

The HRS-8, with its 8-inch driver, is designed for those who desire quality sound in a more compact form factor. Despite its smaller size, this subwoofer is powered by a 600-watt peak amplifier and delivers surprisingly deep bass. Ideal for smaller rooms or setups that need discreet audio solutions, the HRS-8 still excels in performance, making it a favorite for apartment dwellers or those with limited space.

All models in the Sunfire HRS series incorporate advanced features such as adjustable phase control, variable crossover frequencies, and a front-firing design that allows for flexible placement options. This means users can fine-tune their listening experience according to their room's acoustics and personal preferences.

In summary, the Sunfire HRS-12, HRS-10, and HRS-8 subwoofers exemplify the brand’s commitment to delivering powerful, high-quality bass in a variety of formats to suit different needs. Whether in a home theater setup or a music listening environment, these subwoofers ensure a deep and immersive experience, making them standout choices in the marketplace. Their combination of advanced technology, thoughtful design, and exceptional performance solidifies their reputation among audio enthusiasts.
