EURO (230 VAC) MODEL: Connect the linecord to the subwoofer before connecting the other end to a 230 Volt, 50/60 Hz AC outlet. The outlet must have a circuit rating of 8 amps or more.

Never plug the Euro (230 VAC) model subwoofer directly into 120- 130 Volts AC.

11. Power Switch

The power switch is a CE requirement for international shipments. Leave it switched on at all times for normal operation.

After a period of inactivity (i.e. with no input signal), the subwoofer will automatically turn itself to Standby mode, where it is effectively off. It can however, turn back on automatically when an input signal is applied, if a

12 VDC trigger voltage is applied to the Trigger inputs, or if the Start button is pressed.

12. Start button

Press this once to enter the Auto EQ mode (if the sub is out of Standby mode). Press and hold down for

several seconds to enter the Manual EQ mode. See page 12 for more details on this and the following EQ controls.

13. Microphone Input

This is where you plug in the supplied linear measurement microphone when you want to use the Auto EQ mode.

14. LED display

These LEDs are used during the Auto EQ and Manual EQ procedures.

15. Equalizer Authority

This control's primary purpose is to adjust the EQ Authority. During normal listening, you can adjust the overall EQ from none (ccw, 0%), to fully equalized (cw, 100%). For example, if your first band has a 6 dB boost, setting this control to 50% would make it boost only 3 dB.

This control is also used during the Manual EQ mode to adjust each of the four internal EQ bands, and allow you to add "color" to the sound as desired.
