SETTING UP & TUNING IN

Master and Slave mode

The subwoofer can operate in two different modes: Master or Slave mode. If your system consists of multiple subwoofers, it is desirable that all subwoofers operate with identical settings (Volume, Low-Pass filter (Hz), Phase and LF Extension).

Using the Master/Slave feature of Dynaudio subwoofers this is easily achieved: The Master subwoofer (connected directly to the subwoofer Output of the amplifier or receiver) will control all Slave subwoofers (connected to the Master subwoofer). Thus, using a single remote control, all subwoofers in the system will follow all settings from the Master subwoofer. Note that in Slave mode, only the On/Off and Auto/Manual selections are available.

Single subwoofer connection

•From the processor or receiver's low-level (not a speaker Output) subwoofer Output (often marked as "subwoofer out", "Sub out" or "LFE"), connect a mono RCA-to-RCA (No. 4 in fig. 2; refer also to fig. 3) or XLR-to-XLR patch cord to the subwoofers Input. Refer also to the section "Using the XLR connectors" below in this chapter.

•Set the subwoofers Input switch (No. 7 in fig. 2) to the "Master" position if you wish to use and change the settings with the remote control.

•After all connections are made, connect the supplied mains lead to the subwoofers IEC power socket (No. 1 in fig. 2) and a mains outlet.

Multiple Subwoofer connection

•From the processor or receiver's subwoofer Output (often marked as "subwoofer out", "Sub out" or "LFE"), connect a mono RCA-to-RCA or XLR-to-XLR patch cord to the Input (No. 4 in fig. 2) of the first subwoofer in the daisy- chain. This is now the Master subwoofer.

•Set the master subwoofers Input switch (No. 7 in fig. 2) to the "Master" position.

•From the Master subwoofers "processed Out" Output (No. 6 in fig. 2), connect a mono RCA-to-RCA or XLR-to- XLR patch cord to the next subwoofers (Slave) Input. Refer also to fig. 4.

•Any subsequent Slave subwoofers can be connected in a daisy-chain style, going from the "processed Out" Output (No. 6 in fig. 2 to the next Slave subwoofers Input.

•Set the Slave subwoofers Input switch (No. 7 in fig. 2) to the "Slave" position.

•After all connections are made, connect the supplied mains leads to the subwoofers IEC power sockets (No. 1 in fig. 2) and a mains outlet.

• In order to avoid interference and noise, we recommend you use quality, well shielded cables.

•When using multiple subwoofers in a Master- Slave setup, it is recommended that the subwoofers are all the same model.

•If you wish to use multiple subwoofers with full individual control, set the Input switch for all to the "Master" position. From the Amplifier, processor or receiver's subwoofer Output, use a Y-connector.
