PROCEDURE B – QUICK INSTALLATION-

Using the Final Sound S110 special high pass filter facilities.

In this position, the sub’s special high pass filter facilities are active. Basically, the incoming full range signal is split into a low pass filtered signal driving the subwoofer, and a high pass filtered signal driving the left and right front panels. The high pass filter’s crossover frequency is not endlessly variable. It has three pre chosen fixed frequencies, which fall into the usable range for the panels. The ‘Mid Bass Equalizer’ switch on the sub’s back panel, will also give you three positions.

Position the S110 in the desired location.

Connect the S110 according to this manual’s instructions.

Set the sub’s Level control to a minimum and the Phase Switch to 0 degrees (as a starting point).

Adjust the sub’s Low Pass control (crossover frequency) to the panel’s lowest frequency (see Table 1 or 2).

Now play some music and gradually turn up the sub’s Level control to a value that matches the main loudspeaker’s level.

Adjust the Variable Phase control now. This is ONLY necessary if the subwoofer’s position is NOT on the baseline between the loudspeakers or left to the left loudspeaker and right to the right loudspeaker. If the subwoofer is before or behind the baseline, or somewhere else in the room, adjustment of the phase might be necessary. Play some modern music with a strong bass-rhythm to adjust the phase. The Phase control is in the right position, if you’re not aware of a time difference between the mid/high frequencies and the lower frequencies on the listening position. The system is definitely out of phase when the bass frequencies lag behind the rest of the spectrum or there’s a time difference anyway. If it’s not possible to get the right timing, reverse the Phase Switch from ‘0’ to ‘180’ and try again. If this is not helpful, diminish the distance between the subwoofer and the electrostatic panels.

After adjusting the phase, it might be necessary to re-adjust the balance between the subwoofer and the panels, using the subwoofer’s Level Control.
