Line level input

These RCA jacks accept a line-level, full-range signal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from the pre-amplifier or LFE output of a receiver or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

preamplifier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This full-range signal is processed and amplified to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

power the subwoofer.

 

 

 

 

5

 

Polarity switch

This two-position switch allows the best match of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

acoustic output between the subwoofer and the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

satellite speakers in the crossover frequency region

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

between them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• The 0° position maintains phase from input to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

output.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• The 180° position changes the polarity by 180°.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try both settings and pick the one that sounds best.

Status LED

This shows the status of the subwoofer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Red indicates that the amplifier is plugged in and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the power switch is either off or in standby mode

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with no input signal present.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Green indicates that the amplifier is operating

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with a signal present at the input from the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pre-amplifier, receiver, or power amplifier.

Subwoofer

This rotary control sets the upper frequency at which

 

 

 

crossover

the output of the subwoofer begins to roll off.

 

 

 

(frequency)

Continuously variable from 60 Hz to 160 Hz, it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

matches the upper frequency characteristics of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

subwoofer to the low-frequency response of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

satellite speakers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recommended setting: 150 Hz.

 

 

 

 

8

 

Volume control

This rotary control adjusts the level of the subwoofer

 

 

 

(gain)

and is used to balance its volume with that of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

satellite speakers.

 

 

 

 

9

 

Main power switch

This switch controls the overall power status of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

subwoofer. It must be in the ON position for the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

subwoofer to operate.

 

 

 

10

Fuse

For continued protection, replace the fuse with the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

same type and size listed.
