The Phase Control ™ determines whether the subwoofer’s piston- like action moves in and out in phase with the main speakers or opposite the main speakers. This is adjusted by pressing the button to the 0°, or 180° position. The 0° position of the phase button plays the bass signal in phase with the main speakers. The 180° position plays the bass signal 180º, or out of phase with the main speakers. Proper phase adjustment
£depends on several variables such as subwoofer placement and listener position. Adjust the phase switch to optimize bass output at the listening position.
™Every system, room and listener is different. There are no right or wrong settings. This switch offers the added flexibility to adjust your subwoofer for optimum performance for your specific listening conditions without having to move your speakers. If at some time in the future you happen to rearrange your listening room, and move your speakers, you should experiment with the phase switch in both positions, and leave it in the position that optimizes bass performance for your taste.
