Calibrate Button
During the ARO test sequence the Calibrate button’s green LED will blink quickly to alert the user to two special conditions:
1.“JL Audio Microphone NOT Connected”: If you forget to connect the mic before trying to start a Calibration you will get this alert. Press the Calibrate button once to cancel the alert, connect the A.R.O. microphone, and try again.
2.“Inappropriate Sound Level for A.R.O. Calibration”: Since the A.R.O. sequence is completely automatic, this alert likely indicates a problem with the microphone. Press the Calibrate button once to cancel the alert. Ensure that the JL Audio microphone is properly connected and try again. For further help, please refer to Troubleshooting on page 33.

In this mode, the Master Level control knob has no effect on the Fathom’s output level. Use this setting if you will primarily be controlling the subwoofer level via your receiver or preamplifier/processor.

“Variable”
In this mode, the Master Level control knob determines the output level of the Fathom subwoofer. This mode is also useful when level matching the Fathom subwoofer to a pair of stereo speakers in a
