Connecting the Subwoofer

Caution: Turn off your preamplifier/receiver and your subwoofer before making any connections

Inputs and Outputs

Line In

Your Palladium Series powered sub woofer is connected via line-level connections only. RCA-type and XLR inputs are provided and either may be used. Do not connect both at the same time. Use the “Subwoofer”, “LFE” or “Pre-amp” outputs of your system’s electronics to connect to the “LINE IN” input connections of your subwoofer. Use high-quality, shielded, line-level cables for these connections.

Line Out

This jack can be used as an alternate method of connecting a second subwoofer to your system. This second subwoofer can function as a “slave” to the primary subwoofer. (For more on this, see the “Back Pan el Features” section of this manual.) RCA-type and XLR inputs are pro vided and either may be used. Do not connect both at the same time. Use high-quality, shielded, line-level cables for these connections.

Features and Controls

Touch Panel Controls

All of the subwoofer’s controls and settings are accessed through the touch-panel key pad and display located on the top of the subwoofer’s cabinet. The only exception to this is the main AC power switch, which is located on the rear panel of the subwoofer.

• Use the  (Up) or  (Down) touch keys to scroll through the list of control options.

• Use the  (Left) or  (Right) touch keys to make adjustments to a given control setting.

• Use the (Enter) touch key when the or

“Enter” appears on the display to store

and recall custom settings or to lock the keypad.

•After adjusting the individual control param- eters for “Volume”, “EQ Mode”, “Lowpass”, “Low-

pass Slope” and “Phase”, your settings can be stored in one of five user memories (“Movie”, “Music”, “Night”, “User 1” and “User 2”). This allows for global recall of all of the above settings to tailor the subwoofer’s performance to compensate for differing source material and uses.

•The display backlighting will turn off if no keypad inputs are made for 10 seconds.

•The display will return to the “Volume” screen if no keypad inputs are made for 10 seconds.

•If the display is in standby mode or on the default volume menu during normal operation, the initial key press will turn on the display backlighting. The second key press will initiate a control adjustment or the selection of another mode.

•In periods of low humidity, it is possible that a static electricity discharge to the subwoofer may cause a momentary interruption in the subwoofers output or changes to the LCD display content. Any display content errors will be corrected when the screen changes modes.

Volume

Use the left and right touch keys to adjust the subwoofer’s volume level to match the output of your main speakers. Press and hold (or press and release) the Left touch key to decrease the subwoofer’s volume. Press and hold (or press and release) the Right touch key to increase the subwoofer’s volume to the desired level. From this screen, press the Down touch key to access other control settings.

Recall Settings

This screen is used to select any one of five user-defined memory presets titled “Movie”, “Music”, “Night”, “User 1” and “User 2”. Use the Left/Right touch keys to select the desired group of stored control settings and press the Enter key to apply them. “Settings Recalled!” will then be displayed. During initial setup, skip this screen until all other initial control adjustments have been made. If nothing has been saved in the selected preset, the display will read “Preset Empty”. From this screen, press the Down or Up touch key to access other control settings.
