SV Subwoofers

Setup, calibrating and integration

What’s to know? Well, first of all, setting up an SV Subwoofer is pretty darn easy. There are a few key things to get right though if you want to get the most out of your sub…

Unpacking. You’re probably eager to fire up your sub, but take time to carefully unpack everything. Save the box and shipping materials, just in case you need to return the sub for any reason.

Location. They say it’s ALL about location right? It’s the same with setting up your subwoofer. So, where to put it? Go for a corner if you can, and avoid putting your sub where it might adjoin large open areas. Studies have shown that the deepest and flattest bass response is typically attained when a subwoofer is placed within a few feet of one of your home theater’s corners. A corner near your seat is best of all. The front-firing configuration of this SVS makes this easy. Whether you put the sub in front or to the rear of your seating area makes surprisingly little difference. Deep home theater bass, like that from “5.1 channel” DVDs is non-directional. You can’t tell where it is coming from, even though you can hear, and feel it.

Hook-up(see fig. 1). To configure your new sub, a simple mono, shielded 75 Ohm A/V RCA type cable (a.) is all you need to take the subwoofer output jack of your DD/DTS surround sound receiver (b.) and feed the low-level input of the sub’s amp.

NOTE: Stop now if you aren’t

Totally familiar with your receiver’s manual. Ensure all power to your equipment is off

when making these connections. Also, be certain your power outlet can handle a minimum of 350 watts. (Use of “convenience outlets” on receivers are not recommended for powering your SVS.)
