Setup, calibrating and integration

What’s to know? Setup is easy! However, there are key steps which must be done carefully and correctly, read on:

Unpacking. Take a few moments to carefully unpack everything. Save the box and shipping materials, just in case you need to return the sub for any reason.

Location. Where you put a sub is important to how it will sound. Use 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 room’s corners (leave about 3” in the back for cable clearance with any wall or other surface). Whether you put the sub in front or to the rear of your room makes surprisingly little difference.

Hook-up(see Fig. 1). There are a variety of ways to configure your new sub. Usually, a simple mono, shielded 75 Ohm A/V RCA type cable (a.) is used to take the subwoofer output of your AVR (b.) and feed the low- level input of the sub’s amp (c.).

NOTE: Take time to review your AVR manual. Ensure all power to your equipment is off when making these connec-

tions. Also, be certain your power outlet can handle a minimum of 400 watts. (Use of “convenience outlets” on receivers are not recommended for your sub).
