High pass crossover switch (CHT-12) This switch selects the frequency for the high pass crossover. This crossover is functional on both line and speaker-level outputs. Smaller speakers with limited low frequency output may prefer the higher 100Hz setting which will reduce the low frequencies sent to them. Larger speakers with greater low frequency output may be able to handle the 80Hz setting without strain.

Auto turn on function With this function in the "auto" position, your CHT-8/CHT-10/CHT-12 can be safely left with the main power switch on continuously. The subwoofer will turn itself on automatically when an audio signal is present. If no signal is present for approximately 10 minutes, the unit will switch to standby mode. While in standy mode, your subwoofer will draw very minimal power. This function can be disabled by leaving the switch in the "on" position.

Phase adjustment- 0˚/180˚ This control allows you the "reverse" the phase of the subwoofer's output signal 180˚ to correct for any possible mismatch and resulting cancellation between the subwoofer and your main speakers/amplifier. To adjust, simply listen to the system with music playing. Then move the switch from one position to the other and listen for a change in low frequency output. The correct position will have a greater amount of apparent low frequency output.

Subwoofer Direct A bypass switch is also provided if you wish to use an external crossover. If you are not using an external crossover, we recommend that you use the one provided within the unit for optimum performance.
