FEATURES

•This subwoofer system employs YAMAHA Active Servo Technology which YAMAHA developed for reproducing higher quality super-bass sound. (Refer to page 11 for details on Active Servo Technology.)

This unit does not only enhance bass frequency response of sound output in your audio system, but, by reproducing the bass frequencies, the subwoofer permits your existing amplifier and speakers to operate under less strenuous conditions, improving overall system performance.

•This unit can be added easily to your existing audio system by connecting to either the speaker terminals or the line output (pin jack) terminals of the amplifier.

•For the effective use of this unit, this unit’s super-bass sound must be matched to the sounds of your main speakers. Therefore, this unit employs a continuously variable high frequency cut-off point (HIGH CUT) control. Moreover, the PHASE switch allows you to select the best sound quality for various listening conditions.

•A newly employed AUTO POWER ON/OFF switch saves you the trouble of pressing the POWER switch when turning the power on and off.

If using one subwoofer, it is recommended to place it on the

outside of either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig. A .) If using two subwoofers, it is recommended to place them on the outside of each main speaker. (See fig. B .) The

placement shown in fig. C is also possible, however, if the subwoofer system is placed directly facing the wall, the bass effect may die because the sound from it and the sound reflected by the wall may cancel. To prevent this, face the subwoofer system obliquely to the wall as shown in fig. A or B .

One subwoofer will have a good effect on your audio system, however, the use of two subwoofers is recommended to obtain more presence.

Note

There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough super- bass sounds from this unit when listening at the middle of the room. This is because “standing waves” have developed between two parallel walls and the bass sounds are being canceled.

In such a case, face the unit obliquely to the wall. It also may be necessary to break up the parallel surfaces by placing bookshelves etc. along the walls.
