Model 162 PBM High Performance Subwoofer
7
Power Connection
Connect the power cord to an AC outlet only after making all other connections to the
subwoofer. This will avoid any chance of accidentally activating the subwoofer while
wiring. The AC cord should be plugged into its own wall outlet or into a quality power
strip. Avoid using the outlets that are provided on the rear panel of other components.
The subwoofer may require more current than these outlets can provide and perfor-
mance may suffer. Once the subwoofer is hooked up and the power cord is plugged into
an AC outlet,
leave it plugged in
. Automatic on/off circuitry will activate the sub-
woofer in the presence of an audio signal. After 8-10 minutes with no signal detected,
the amplifier will go into standby mode. There is no need to unplug the subwoofer or
use a switched outlet.
Placement and Adjustment
This subwoofer’s compact size allows easy placement for optimum performance. As a
general rule, corner placement gives the loudest bass output, but may tend to empha-
size one particular frequency. Moving the subwoofer away from the wall results in
flatter frequency response, but will reduce the output somewhat. Experiment with
several different positions to find the best one for your room.
