Guarantee

EGi guarantees its electronic and electroacoustic products against any manufacturing defect that affects its operation for 36 months from the production date (indicated in every manufacture), 
taking the commitment of repairing or replacing the faulty modules which failure, always to the discretion of EGi, is caused by a manufacturing defect, without any charge for spare parts.

This guarantee does not include charges for the shipping and handling of the modules, nor the labour charges for the replacement in the installation of the aforementioned electronic and 
electroacoustic modules. The guarantee will not cover in any case the damages or breakings of the trimming pieces (lattices, trims, masks, frames...). 

This guarantee refers only to the concept of replacement in factory of the modules produced by EGi, excluding any other cover or responsibility on the rest of the materials or the whole 
of the installation that is put at the user disposal, but that is not supplied nor executed by EGi.

Therefore this guarantee does not cover: 

a.

  The fitting up and the interconnection between the modules.

b.

  The results from the abuse or misuse of the product, including but not limited to:

b.1.

  Not using the product for usual purposes, or not following the instructions from EGi  for the correct use and maintenance of the product.

b.2.

  The installation or use of the products in a way that is not concordant with the technical or security rules now in force.

c.

  The malfunctions caused by the wrong installation of the modules, or by an installation with inappropiate cables.

d.

  The malfunctions caused by the intervention of a person non-authorised by EGi.

e.

  The consequences of mixing with equipment from other sources, and also adaptations, modifications, adjustments and/or adjustment attempts, irrespectively of those that have been 

performed in a technically correct way, provided that there is not an express authorisation by EGi.

f.

 

The consequences of accidents, natural catastrophes or any cause beyond EGi control, including but not limited to lightning, water and public disturbances.

 

In all these cases that are excluded from the guarantee, and every time that the modules are not considered as faulty by EGi, the sender should take responsibility of the full amount of the repair, and in 
the event of a visit from our technicians, the requesting person will bear the expenses originated without a cause justified in the guarantee.

• Protective rear adjustment grille (by special order).

• 06074 Wall mounting kit for vibration absorption in subwoofers and baffles.

The active subwoofers 06816 and 06817 have separate amplification for both, the subwoofer (LOW) and for the medium-high (Hi-Mid) satellite output. Its 
amplification is 50 W for the subwoofer and 50 W at 4 Ohms (ref 06816) or 50 W at 100 V (ref 06817) for the Hi-Mid satellites.

It has volume or gain adjustment for both independent outputs: one volume for Hi-Mid Gain and another volume for Low Gain.

Active preamplification with DSP for cutting "Crossover" frequencies using a potentiometer to select the cutoff frequency that is sent to the subwoofer and sent 
to the satellites. In the selector, the selected frequency on the left will sound on the subwoofer and the selected frequency on the right will sound on the satellites.

Active DSP with CLIP limitation to avoid saturations.

In this way, high quality and optimal sound control is achieved.

It has 3 types of inputs with a priority each one:

1

st

  PRIORITY (yellow LED):

 PIN Input with mono activation included for EGi products only (eg: controls, COMPACT consoles and amplifiers with music or 

warnings).

2

nd

 PRIORITY (green LED):

 Stereo line input for 500 mV LINE OUT audio signals (ex: preamps, mixers, PCs, tablets, mobile phones, mp3 players ...).

3

rd

  PRIORITY (blue LED):

 Stereo Bluetooth input with password access (Factory Friendly Name: 

EGi 06816 XXXX

).

These subwoofers can work independently only as active subwoofers or better as complete amplifiers with output to both subwoofers and satellites. At the same 
time, they allow working in parallel using the inputs (line or PIN) up to 40 units of subwoofers.

For use in Mexico, the operation of this equipment is subject to the following two 
conditions:

1.

  It is possible that this equipment or device does not cause harmful interference and

2. 

this equipment or device must accept any interference, including interference 
that may cause undesired operation.

HOW TO USE:

The active subwoofers 06816 and 06817, when connected to the main power, it switches to stand-by mode with Bluetooth switched off but visible and paired.

•  BLUETOOTH (blue LED):

 When the subwoofer is turned on, the bluetooth remains visible and paired with Friendly name "

EGi 06816 XXXX

", the blue 

LED flashes slowly. To link, you have to select it from the available Bluetooth list and enter the password that comes on the adhesive back label of the subwoofer. 
Once linked, the blue led will change to fixed and you will be able to select songs and music.

The LINE OUT and PIN input lines are always in "stand-by" detection mode waiting for:

•  LINE IN (green LED):

 Input with automatic audio activation. When a line audio signal is detected, the subwoofer turns on and starts playing that line. When 

the audio line disappears and there is more than 60 seconds. of silence, the subwoofer goes to stand-by mode.

•  PIN IN (yellow LED):

 This line is only activated when a carrier DC voltage is detected on the audio line 

only of the EGi products

. It is the line of highest 

priority and is usually used for calls or music with preference.

• 

SWITCHING-ON:

 In the "AUTO" (stand-by) position, the unit waits to detect any of the 3 inputs. In the ON position, the subwoofer switches on and plays 

the LINE IN input. In this mode the subwoofer will always be active, playing the LINE IN signal (green LED), you will not be able to listen to bluetooth and 
there will only be priority over this the PIN IN input.

• 

SELECTOR CHANGE OF PHASE:

 This selector determines the phase of movement of the loudspeaker, at 0º the phase is positive outwards and at 180º the 

phase is negative inward. It is used when there are other subwoofers in the same room or when the satellites are capable of reproducing frequencies lower 
than 100 Hz. It is recommended to work at 0º except that in the room there is a perception of low frequency cancellations. 

• FILTER 

CROSSOVER:

 Setting the cutoff frequency, the frequencies selected to the left of the selection will be played by the subwoofer. The frequencies 

selected to the right of the selection will be reproduced by the satellites.

• LOW 

GAIN:

 Attenuation or enhancement of the subwoofer output.

• HIGH 

GAIN:

 Attenuation or enhancement of the satellite output.

Problem

•  The subwoofer does not turn on or no led lights up.

•  The subwoofer is turned on, but nothing is heard.

•  The blue Bluetooth LED flashes slowly, but it is not linked to my device.

Possible solution

•  Check if the subwoofer is connected to the mains.

•  Check the GAIN volume levels by raising them as much as necessary. 

Also check the volumes of the sound sources or review the connections 
of the installation.

•  Make sure you have successfully linked a Bluetooth device taking into 

account the password indicated on the back sticker.

DIRECT PLACEMENT

ON CEILING

PLACEMENT WITH SIRGA

ON CEILING

INSTALLATION IN WALL

• 

Subwoofers are low frequency systems with long wavelengths. They are omnidirectional sounds that allow their location in multiple points of the room. Its 
placement can be direct with screws and plugs (ref 06074) or hung from the ceiling with metal wires (Kit 06038).

 

For optimal efficiency, it is recommended to place them subwoofers in corners, mainly or at 1 m. max. of floors, walls or ceilings.

• 

Make a correct adjustment of the cutoff frequency, bass gain level and treble-midrange gain level depending on the speakers used. Use the cutoff frequency 
of the subwoofer as the minimum frequency of the satellite speakers.

•  It is vital that for satellite speakers to be in phase with the subwoofer, connect the polarity "+" and "–" of the satellites correctly in parallel.
