6. Phase 0-180 Degrees:

0 Degrees = the input signal will be in phase 
with front surround speakers. 180 degrees
the input signal will 180 degrees out of phase 
from front surround speakers. When the 
PRO-SUB12A is positioned on the same wall 
as your front speakers keep the PHASE switch 
set to 0 degrees. When the PRO-SUB12A is 
positioned on the opposite wall from your front 
speakers set the PHASE switch to 180 degrees.

7. Power On LED:

When the main power switch is ON this LED
will be green.

8. Ground Lift Switch:

The ground lift switch helps eliminate audio hum
that can be caused by ground differentials 
between different pieces of equipment connected
together in the same system. Ground hum is
generally 60Hz hum which is easily noticeable
when the system is turned on. Press the ground 
lift switch to minimize or eliminate the hum.

9. Gain:

This is the input level control. Adjust the input
level control to achieve the correct system level
In relation to the other speakers in the system.
Always pay attention to the signal limit LED.
If the signal limit LED is flashing your input level
Is reaching 0dB. If the gain control is set too high
The amplifier will be over-driven. This can 
damage the amplifier. Keep you input gain as 
low as possible while achieving your desired 
sound pressure level.

10. Signal Limit LED:

When the input signal exceeds 0dB the on-board 
clip limiter will automatically be engaged. The 
clip limiter will limit the input signal to avoid 
overloading the amplifier. If the Signal Limit LED 
flashes momentarily the input is within a safe 
operating level. If the signal limit LED stays lit 
solidly adjust the input gain control down.
