Switching the “LFE +10 dB” switch to the “ON” position or using the optional remote control activates the
function. A yellow light next to the “LFE +10 dB” switch illuminates when the “LFE +10 dB” function is
activated and +10 dB of gain is added to the LFE signal. If the audio source outputs the LFE signal at the
same level as the other (non-LFE) signals and the LFE should be reproduced at a 10 dB higher level, set
this control to “ON”. If the LFE output is at a 10 dB higher level than other (non-LFE) channels, this switch
should be set to “OFF”.
The “LFE +10 dB” function should not be used in the following cases:
•
If the +10 dB LFE gain is already implemented by another device, for example, a DVD player,
surround sound processor or the output matrix of a mixing console
•
When producing an audio format that does not require the use of +10 dB gain on the LFE
channel, such as DVD-Audio (MLP) and SACD (DSD).
More than one subwoofer can be used to reproduce the same audio channels by connecting subwoofers
in a chain using additional signal cables. This is called “daisy-chaining”. When daisy-chaining subwoofers
the switches in the “LFE INPUT 4 CONTROLS” group must be the same for all the subwoofers in the
daisy-chain.
Bypass
The “BYPASS” section allows the use of an optional Genelec 109-400 remote bypass
switch. This allows for remote control of the subwoofer’s bass management bypass
function. The red “BYPASS” light is illuminated when the bypass mode is active.
With the bypass mode on, the high pass filters for the loudspeakers are disabled and the
system behaves as if the subwoofer was not connected. The bypass function has no effect
on the LFE signal. If there is no LFE signal, the subwoofer will not reproduce any signal
when the bypass is active.
MODE
The “MODE” switch allows joining together two or more subwoofers to reproduce the same audio
channels at an increased sound pressure level. This is called daisy-chaining subwoofers.
When daisy-chaining two or more subwoofers, the audio channels are connected to the first
subwoofer in the chain and the “MODE” switch is set to “PASS THROUGH”. The signals coming
from the outputs of this subwoofer are not filtered, thereby allowing more subwoofers to be
connected in a chain.
To build the daisy-chain, the outputs from the first subwoofer are connected to the inputs of the second
