POWERING UP

the source volume to the desired level.
SIGNAL/LIMIT/LEVEL
• The SIGNAL LED will light green when input audio is detected.
• If the limiter is triggered, the LIMIT LED will turn RED, indicating the
VOLUME knob should be turned down to avoid distorted sound.
• If the LIMIT LED comes on when the VOLUME knob is already at a low
level, try setting the LEVEL switch to +4, and see information regarding
LEVEL switch on facing page.
POLARITY/TIME ALIGNING DELAY
• Set up your system, and play audio through the system to evaluate the
low frequency response.
• Try POLARITY set to NORMAL, then REVERSE, and leave the switch on the
setting that provides more low frequency impact.
• Turn TIME ALIGNING DELAY knob until the maximum sub bass is heard.
LINKING MULTIPLE SUBWOOFERS
• If linking multiple subwoofers, plug the OUTPUT connection(s) of the first
subwoofer to the INPUT connection(s) of second subwoofer, and continue
the daisy chain to the next speaker.
• Switch Output Crossover of first subwoofer to Full-Range Output..
• Turn the power on in the order of the audio signal to prevent unwanted
“pops”. Turn the power off in the opposite order.
