B112V2/B110V2 Subwoofer
Quick Start Guide
B112V2/B110V2 OVERVIEW
(Note: B112V2 and B110V2 rear panels are identical)
Input connectors:
Connect these to the outputs of a stereo preamp or
connect a surround processor's subwoofer output to either the left or right
input. Balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) connectors are available. The
inputs are 0dBV nominal to +12dBV max unbal/+18dBV max bal. The XLR
input is pin 2 hot.
Low Pass Crossover:
The variable 50Hz – 150Hz crossover determines
the frequency at which the subwoofer blends to the main speakers. When
the control is turned to “LFE” the crossover is by-passed and all crossover
settings are now set in the Processor or AVR menu.
NOTE: This control does not limit the frequency range of the main speakers
in the system. Adjust the Low-Pass Crossover control to properly blend to the
satellite speakers. When the blend is correct, notes of instruments and voice
in the crossover region should sound correct in level; not too loud relative to
the subwoofer frequencies or satellite frequencies, but also not too soft.
Subwoofer Gain control:
Use this control to adjust the volume of the
subwoofer relative to the system’s other speakers.
Parametric Equalization (PEQ) controls:
This set of equalization controls
adjust for the dominant room mode at your listening position in your specific
listening room. The parametric equalizer includes variable controls to adjust
Frequency, Bandwidth, and EQ Level of one band of frequencies. To use these
controls, you must first set the EQ switch to “ON”.
NOTE: Specific measurement equipment is required to properly adjust the
Equalization controls. Your authorized REVEL
®
dealer can make the appropriate
measurements, using suitable equipment to ensure optimal results.
EQ Frequency control:
selects the center frequency of the particular
problem area. The range is from 32Hz to 100Hz.
EQ Bandwidth control:
sets the range of frequencies over which the
equalizer will have an effect. The range is from 0.1 octaves to 0.6 octaves; the
higher the number the broader the range of frequencies that will be affected.
EQ Level control:
Allows you to adjust how much boost or cut is applied
to the selected frequency by the EQ Frequency Control. This control adjusts
from -12dB to a maximum of +3dB.
EQ On/Off switch:
Enables/Disables the parametric EQ controls
(Frequency, Bandwidth, and EQ Level, but not Phase).
Extended On/Off switch:
In the extended mode (ON), the -3 dB point is
shifted from 29.5 Hz to 22.7 Hz in the B112V2 and from 32 Hz to 23.7 Hz in
the B110V2.
NOTE: Using the extended setting will lower the maximum volume
level the subwoofer can achieve. If you hear bass distortion during loud
passages, discontinue use of the “extended” setting.
Phase switch:
adjusts the phase of the subwoofer’s output relative to
the front speakers. Proper phase adjustment can also depend on variables
such as the subwoofer placement and listener position. Set this switch for
maximum mid-bass output at the primary listening position.
12V Trigger In/Out connectors:
When the subwoofer’s Power Mode
Switch is set to “Trigger,” the subwoofer will automatically turn on when
5V – 12V is present at the 12V Trigger In connection and will turn off when
the voltage at this connection is removed. Whenever the subwoofer is on, a
12V trigger signal is available at its 12V Trigger Out connector for use with
additional Performa3V2 subwoofers, or another triggerable device.
Power Mode switch:
determines how the subwoofer will turn on and off:
• When this switch is set in the “Auto” position and the Power switch
is set to “On,” the subwoofer will automatically turn on when it first
detects an audio signal at any of its inputs, and will automatically
enter the standby mode after it has received no audio signal for ten
(10) minutes.
• When this switch is set in the “On” position, the subwoofer will turn
on when the Power switch is set to “On” and will remain on until the
Power switch is set to “Off.”
• When this switch is set in the “Trigger” position and the Power switch
is set to “On,” the subwoofer will automatically turn on when a voltage
is present at the 12V Trigger In connection and will remain on as long
as the voltage is present. When the voltage at the 12V Trigger In
connection is removed the subwoofer will automatically turn off.
Power Mode indicator:
The LED glows green when the power switch
is set to On and there is signal at the input and/or a 12V trigger present. If
the power switch is set to On but there is no signal after ten (10) minutes or
there is no trigger voltage, then the LED will glow red. It will be unlit if the
power switch is set to Off or the unit is receiving no power.
Power switch:
When this switch is set to “On,” the subwoofer’s on/off
status is dependent on the setting of the Power Mode switch (see above).
When the Power switch is set to “Off” the subwoofer is turned off and
cannot turn on automatically.
We suggest setting the Power switch in the “Off” position if you will not be
using the subwoofer for a long period of time, such as when you’re on vacation.
