Studiophile BX10s Deluxe Subwoofer
9. XLR Outputs
These jacks accept XLR connections with either balanced or unbalanced wiring, and are used for
sending audio signal to your stereo direct-field monitors. The wiring of an XLR connector used with the
XLR Outputs should be the same as what is listed for the XLR Inputs

.
10. TRS Outputs
These jacks accept 1/4” connections with either balanced or unbalanced wiring, and are used for
sending signal to your stereo direct-field monitors. For balanced wiring, a three-conductor TRS plug is
necessary. The wiring of a TRS connector used with the TRS Outputs should be the same as what is
listed for the TRS Inputs

11. Subwoofer Bypass/Defeat
If you connect the enclosed footswitch to the Subwoofer Bypass jack on the back of the SBX10
subwoofer, you can use it selectively to bypass the low frequencies generated by the SBX10
subwoofer (including the amp, driver, and crossover), and send the full-bandwidth signal directly to
your main monitors. This way you can audition mixes with and without the low-frequency extension the
SBX10 subwoofer provides–all from the convenience of your mix position. As a visual indicator, the
LED Indicator
(2)
on the front baffle of the subwoofer flashes red when in bypass mode. (Note: You
can use any binary footswitch, such as an electronic keyboard sustain pedal, but we have provided
one for your convenience.)
12. Volume Control
Use the volume control to set the output sound pressure from the SBX10 subwoofer to proper levels
as required.
13. Power Switch
This switch turns the subwoofer on and off.
14. Power Socket
Connect the included 3-conductor AC cable to this jack, and plug the other end into an active AC
outlet.
15. AC Voltage Select Switch
Provides two selections, 115V AC and 230V AC, and should be set to match the “house supply”
(receptacle) voltage of the country or location in which the speaker is used. The 115V setting is correct
for the USA and Japan, while the 230V setting is correct for most of the UK and Europe. Make sure
this switch is in the proper position for your area before attaching the power cord.
Power Amplifier
(not pictured)
In order to generate a powerful, tight bass response, SBX10 uses a 240 watt amplifier, featuring a
custom discrete transistor architecture. The amplifier has a carefully designed damping factor which, in
conjunction with the mechanical and electromechanical systems built into the driver, helps eliminate the
natural tendency of the driver to "ring" after input signal has ceased. This results in an extremely
accurate and controlled bass response. You will notice that kick drums and staccato bass notes
reproduced by the SBX10 subwoofer are tight and solid, as though coming from a large acoustic
suspension system.
