THE ACTIVE SUBWOOFER MAGNAT TEMPUS SUB 300A
This subwoofer has been adapted to provide the best visual and acoustic match to the MAGNAT
TEMPUS range of loudspeakers. However, it goes without saying that it may be combined with other
loudspeakers.
When connecting your loudspeaker, please make sure that everything has been switched off.
Furthermore, make sure that all loudspeaker cables are connected to the proper poles, i.e. the
positive pole for the output is connected to the positive pole for the input and the negative pole with
the negative pole. Please also refer to your receiver‘s/amplifier‘s and loudspeakers‘ instructions.
POSITIONING
The frequency range reproduced by the subwoofer cannot be pinpointed by the human ear. That‘s
why positioning generally doesn‘t present any problems. However, it is preferable to place the
speaker close to the front loudspeaker in front of the listening position. You should also make sure
that the distance from the sides and from the rear to items and walls is at least 20 centimetres as
otherwise bass reproduction may be impaired.
