AC Power Connection

 Depth i’s Master Power switch, Fuse, and AC Power receptacle.

Replacing the Fuse

WARNING!

 The power cord should not be 

installed, removed, or left detached from the 

subwoofer while the other end is connected to 

an AC power source.

The  IEC  cord  should  be  firmly  inserted  into  the  AC 

power receptacle on the rear connection panel of the 

subwoofer,  then  to  any  convenient  AC  wall  outlet. 

Directly adjacent to the AC power receptacle on the rear 

connection panel of the subwoofer is a master power 

switch. This switch is wired directly to the AC main and 

turns on/off all power going to the subwoofer. The Depth 

i also integrates a signal sensing power supply that will go 

to Standby mode after a few minutes of no music signal if 

the front-panel power switch is set to 'Auto'.

Your subwoofer is wired for the power service supplied in 

the country of original consumer sale. The AC power rat-

ing applicable to a particular unit is specified both on the 

packing carton and on the serial number plate attached 

to the subwoofer.

If you remove your subwoofer from the country of original 

sale, be certain that AC power supplied in any subsequent 

location is suitable before connecting and operating 

the subwoofer. Substantially impaired performance or 

severe damage may occur to the subwoofer if opera-

tion is attempted from an incorrect AC power source. 

If the fuse in your subwoofer should require changing, 

turn your subwoofer off and unplug it before removing 

the fuse. Replace the bad fuse (figure 15) with a matching 

T 4A H 250V (T 2A L H 250V if you are in a region using 

230v–240v mains voltage).

Break-In

Our custom made woofers require approximately 50 

hours of break-in at moderate listening levels before their 

optimal performance occurs. This will factor in on any 

critical listening and judgment.
