Mains power switch. Please take note that this switch doesn't open
the AC LOOP OUT circuit. Other devices need separate turning-off.

AC LINE IN: mains supply inlet socket with type A PowerCon
®
(blue)
connector, which guarantees a reliable, vibration-proof contact. Use
only a mains cable with suitable conductors capable of handling the
current involved, equipped with a ground conductor, marked with
the applicable, country specific, safety approvals and fitted with a
power plug certified for the actual current value.

Refer to page 16 for connector wiring instructions.
When installing make sure that it is easy to get to this socket and to
the mains plug.

AC LOOP OUT Power socket (type B gray PowerCon
®
connector)
which allows you to link other devices to the mains power (max.
current available: 13.7A).
CAUTION: the power supply PowerCon®
socket (2) is rated for a 20 A maximum current. The maximum
current that may be sourced from the 'AC LOOP OUT' socket
is
13.7A.
If the 'AC LOOP OUT' socket is used to supply power to other devices,
it is the user's responsibility to verify that:
– this maximum current drain is not exceeded,
– the power cord assembly is made by a qualified technician in
compliance with the national regulations in force for electrical systems.

X-OVER switch allowing the selection of the X-Over slope
(24dB / 12dB). The X-Over frequency is always set to 100 Hz.
The filter is a Linkwitz-Riley type.
Button up:
the slope is at 24dB/oct.
Button down:
the slope is at 12dB/oct

PHASE switch: by using it the absolute phase of the subwoofer may
be reversed, allowing the use of satellite loudspeakers with a non-
standard phasing, or multi-subwoofer installation, avoiding possible
phase cancellations.

VOLUME: input level control. It allows to set the input sensitivity of
the built-in power amplifier. Turning this control fully clockwise (to
its maximum level) it sets the input sensitivity to 0dBu.
