Owner’s guide 

Rev. 2.3

 

 

 

1.

 

The Control Hub 

 

1.

 

Status indicator 

Indicates the current status using different colors and flash modes. For 
details see section 2. 

2.

 

Power socket 

Connection for included 24V DC power supply. Make sure connector is 
firmly attached. 

3.

 

Speaker output, Actiline® Digital Link 

Do ONLY connect Actiline® enabled speakers to this output. (E.g. 
Opalum FLOW, BREEZE or STREAM series). 

4.

 

Master volume adjustment

 

The master volume can be adjusted using this rocker switch. When in 
standby, this switch can also be used to turn on the system. 

5.

 

IR/RS232

 

Connection for controlling the system through either external IR or 
RS232. 

6.

 

Analog subwoofer output

 

Optionally connect this line level output to the analog input of an active 
subwoofer. At normal listening levels adding a subwoofer is not needed 
thanks to the  Actisonic® technology. This output will sense if a 
subwoofer is attached and automatically match the sub-woofer and 
Opalum speakers using a high precision digital crossover at 80 Hz and 24 
dB/octave. If the subwoofer has its own adjustable low-pass filter it 
should be set to the highest possible frequency in order not to interfere 
with the digital crossover of the Opalum Control Hub. 

7.

 

Analog stereo line input

 

Connection for analog line level equipment (e.g. MP3-player, notebook, 
phones, etc.). This can also be used to connect the output of your 
surround receiver.  

8.

 

Digital input, coaxial*

 

Connection for digital S/PDIF equipment (e.g. computer, CD, DVD

TM

Blu-ray

TM

, flat screen TV, etc) using coaxial cabling. (These are 

trademarks of their respective owners). 

9.

 

Digital inputs, optical*

 

10.

 

Digital inputs, optical*

 

Connection for digital S/PDIF equipment (e.g. computer, CD, DVD

TM

Blu-ray

TM

, flat screen TV, etc) using optical fibre (TOSLINK

TM

). (These are 

trademarks of their respective owners). 

11.

 

IR Learning/Factory reset button

 

Button to tell the control hub to go into IR learning mode. This is also the 
button to reset the unit to factory settings. 

12.

 

Electrical IR/RS232 mode switch

 

Selects if the IR/RS232 connector is used for electrical IR or RS232.. 

 

 

 

 

 

* NOTE: 

Use uncompressed stereo PCM audio data only. Data rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz are supported in 16 and 24 
bits. Both 176.4 and 192 kHz in 16 and 24 bit are also supported using digital coax input.  If connecting a multi-channel 
source (such as a TV, DVD player, computer, etc.) setup this source to output uncompressed two channel (stereo) 
PCM data.
