SAFETY WARNINGS AND
QUICK INSTALLATION
We know you are eager to hear your new Paradigm subwoofer, so this
section is provided to allow fast and easy set up. Once you have your
subwoofer operational, please take the time to read, in depth, the rest
of the information in the enclosed manual. It will give you perspective on
how to attain the greatest possible performance from this most exacting
woofer system.
If you should experience any difficulties in the setup or operation of your
Paradigm subwoofer, please refer to the Room Acoustics, Placement
or Operation sections of the enclosed owner’s manual. Should you
encounter a persistent problem that cannot be resolved, please
contact your authorized Paradigm dealer. They will provide you with the
appropriate technical analysis to alleviate the situation.
Unpacking
Remove your new subwoofer from its packaging. Please retain the
original packaging materials for future use — replacement packaging
may be expensive.
Placement
You may choose to begin by placing the subwoofer in a corner near the
front of the room. If placed in a corner, align the subwoofer diagonally
so both woofers are equidistant from the adjacent wall. Before deciding
on a permanent corner placement, experiment with other positions.
Locations away from corners often prove more effective in providing
ideal low-frequency performance and blend with the main speakers.
Please see the Placement section for details.
Signal Connection
Use the best cables you can. High quality cables, available from your
specialty dealer, are recommended and will give you superior performance.
Attach your Preamp/Receiver outputs to the signal input connectors
located on the subwoofer’s rear panel. Please see the Controls and
Connections section for details. If you plan to connect your subwoofer
using Speaker Level (high level) inputs, refer to the Speaker Level Inputs
section for details.
Power Connection (AC) (see warning)
Make sure the level knob is set at 0. Plug the subwoofer into a wall outlet.
Review the AC Power Connection section of this manual for details.
