Music
The Music listening mode is the default setting. This mode is balanced and best used for
true audio playback.
Night
The Night listening mode reduces bass output and is best used for discrete playback.
Volume
The XR subwoofers volume can be adjusted through the control app or the touch screen
control on the subwoofer itself. Any adjustment made with one method of control, will be
reflected in the other. Through the app, you get a dial allowing adjustment from -40dB
(essentially muted) all the way to +12dB (absolute maximum) with 1dB increments in
between. Volume can be adjusted by dragging the volume indicator in clockwise (volume
up) or counter clockwise (volume down) motion around the volume indicator in the center
of the screen. You can also tap the “-” button or “+” button to make 1dB adjustments if
you prefer.
Sweep
The Sweep toggle initiates a self generated tone sweep from the subwoofer. This can be
used for fine tuning or positioning of the subwoofer as well as being useful in locating
buzzes and rattles around the room. To initiate the tone sweep, simply tap the “Sweep”
toggle icon to begin the sweep process. The sweep will repeat continuously until it is
stopped. You can hold the sweep at any point by pressing the “pause” symbol that appears.
By “pausing” the sweep, the subwoofer will hold that specific frequency. This can also be
adjusted with the frequency slider and/or “-” and “+” buttons that appear when the sweep
is “on hold.” Press the “continue” button to exit these controls. This sweep can then be
resumed by pressing the “play” icon.
SETTINGS (Continued):
The following settings must be accessed via the “Settings” tab
of the Paradigm subwoofer control app. This offers maximum
convenience by enabling the adjustment of these settings
from anywhere within range of the subwoofer. This also makes
adjustments much more accurate as you can listen in real time
from your listening position as you make changes in the app.
Volume
This is another way to access the same volume and sweep
features described previously. It is only present here for
convenience as you make adjustments to your subwoofer and
can otherwise be ignored.
Low Pass Filter
Applied to the Speaker Level or RCA Left/Right inputs. Not applied
to LFE inputs. Set at a value equal to 70% of your main speaker’s
lowest rated frequency. Also experiment with higher and lower
settings. If uncertain, start with 35Hz and adjust to preference.
