1 Gain Bass
Use this knob to adjust the subwoofer’s volume. When set to the 12 o’clock
position, the subwoofer’s volume is matched to the PULSAR powered mid/
high units’ levels to achieve a balanced audio image with an evenhanded
distribution of low and midrange frequencies. If you want to boost or cut
the subwoofer’s volume, simply turn the knob to the left or right (control
range +/-6 dB).
2 Confi guration
The Confi guration switch voices the PL 118 Sub A for use with other
PULSAR series products.
Set the switch to the position shown below to optimize the powered
PULSAR sub for use with a powered PULSAR mid/ high unit.
Set the switch to the position shown below to operate two powered
PULSAR subs with one powered PULSAR mid/ high unit. In this setting, the
levels of the two Line Out Mid/High outputs are boosted by up to 6 dB to
bring up the one mid/ high unit’s volume level to that of two powered
PULSAR subs, thereby achieving a balanced audio image.
3 X-Over Bass
The X-Over switch lets you set the upper corner frequency of the PL 118 Sub
A‘s onboard x-over to either 100 Hz or 120 Hz. Your choice of setting will
depend on the conditions in the venue and the type of audio signal.
4 Phase
The Phase switch matches the PL 118 Sub A’s phase position to that of
connected mid/ high units (0°/180°). Always set it to 0° when operating the
subwoofer with PULSAR mid/ high units. You may have to invert the phase
180° to operate it with other speakers.
5 Line Out Mid/High L/R
Use these two electronically balanced XLR outputs to connect powered
PULSAR mid/ high units.
6 Auto Sleep
The PULSAR subwoofer‘s Auto Sleep is defeatable; that is, it may
be switched on and off . The built-in amp switches to standby mode
(Consumption around 0.5 watts) when the button is set to „On“ and the
unit does not receive a signal for 180 minutes. To power the PULSAR
subwoofer back up again, simply set its Power button to „Off “ for fi ve
seconds and then back to On. The subwoofer will remain up and running if
you disable Auto Sleep by setting this button to „Off “.

9 Status LED
This LED lights up green when the Power
button is set to On and the unit is getting
mains power.
This LED lights up red when the power amp’s
input signal is too high or a fault has been
detected. The LED briefl y fl ashes red to tell
you the limiters are responding to signal
peaks.
Heads up! If the Limit LED stays red while

overloaded. Turn down the signal level! If
you are not routing a signal in and the Limit
LED stays red, the system has detected a
fault.
