With this switch set to AUTO, when not in use the subwoofer shuts down to
save power and switches on when it senses a signal. This can be over-ridden
by switching ON.
The Phase Switch (2) changes the phase of the subwoofer so that it works in
phase with the rest of the speakers in the system. Place the subwoofer more
than 1 metre away from the front speakers and switch the phase between 0°
and 180°. When the subwoofer sounds louder and fuller then it is in phase.
The Crossover Control (3) changes the pitch at which the subwoofer starts to
work. It is recommended that the crossover point is set to the ‘AV’ setting on
the dial when used with a Q Acoustics system. If you are using the subwoofer
with a non Q Acoustics system then you can change the crossover point to suit
your system.
The Level Control (4) increases or decreases the volume of your subwoofer in
relation to the other speakers in the system. Start with the volume at 0 on the
dial then turn it up slowly until you can hear it. The subwoofer should be heard
as part of the overall sound and not overpower the rest of the system. There is
no rule for setting the volume on your subwoofer so experiment with different
music and films to set it to your tastes.
The Line Level Input-LFE (6) is Q Acoustics preferred AV connection to the
amplifier.
Connect the subwoofer to the output on your AV amplifier or DVD player. Use R
and L if your amplifier output is split left and right.
