Low-Pass Filter/Crossover 

This control sets the frequency of the low-pass
filter, and is fully adjustable from 50 to 125Hz.
The “EXTERNAL” setting effectively removes the
filter from the network, allowing you to use
the subwoofer filter from your electronics. 

Level Control/Volume 

The Bass Level control adjusts the sound level
output of the PS.10.

Phase Switch

Determines whether the subwoofer adds or
cancels in the crossover region. The proper set-
ting changes based upon the current location
of the speaker.

Power (Off/Auto/On)

Set to ”AUTO,“ the amplifier will turn on auto-
matically when a signal is presented to the
subwoofer. The amplifier will turn off after 10
to 15 minutes of no signal. Set to ”ON,“ the
amplifier will stay on all the time. NOTE: Power
will be continuously supplied to the PS.10
while set in the ”AUTO“ position.

Line-Level Inputs

The line-level inputs incorporate a fixed 80Hz
high-pass filter. When used in conjunction with
the line level outputs, these inputs will redirect
all bass information below 80Hz from your
main speakers to the PS.10.

Speaker-Level Inputs

The PS.10 utilizes high-level inputs. The 5-way
gold-plated terminals accept spade lugs to
5/16 inch, pins, banana plugs, and up to 12-
gauge bare wire. These inputs bypass the inter-
nal high-pass filter.

Bass Driver

The PS.10 uses a 10-inch (250 mm) custom-
built bass unit with dual spiders, a coated
paper cone with butyl surround, and a die-cast
aluminum chassis. The drive unit includes a
front-mounted heat sink that draws heat away
from the voice coil, yielding better power han-
dling capabilities.

Handmade Cabinets

Our cabinet department hand assembles each
unit, and then hand sands each several times.
The result is a cabinet of exceptional workman-
ship, with sharp corners and smooth sides.

Veneers

We use premium, book-matched veneers in our
oiled cabinets, chosen for grain consistency
and aesthetics. A pair of speakers uses wood
veneer from the same tree, so grain patterns
are consistent. Our cabinet shop sequences the
veneer, maintaining a match for the top,
right/right, and left/left sides of each pair of
speakers. We even go so far as to veneer the
inside of the cabinet. This way, as the cabinet
experiences changes in humidity in your home,
it won’t warp or come apart at the edges.
