Low-Pass Filter/Crossover 

This control sets the frequency of the low-pass
filter, and is fully adjustable from 50 to 125Hz.
The “EXT” (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.10mk2. It is located on the
front of the cabinet, behind the grille.

4

Grasp the top and bottom edges of the grill
and pull it straight off the front of the cab-
inet. A typical setting for the control is
around the 12 o’clock position.

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

The main power switch is located next to the
power cord socket. Push in the top side of the
switch to turn on the main power to the sys-
tem. Push in the bottom side to turn off the
main power. Usually the only time the main
power switch should be turned off is when the
subwoofer will not be used for an extended
period of time, such as when you are away on
a vacation.

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.10mk2.

Speaker-Level Inputs

The PS.10mk2 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. When main speakers are
connnected to the speaker level outputs, all
bass information below 80 Hz is filtered out.

Bass Driver

The PS.10mk2 uses a 10-inch (250 mm) cus-
tom-built bass unit with dual spiders, a coated
paper cone with butyl surround, and a die-cast
aluminum chassis. The driver has a front-
mounted heat sink that draws heat away from
the voice coil, increasing power capacity.

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, cho-
sen for grain consistency and aesthetics. Our
cabinet shop sequences the veneer, maintain-
ing a match from the left side, across the top,
to the right side of the speaker. We even
veneer the inside of the cabinet. This way, as
the humidity in your home changes, the cabi-
net won’t warp or separate at the edges. 

Turn On Mode

This switch controls the automatic power up
function. When the switch is set to Auto On,
the amplifier will power up when it  senses an
input signal. If no input signal is present, the
amplifier switches to low power standby mode
after 8-10 minutes. The LED next to the Power
switch lights green when the amplifier is on,
and yellow when it is in standby mode. Put the
switch in the Always On position to defeat the
automatic power down feature.
