Volume
Use this control to adjust the frequency you would like the Son of SUB
subwoofer to extend up to. If you are using the Son of SUB in a
surround system and the receiver or processor has a built in crossover
you should set the Son of SUB subwoofer at its maximum which is
250hz.
The best way to adjust this control is to put on some music or pink
noise and adjust the control till the system sounds good to you.
The phase control can be set at 0 or 180 degrees. A simple explanation
of this control would be that at the 0 setting when a positive signal is
sent to the woofer, the woofer cone will move out. When the control is
set to 180 degrees a positive signal will make the woofer driver move
in. This control will allow you to better integrate the Son of SUB
subwoofer and your main speakers.
The best way to adjust this control is to put on some music or pink
noise and select the setting that provides fuller bass.
The level control adjusts the output level of the Son of SUB subwoofer.
Use the built in generator in your receiver or processor and a sound
pressure level meter to calibrate your system accurately. If your
equipment does not have a built in generator you can adjust the level
by ear. Listen to music you are familiar with and set the level to your
taste.

The most predictable performance will be obtained by placing the Son
of SUB subwoofer in the front corner of the room as shown in the
illustration below. Keep the woofer in the same general area as the
left, center and right speakers to assure seamless integration of the
sound from the main speaker and the woofer.
In a two channel system the woofer should be located in a corner of
the room and as close as possible to the left or right speaker. Corner
placement of the woofer will provide more predictable performance
and higher output level.
Important:
Do not place the subwoofer where the heat sink on the
back of the woofer may come in contact with curtains or furniture !
