The second subwoofer will not require any 

connections to its line level inputs, as it 

receives the audio through its slave input.

10. Power Switch

The power switch is used for installing 

and uninstalling the subwoofer, and for 

power conservation during long vacations. 

Leave it switched on at all times for normal 

operation.

After a period of inactivity, i.e. with no input 

signal, the subwoofer will automatically turn 

itself to standby mode, where it is effectively 

muted. It can turn back on automatically 

when an input signal is applied, or if a 12 

VDC trigger voltage is applied to the trigger 

inputs, or if the start button is pressed.

11. IEC Line Cord Socket and 

Fuseholder

The subwoofer comes with a detachable line 

cord that connects here. be sure to use the 

linecord approved for your region / location.

The subwoofer is supplied with a 

conservative slow blow type fuse to protect 

the electronics.

Always unplug the power cord before 

inspecting or changing the fuse. Never use a 

fuse with a larger current rating than shown 

on the markings next to the fuseholder.

12. Line Voltage Selector 

Switch 

This switch allows the subwoofer to be  

set to the local region AC mains voltage. 

The AC voltage option has been factory 

configured for 100~120v. Should the AC 

voltage need to be changed to 220~240v, 

please complete the following steps:

Always unplug the power cord and all other 

connections, before moving this switch. 

Loosen the screw on the protective cover, 

slide the cover away and the slide switch 

can be adjusted. Make sure to replace the 

protective cover when done.

ONLY MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT IF THE 

SUbWOOFER WILL bE CONNECTED 

TO A VOLTAGE SUPPLY OF bETWEEN 

220~240VAC @50Hz.

Incorrect setting of this switch can  

cause catastrophic circuit failure.

13. EQ LED

This LED provides feedback during 

the Room EQ procedure. It also lights 

continuously whenever the subwoofer  

is not in standby.

14. Start button

Used to initiate the automatic Room EQ 

procedure. See page 12 for complete details 

on the Room EQ procedure.

15. EQ On/Off Switch

This switch is used to turn the EQ on or off. 

It allows you to easily judge the effect of the 

EQ on the subwoofer performance.

16. Microphone Input

This is the input connection for the supplied 

linear measurement microphone used during 

the automatic EQ calibration procedure.

17. Power LED

This red LED indicates when the subwoofer 

is connected to AC power. When a 12 V 

trigger voltage or an audio signal is applied, 

this LED goes out and the blue EQ LED 

lights up.
