The Syzygy Sub Control App
Your Syzygy subwoofer is controlled via your smartphone
through the intuitive Syzygy Sub Control App, available
as a free download from the Apple App Store or Google
Play (choose the store compatible with your phone’s
operating system).
The app’s unique SoundSculpt
technology works with
your smartphone’s microphone to detect the acoustic
landscape of your room. Measurements are calculated
using a scientific reference point so that subwoofer
output, equalization and phase can be automatically
adjusted for room-perfect bass that blends seamlessly
with the rest of the speakers in your system.
Wireless and Wired Control
Talk about high impact movies and music! Thanks to
proprietary technology, you can link up to eight Syzygy
subs using the same wireless transmitter. We’ve included
the transmitter in the box.
NOTE: Model SLF800 requires the WRM RX1 transmitter
for wireless operation, transmitter sold separately.
Your new subwoofer also offers a wired option.
Intelligent Digital Room Correction
The size and shape of your room, room furnishings and
where the subwoofer sits in the space can have a dramatic
effect on bass performance. Our Intelligent Digital Room
Correction technology automatically adjusts for these
issues, allowing you to put your Syzygy sub virtually
anywhere in the room, even hidden in a cabinet, and still
enjoy perfectly equalized, seamlessly integrated sound.
High-Quality BASH
®
Amplification
There are reasons your Syzygy sub can race nimbly
down to those low bass notes and belt them out with
such power, precision and virtually no audible distortion.
One of the reasons is proprietary Bash Amplifier
Technology. The sub’s audiophile Class A/B power amp
is regulated by a super-efficient Class D circuit.
With both technologies working in sync the sub never
has to strain to reach the low notes. Clean, effortless,
floor-shaking bass — Syzygy subs deliver everything you
expect from a great subwoofer.
Acoustic Suspension Driver Loading
Syzygy models SLF820, SLF850 and SLF870 work on a
sealed cushion of air that precisely regulates cone travel.
The woven cellulose-fiber cone diaphragm (all models)
is no slouch either when it comes to accurate and fast
reaction time. What does this all mean? Your Syzygy sub
responds smoothly and lightning fast to even the toughest
musical transitions, with far lower transient distortion
compared to traditional powered subwoofer designs.
Subwoofer Placement
Although you can place your new Syzygy sub almost
anywhere in the room thanks to our Intelligent Digital
Room Correction, there are a few guidelines. For best
sound it should sit approximately the same distance
away from the listener as the front speakers and no less
than 3´ (1 m) from the listening area. Close to a wall or in
a corner works well, leaving about 4˝ (10 cm) of space
between the sub and the wall. Placing it close to the
front (stereo) speakers is also a great option.
Adjustable Driver Configuration
To make sure you get the most out of your Syzygy sub in
any room placement there are options for configuring the
direction the driver will fire. It’s as simple as changing the
position of the subwoofer’s feet …
Downward-Firing: Suited to most applications. The sub’s
cone acoustically couples with the floor, acting as a
natural low pass filter and delivering a slight, even boost
to bass. See below for correct positioning of feet.
Forward-Firing: Ideal for discreet applications where the
sub is hidden inside a cabinet or built-in. See below for
correct positioning of feet.
CAUTION! In discreet applications allow
for a minimum of 4˝ (10 cm) in the rear
to ensure adequate air flow and prevent
overheating in the confined space.
