4. IR RCVR jack.
This jack permits the use of SpeakerCraft
IR Receivers that use a mating Quad, 4-circuit 3.5mm plug,
such as models IRC-1.1, IRC-2.1., etc. This is particularly use-
ful when room conditions do not allow a direct view of the
built-in IR sensor on the Tantra front panel. Simple plug the
IRC-x.x into the IR RCVR jack and place it on a shelf, table
top or other location that permits a direct line of view for
aiming the handheld remote control.
5. Ext. IR Input.
The External IR Input connector on the Tantra
back panel is provided so that the unit can be controlled
along with the other components in a network IR-controlled
entertainment system. Simply connect a 3.5mm mini plug
cable from an IR output port on the network to this Ext. IR
Input jack.
OPERATION
Power
To turn the AC Power ON to the Tantra (after all connections
have been made), use the Power switch on the back panel.
This places the Tantra in a standby “Off” mode. The Power
indicator on the front panel will turn red
(See Diagram 7)
.
To turn the Tantra On to the “Active” mode, use the POWER
button on the included remote control
(Diagram 6)
. The
Power indicator on the front panel will turn green and the
unit will play. When you press POWER again, the Tantra re-
turns to the “Off” or standby mode and the Power indicator
turns red.
Equalization
Use this control to set the overall frequency balance of the
subwoofer bass frequencies with the higher frequencies
of other speakers in the system, so that it suits the listen-
ing environment and the type of music played. Press the
Equalization button to select between Movie, Rock and Jazz
in combination with various music selections. Additionally,
these parameters can be changed to suit specific types of
musical selections such as action/adventure movies, Rock,
Jazz and concert performances.
Low Pass Frequency
Use this control to adjust the low frequency range of the Tan-
tra subwoofer. Various kinds of audio material can influence
the setting, but generally the goal is to achieve a good
crossover point between the subwoofer and the main L and
R speakers. If the main speakers cannot support very much
in the low frequency range, then rotate this control to a
higher frequency setting. If the main speakers are large and

Front-Mounted Controls
can support lower frequencies, then rotate this control to
a lower setting. In general, the LPF and HPF controls should
be set close to the same frequency to achieve a seamless
match in the crossover area between the subwoofer and
the main L and R speakers.
High Pass Frequency
Use this control to adjust the lower frequency limit of the
music fed to the main L and R speakers from the Line Level
Output jacks. In general, adjust this HPF control close to
the same frequency as the LPF control so that a seam-
less match in the crossover area between the subwoofer
and the main L and R speakers is achieved, as mentioned
above.
On / Off Toggle Switch
This switch turns the HPF filters On and Off. In the Off position,
the HPF control does not function and the main L and R
speakers are fed the full range of audio frequencies, with-
out bass limitation. Use this position only if your main L and
R speakers are large full range types that can support low
frequencies at full power.
Phase
This control toggles the phase of the bass frequencies fed
to the subwoofer between 0° and 180°. Press the Phase but-
ton and then try the two modes in combination with vari-
ous audio materials. Choose the setting that offers the best
presence and definition in subwoofer output. In general, the
best position will be the one that results in the heaviest bass
output.
