Your new Chrysalis subwoofer provides for a number of installation options. Read all the installation information below in order to
determine which installation option is best for your system.
Remember to perform all installation procedures with system power turned
off to prevent possible damage.
P l a c e m e n t
The first step in installing your new Photon is to determine where it will be placed in the room. Unpack the system carefully and use the
following guidelines in order to find the best room placement option.
True subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies which are primarily omni-directional. Keep in mind that frequency response and
output level can be
drastically
influenced by placement, depending on the acoustic properties of the listening room. To obtain optimum
output from your subwoofer, place it within a foot of a corner. This location will offer the greatest output levels and optimum low frequency
extension. If at all possible, your subwoofer should be placed along a wall. The worst location for a subwoofer is typically far away from any
walls and close to the center of your room. Avoid these locations when possible. When using a pair of Chrysalis subwoofers in stereo, it is
preferable to place each subwoofer near the satellite of the same channel.
Depending on the size and type of furnishings in the room, perfect placement may not be possible. Finding the best location within your
environment will likely require some experimentation. We suggest you experiment with the location during setup to find what sounds best to
you when seated in your typical listening position.
Regardless of where you install your Chrysalis subwoofer, it must remain in an upright position (woofer facing forward). Using, shipping or
storing the subwoofer in any other position for an extended period of time may result in damage to the unit not covered by warranty.
Caution!
This subwoofer has electronics built into the cabinet. Do not place the cabinet next to sources of heat such as furnace registers, radiators, etc.
Do not place the unit near sources of excessive moisture, such as evaporative coolers, humidifiers, etc. The power cord should be routed in such
a way that it will not be walked on, pinched or compressed in any way that could result in damaging the insulation or wire.
