With this function in the “active” position, your subwoofer can be safely left with the main power
switched on continuously. The subwoofer will turn itself on automatically when an audio signal
is present. If no signal is present for approximately 15 minutes, the unit will switch to standby
mode. While in standby mode, your subwoofer will draw very minimal power. This function can
be disabled by leaving the switch in the “inactive” position.
WARNING:
If the Sub-Out channel signal level from your receiver is too weak, this feature will
not operate properly. See VOLUME CONTROL section on previous page.

The master power switch is located on the lower half of the unit. This rocker style switch is the
main on/off control for the unit. This switch should be set to position 1 (up) for on, and
0 (down) for off. If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, the master power
switch should be turned off.

The MicroVee is designed to operate using the full range audio signal as input. Some
processors/receivers have a “subwoofer out” (or LFE) jack, which is the ouput of the receiver’s
crosssover, that is, signal that has already had the upper frequencies removed. Consult your
receiver’s owner’s manual on adjusting this setting. In some rare cases, combining both the
receiver’s crossover and the one internal to the subwoofer may result in low output and
increased noise. In these installations you may need to bypass the crossover in either the
processor or the MicroVee. In some installations, simply setting one crossover to a higher
frequency (such as 120 Hz) will restore maximum performance. To bypass the subwoofer’s
internal crossover when the unit is being fed a low pass signal from another crossover, simply
locate the switch marked
INTERNAL X-OVER/SUBWOOFER DIRECT
on the rear panel of the
subwoofer and set to the
SUBWOOFER DIRECT
position. This will eliminate the MicroVee’s
crossover from the signal path.
