AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENTS (CONTINUED)
“AUDIO” Setting
senses a music signal to turn on the amplifier built in to
the ST series subwoofer. This setting is recommended for earlier model Wet
Sounds Stealth Sound Bars. Please note – if the source unit is powered ON,
but at “0” volume, the ST series subwoofer will likely not turn on until the
volume is increased.
2 - The Gain Adjustment
controls the sensitivity of the amplifier built in to
the ST series subwoofer. It has been included to allow adjustment to match
the output of any source unit to the input of the amplifier. Gain controls are
one of the most misunderstood adjustments. By rotating the control in the
clockwise direction, the amplifier’s input will become more sensitive and the
subwoofer output will increase.
To determine if the amplifier’s gain control is set properly, turn the
system on and slowly increase the volume control on the source unit.
Usually about ¾ volume can be reached before the system gets loud without
distortion. It is very important to not overdrive the subwoofer to the point
of distortion, which will cause permanent damage to the subwoofer. If ¾
volume without distortion is not possible, the gain should be reduced (by
decreasing the gain adjustment). Gain adjustments should be done very
slowly and carefully. The Remote Level Control should be unplugged while
the gain is adjusted, then plugged in after final adjustments are made. The
Remote Level Control will only decrease the output of the amplifier and will
not affect the gain control setting.
