altering the poles of the cables (s to - and - 
to +) 

The phase is determined by several things:
-Placement of 99 W12.18 ICE 
-Placement  referred  to  the  rest  of  the 
system. 
-The crossover frequency. 
 
If the phase is not correct, a top or dip will 
be the result in the frequency response 
 
Please  note  that  the  difference  between
the lines is 18 degrees.  

 

4 Auto on 

 

  

Auto on or Always on 

   

Auto on starts the sub, when signal comes 
from  amplifier.  Always  on  keeps  the 
subwoofer on all the time. 

 

5 EQ 1 

 

  

Increases 7dB @ 25Hz  

   

Excessive use of EQ can lead to damage of 
the subwoofer, when used at high volumes 
EQ  2  and  High  Pass  filter  should  not  be 
used at same time. 

 

6 EQ 2 

 

  

Increases 7dB @ 50Hz 

 

  Excessive use of EQ can lead to damage of 

the subwoofer, when used at high volumes 
 

 
7 High Pass 

 

  

Subsonic filter 
 
Switch  ON  and  the  high  pass  is  available.  Switch 
OFF and the high pass is unavailable 

   

The  high  pass  crossover  removes  the 
deepest  part  of  the  bass  spectra.  This  is 
helpful  in  many  rooms,  since  they  may
heavily amplify the deep bass tones, which 
may lead to uncontrolled bass. 
 High  Pass  filter  and  EQ  2  should  not  be 
used at same time. 

 
8 Balanced input 

 

  

XLR 
 
Balanced input. 

     

 
9 Low level input 

 

  

RCA inputs/Line in 
Line-level  inputs  to  subwoofer.  Use  these  RCA 
jacks  to  connect  audio  signals  from  line-level 
outputs on a receiver, preamplifiers, television sets
or  a  surround  sound  decoder.  If  only  a  mono 
(single) subwoofer output is provided, connect it to 
either of input jack. 

   

Only  one  input  needs  to  be  used.  Use  of 
both increases level with 3 dB 

 

10 Standby indicator 

 

  

Turns red in standby. 
 
Turns blue when the subwoofer is on.   

     

 

11 High level input 

 

  

High-level input. 
If  your  amplifier  does  not  have  subwoofer  output 
use this input from your normal speaker output. 

     

 

12 Fuse 

 

  

Electrical fuse. Always replace with the same value! 

   

5 A 

 

13 Power switch 

 

  

Select your local mains voltage 

   

230V in EU  
110V in USA

 

 

14 Power connector 

 

  

Connector of main power 

     

 

15 Main switch 

 

  

Main switch for main power. 
 
 

   

There  is  an  automatic  switch  on  the 
subwoofer. When it senses a signal, it will 
switch  on  and  consequently  switch  to 
standby  (this  is  indicated  by  the  LED, 
which  turns  blue  when  in  operating 
mode). When no signal is present (after a 
certain time period) the amplifier switches 
to standby mode. 
 
Turn  off  the  subwoofer  if  it  is  not  in  use 
for a long period.
