Conventional Hook Up (Wired) 2
Subwoofer Control Panel Volume Control
The volume control runs from 0-10. We suggest the vol-
ume be set to 5 and then controlled by the subwoofer set-
ting on your receiver. When listening to movies or music
make sure that the subwoofer does not go into distortion.
You can hear this as a distorted crackling sound which is
usually caused when the subwoofer level on your receiver
is set too high. Ease the volume back so you get a good
solid bass. This will ensure the subwoofer will play for
years to come.
Crossover
As you turn the crossover control up (clockwise) you will
add upper bass. The best set up is to fill the gap between
the speakers that cannot produce lower bass. At normal
levels the speakers go down to 70- 90Hz. The control
starts at 40Hz and goes to 200Hz. We suggest around 80
Hz to start. You can add or decrease the frequency to
achieve the correct balance for either music or movies.
The control only adds higher frequency. It does not alter
the low frequency.
Phase Control
This function adjusts the phase of the
subwoofer driver. This adjustment is required to ensure
that the subwoofer and all other associated loudspeakers
operate "in sync." If your main speakers are at the front of
the room the woofers are pushing forward. If your sub-
woofer is at the front of the room the woofer will be push-
ing forward. Turn the phase control to 0. At the back of
the room the subwoofer is pushing in an opposite direc-
tion. Turn the phase control to 180 degrees and the sub-
woofer will fire in the opposite direction and be in sync. If
you place the subwoofer at the side of the room you run between 40~160
degrees. To hear bass all around the room you will have to adjust the phase
to find the best setting.
