EP175 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Step 1:
LINE IN: the RCA line-level female input, second row, accepts a
standard RCA male plug. Connect a shielded coaxial cable, with
male RCA plugs on each end, from the A/V receiver or A/V preamp
processor’s Subwoofer Output jack to the RCA LINE IN female jack
on the EP175.
3.5mm MINI-Jack: this is for any 3Volt to 30Volt power on trigger.
It is also intended for trigger-controlled operation with future Axiom
products.
BALANCED XLR LINE IN: if the A/V receiver or A/V preamp-
processor has balanced XLR subwoofer line-out connections, you
may connect a Balanced XLR male connector to the XLR female
input. Otherwise, ignore this connector. Do not use a combination
of RCA and XLR input or output connectors.
HIGH LEVEL INPUT: Use these “speaker-level” or high-level 5-way
binding post connectors only if your receiver or preamp lacks a
dedicated line-level subwoofer output jack. Connect speaker cables
from your amplifier’s left-channel and right-channel speaker output
binding posts to the high-level inputs using banana plugs (single or
dual), spade connectors, pins, or bare cable if you wish (unscrew
the top of each binding post and insert the cable into the hole in the
post; tighten the knurled knob against the cable). Run a second pair
of speaker cables from these jacks to your main left and right front
speakers. Do not use these connectors if you are already using an
RCA or XLR line-level connection from the receiver or preamp to the
subwoofer. NOTE: BE SURE TO CONNECT BLACK TO BLACK
AND RED TO RED.
Step 2:
LINE OUT (RCA, Trigger and XLR Balanced):
An RCA line-level (female) output and balanced XLR output (male)
are provided for connection to a second subwoofer. Use a standard
shielded coaxial cable for connection of the RCA Line Out to the
second subwoofer. If you are using balanced XLR connectors, then
use the balanced Line Out for operation of a second EP175.
Step 3:
CROSSOVER: if you are using the Bass Management crossover
menu settings in your A/V receiver or processor, turn this control
to “BYPASS” to eliminate the EP175 internal crossover from the
circuit.
If you are using the HIGH LEVEL (Speaker Level) binding-post
inputs, set the crossover switch to 80 Hz for initial setup. If you
have floor-standing speakers (M40, M50, or M60), try a 60 Hz
crossover frequency, for the M80 try 40 Hz. If your main speakers
are bookshelf models M3 or M22, try the 80 Hz setting, for the M2
try 100 Hz. Ultimately you want to use a crossover frequency that
produces the smoothest blend of sound between the subwoofer and
your main speakers.
Step 4:
VOLUME: Set this midway to the 9 o’clock position for initial setup.
You can use this to manually regulate the subwoofer volume at
any time and during your initial setup adjustments with the other
speakers in your stereo or home theater system.
Step 5:
ON/OFF AC POWER/VOLTAGE SETTING: Your subwoofer is
supplied with a pop-out voltage regulator set for use with 100 - 120
volts from the A/C line. It can be easily removed and turned over to
set your EP175 to 220 volts from the A/C line.
Once you have made appropriate connections from the A/V receiver
or preamp/processor to the EP175 and set the voltage regulator
to the proper voltage, find a nearby AC wall outlet and connect
the main power cord to the three-wire socket at the bottom of the
control panel. Move the power switch to the ON setting and the LED
POWER indicator should glow Green. Leave the switch at the ON
setting unless you go away for an extended period. Moving it to OFF
will shut down all power to the subwoofer.
Step 6:
0 & 180 PHASE: This synchronizes the in/out movement of the
subwoofer cone driver with the other speakers in your system. Once
you have chosen the best location for your subwoofer, try flipping
the phase switch between 0 and 180 to see if one or the other setting
produces deeper and smoother bass output in your room. Leave the
switch at the setting that results in the smoothest and deepest bass
at several listening locations in the room. If you hear no difference,
leave the switch at the 0 position. Quite often the phase switch
makes no difference, but it’s dependent on your room and subwoofer
location.
Step 7:
GROUND LOOP:
If your subwoofer is producing a 50 or 60 Hz hum; remove the
Chassis Ground Screw. If this does not solve the hum, call 1-
866-244-8796 or consult the full manual at www.axiomaudio.

POWER INDICATOR: The LED Power indicator glows Green
when it’s on and Red indicating Standby Mode.
Please Note: The EP350 will shut down if heavily over drivenin
into distortion. To reset, turn power switch OFF then ON.
