Getting Started
The Dungeness subwoofer is a compact powered subwoofer with a 25-watt integrated amplifier designed to
be used ideally with Orca Fullrange speakers. It is designed for maximum flexibility in regards to placement
options.
Included in your purchase of the subwoofer are 2 lengths of thin gauge speaker wire to help you
get this new addition to your sound system up and running quickly and easily.
When used properly, your
subwoofer will give you years of enjoyment.
Placement
Use common sense when placing your Dungeness subwoofer. Place it on a fi rm, level surface. If it is on a shelf
or cabinet, ensure that the fi xture can support the weight of the subwoofer and that there is adequate ventila-
tion around the subwoofer’s amplifi er. Avoid placing the Dungeness where it may be exposed to excessive heat.
Long-term exposure to sunlight can aff ect the cabinet’s fi nish.
For best performance, a single Dungeness should be placed between your Orca speakers. A pair of subwoofers
should be placed as close to each speaker as possible: underneath or side by side. If you need to place the sub-
woofer on the fl oor, separated from your speakers, be sure to keep it slightly behind or in line with the speakers
and not in front of them in order for your system to sound its best. It’s recommended that you isolate your
speaker cabinets from your source components, be it digital or analog.
