Output terminals

The output terminals (Left & Right) provide a fi ltered output signal with a crosso-
ver frequency of 70 Hz and cut off with a 2nd order high-pass fi lter. This set of ter-
minals can be used if the subwoofer is used together with the speaker driven by a 
separate amplifi er, if you want only the frequency range over 70 Hz to be handled 
here, e.g. to protect the speaker system against very low frequency content - low 
frequencies which the 

AS 2

 has been selected to deal with.

Other functions

The 'Power' button is the main switch for the system. You should switch off the 
system completely when it will not be in use for long periods. When making or 
changing connections, you must always switch off the system completely.

The 'Auto Shut Off' function places the 

AS2

 in stand-by mode after 15 minutes 

without a signal on the input. When the 

AS2

 receives a signal again, the system 

comes on automatically.

Overloading

If  you  often  play  very  loud,  you  should  be  careful  of  any  dissonance  or  distor-
tions. The 

AS2

 is protected against short-term overloading, but if you oftentend to 

overdrive the system, you should use a permanently lower setting on the volume 
level control on the 

AS2

. Repeat any phase adjustment to improve the connection 

between the front speaker and subwoofer. It may be this fi ne adjustment which 
provides the desired deep bass level.
