System Installation Considerations
There are several factors to consider before installing
Earthquake Sound’s Supernova Subwoofer.
What are the intended listening zones?
From where in each zone will the listener prefer to
control the system? Where will the subwoofer be
located?
Where will the source equipment be located?
Safe & Proper handling
The Supernova subwoofer is considerably heavy for
an average person to carry or maneuver. To prevent
injuries and eliminate any possible damage to your
Supernova, we encourage you to employ the help of
a friend when unpacking the unit. We further suggest
the following:
A lways wear a back support belt when
carrying/lifting the Supernova.
If possible, get someone to help you move the
Supernova.
Do not apply pressure or push against the face of
the speaker as this will cause irreparable damage
to the cone and suspension.
Connection Tips
Keep all power cords away from all signal cables
to prevent humming from induced noise.
Choose reliable signal cable cords (Earthquake
Sound also specializes in high performance RCA
cables and patches).
All speaker wires that are ran through the walls
should be twisted type to reduce potential hum
noise pick-up.
It is best to use a grounded electrical outlet to
power the amplifier. Lack of input ground
reference could be unsafe. Consult with your
electrical contractor about proper grounding.
When carrying the Supernova, make sure that the
speakers/grilles are away from your chest,
eliminating the chance of pushing against the face
of the speaker.
Do not drop the Supernova or subject it to sudden
shocks. This will damage the external finish and
weaken the enclosure, creating air leaks.
Avoid exposing the Supernova to moisture. Water
will damage the wood structure as well as the
amplifier and speakers.
Cleaning the Supernova is best done using soft
cloth. If needed, use mild detergent with water.
Like any other electrical unit, always unplug the
unit before cleaning it.
Unpacking the Supernova
The Supernova is packaged well for safety. We highly
suggest having a padded surface and at least two (2)
people to safely unpack the subwoofer.
Step 1:
On a padded surface, carefully place
the box in its side to remove the
bottom packing tape and staples.
Step 2:
Without tilting the box too much, tug
the bottom flaps outward and keep the
protective foam in place.
Step 3:
Gently reposition the box
upright.
Step 4:
Slide the box off, minding the
protective foam on the top,
