manual setup procedure below.

manual receiver setup 

Ensure subwoofer is set to ON or YES in your 
receiver setup (Refer to your receiver/processor 
manual for more information).

Use default subwoofer channel level setting on 
your receiver. 

On your receiver 

select desired crossover 

frequency/low pass setting. As a guide use the 
80Hz setting. 

If your speakers are small (bass driver is 
smaller than 5 1/4”) use a higher setting 
(100Hz,120Hz,150Hz) to send more of 
the bass information to your subwoofer. 
Consult your receiver manual for further 
bass management options and settings. 

manual subwoofer calibration

When using the subwoofer in a home theatre 
installation it is beneficial to listen to movies 
with extended periods of low bass (explosions, 

rumbles etc). This will allow you to evaluate 
the ‘impact’ and ‘depth’ of your subwoofer. It 
is also beneficial to select music that is familiar 
to you when carrying out listening tests. As a 
suggestion play clean unprocessed recordings 
that use double bass, bass guitar, cellos, organ 
or kick drum etc. that cover a wide bass 
spectrum. 

Begin by playing the movie/music and slowly 
adjust the volume setting on the subwoofer to 
your desired level. 

For final tweaking of your subwoofer 
level you may wish to sit in the primary 
listening position and adjust the 
subwoofer channel level using your 
receiver’s remote control. (Refer to your 
receiver’s manual for more information)

Now set the phase setting. The correct phase 
setting will produce the most bass. You may 

Tip

Tip

need to listen to a variety of recordings to hear 
any subtle change in bass energy. If no change 
in bass energy can be heard between phase 
settings, set phase to 0° default setting. 
Re-adjust volume if necessary.
