Crossover Bypass 

-

 

If

 

using

 

the

 

Speedwoofer

 

for

 

home

 

theater,

 

you

 

will

 

want

 

to

 

bypass

 

the

 

Speedwoofer's

 

crossover

 

to

 

use

 

the

 

crossover

 

in

 

your

 

receiver

 

instead.

 

Simply

 

fl

ip

 

the

 

switch

 

to

 

"crossover

 

bypass."

 

In

 

applica ons

 

with

 

an

 

ampli

fi

er

 

without

 

an

 

internal

 

crossover

 

(such

 

as

 

stereo),

 

you’ll

 

need

 

to

 

use

 

the

 

Speedwoofer's

 

crossover

 

by

 

fl

ipping

 

the

 

switch

 

to

 

"internal

 

crossover".

 

At

 

that

 

point

 

you

 

can

 

adjust

 

the

 

crossover

 

frequency

 

with

 

the

 

knob.

  

 

Crossover Frequency

 

-

 

Lets

 

you

 

choose

 

the

 

frequency

 

that

 

the

 

subwoofer

 

takes

 

over

 

bass

 

re-

produc on.

 

An

 

80Hz

 

se ng

 

means

 

your

 

Speedwoofer

 

will

 

handle

 

all

 

frequencies

 

80Hz

 

and

 

be-

low.

 

An

 

80Hz

 

se ng

 

is

 

recommended

 

for

 

larger

 

bookshelf

 

speakers.

 

For

 

smaller

 

bookshelf

 

speakers,

 

we

 

recommend

 

a

 

se ng

 

of

  

90

 

-

 

100Hz.

 

Choosing

 

a

 

crossover

 

frequency

 

that’s

 

too

 

high

 

can

 

cause

 

the

 

subwoofer

 

to

 

localize.

 

Localizing

 

means

 

that

 

the

 

subwoofer

 

draws

 

a en on

 

to

 

itself.

 

You

 

shouldn’t

 

be

 

able

 

to

 

tell

  

that

 

there’s

 

a

 

separate

 

subwoofer

 

opera ng.

 

With

 

the

 

Speedwoofer

 

10S’

 

Compression

 

Guide

 

Technology,

 

you

 

can

 

set

 

a

 

higher

 

crossover

 

frequency

 

than

 

most

 

subwoofers

 

without

 

the

 

problem

 

of

 

localiza on.

 

 

Phase

 

-

 

Allows

 

you

 

to

 

slightly

 

delay

 

the

 

bass

 

through

 

subwoofer.

 

This

 

is

 

to

 

insure

 

that

 

the

 

sub-

woofer

 

blends

 

perfectly

 

with

 

the

 

rest

 

of

 

the

 

speakers.

 

The

 

bass

 

should

 

sound

 

like

 

it’s

 

coming

 

from

 

your

 

front

 

speakers

 

instead

 

of

 

a

 

separate

 

subwoofer.

 

In

 

addi on,

 

the

 

phase

 

should

 

be

 

adjusted

 

so

 

that

 

the

 

output

 

in

 

your

 

room

 

is

 

maximum

 

at

 

the

 

crossover

 

frequency.

 

If

 

you’re

 

a

 

bit

 

techy,

 

this

 

can

 

be

 

determined

 

using

 

a

 

sound

 

level

 

meter

 

and

 

a

 

pure

 

tone

 

that

 

corresponds

 

to

 

the

 

crossover

 

frequency.

  

The

 

standard

 

se ng

 

is

 

0

 

degrees,

 

but

 

some

 

experimenta on

 

may

 

be

 

needed.

  

 

Line In/LFE In 

-

 

LFE

 

stands

 

for

 

low

 

frequency

 

e

ects.

 

This

 

is

 

where

 

the

 

Speedwoofer

 

receives

 

the

 

bass

 

signal

 

from

 

your

 

receiver

 

or

 

ampli

fi

er.

 

For

 

home

 

theater,

 

use

 

a

 

single

 

RCA

 

cable

 

from

 

the

 

receiver's

 

subwoofer

 

or

 

LFE

 

output

 

to

 

the

 

Speedwoofer's

 

LFE

 

in.

 

For

 

a

 

2

 

channel

 

system,

 

use

 

a

 

stereo

 

pair

 

of

 

RCA

 

cables

 

to

 

the

 

Speedwoofer's

 

Line

 

inputs.

  

 

Line Out

 

-

 

For

 

a

 

2

 

channel

 

system,

 

this

 

feeds

 

the

 

signal

 

back

 

to

 

the

 

ampli

fi

er

 

for

 

your

 

other

 

speakers.

 

The

 

Line

 

Outs

 

can

 

also

 

be

 

used

 

to

 

connect

 

an

 

addi onal

 

Speedwoofer.

 

See

 

the

 

Dual

Speaker Level In

 

-

 

This

 

connec on

 

can

 

be

 

used

 

in

 

stereo

 

systems

 

with

 

ampli

fi

ers

 

that

 

do

 

not

 

have

 

pre-ampli

fi

er

 

outputs.

 

Connect

  

one

 

set

 

of

 

speaker

 

wires

 

from

 

your

 

receiver

 

to

 

your

 

Speedwoofer

 

and

 

another

 

set

 

to

 

your

 

main

 

speakers.

 

Use

 

the

 

Speedwoofer’s

 

internal

 

crosso-

ver

 

and

 

adjust

 

it

 

to

 

the

 

appropriate

 

frequency.

 

Do

 

not

 

use

 

this

 

connec on

 

if

 

you’ve

 

already

 

connected

 

the

 

Speedwoofer

 

using

 

any

 

of

 

the

 

other

 

methods.

 

 

Input Voltage

 

-

 

Is

 

Normally

 

set

 

for

 

use

 

in

 

the

 

U.S.

 

and

 

Canada

 

at

 

115

 

Volts

. If your country's AC 

voltage is 230

240 Volts, you must change this se ng before using the Speedwoofer. You 

must also change the fuse to a 2.5 amp fuse. See the back of the subwoofer. Unfortunately, 
failure to do this will void your warranty. 

 

Main Power Switch

 

-

 

This

 

will

 

normally

 

be

 

le

 

on.

 

When

 

switched

 

on,

 

your

 

Speedwoofer

 

will

 

go

 

into

 

standby

 

mode

 

(red

 

light)

 

un l

 

it

 

receives

 

an

 

audio

 

signal.

 

Standby

 

mode

 

consumes

 

very

 

li le

 

power

 

(around

 

1

 

wa ).

 

When

 

the

 

Speedwoofer

 

receives

 

an

 

audio

 

signal,

 

the

 

light

 

will

 

turn

 

from

 

red

 

to

 

blue.

 

When

 

the

 

Speedwoofer

 

stops

 

receiving

 

an

 

audio

 

signal,

 

it

 

will

 

return

 

to

 

standby

 

mode

 

a er

 

approximately

 

20

 

minutes.

  

 

When

 

connec ng

 

and

 

disconnec ng

 

cables

 

to

 

the

 

Speedwoofer,

 

make

 

sure

 

the

This

 

is

 

where

stored.

 

You

 

may

 

use
