CAUTION:
Please read all the following instructions, otherwise damage may be caused to your system.
a. Protection Circuitry
• If the “Protection” circuit in the amplifier is activated, it indicates one of the following situations has occurred:
i.
The amplifier detects that the subwoofer is in danger of overheating and has temporarily shut down to protect
the woofer. The amplifier will return to “Active” without any intervention necessary.
ii.
A fault in the wiring, the speaker, or the amplifier. If the amplifier remains off, turn the power button off and then
on. If the amplifier returns to the protection mode, turn the amplifier off and refer to the troubleshooting section
of this manual.
b. Front Panel Controls
i. Volume Control
Use this to match the output of the subwoofer to that of the main speakers in the system. We recommend that
you play a variety of material before selecting a setting. Start with the control in the “Off” position (completely
counterclockwise) and slowly turn it up.
NOTE:
Turning the volume up slowly will prevent possible damage to
the woofer from the system being run too “hot”. Very little movement of the knob is needed.
CAUTION:
If a
popping sound (clipping) is audible through the subwoofer, it is being over driven, reduce the volume of the
amplifier, or speaker damage may occur!
c. Rear Panel Controls
• The following controls allow you to blend the sound wave output of the Sub8 Rox to the output of the main speakers
in your system.
i. Power Switch
The switch marked “Power” on the rear panel of the amplifier will turn off all amplifier circuitry and override the
auto sense mode in the off position.
NOTE:
See paragraph v., below, before turning on the amplifier.
ii. Low Frequency (Low Pass) Crossover
Use this control to adjust the upper frequency limit of the Sub8 Rox. The purpose is to control the overlap of
the Sub8 Rox’s upper frequencies and the main speaker’s lower frequencies. If the you are using the built-in high
frequency (High Pass) crossover by connecting speakers to the speaker output connectors this control will not
affect the fixed 75Hz setting.
