Setup, calibrating and integration
W
hat’s to know? Well, first of all, setting up an SV Subwoofer is
pretty darn easy. There are a few key things to get right if you want to
get the most out of your new equipment however!
U
npacking.
You’re probably eager to fire up your sub (we’re the
same way), but take time to carefully unpack your sub. Set the box and
other protective shipping materials aside; saving them in case you ever
need to return the subwoofer for any reason. Fold your box flat for
storage even.
L
ocation. They say it’s all about location right? It’s the same with
setting up your subwoofer. So, where to put it? Go for a corner if you
can, and avoid putting your sub where it might adjoin large open areas .
Studies have shown the deepest and flattest bass response is typically
attained when a subwoofer is placed within a few feet of one of your
room’s corners. Whether you put the sub in front or to the rear of your
seating area usually makes surprisingly little audible difference. Deep
movie and music bass, like that from Dolby Digital (DD) “5.1 channel”
DVDs and digital audio is largely non-directional. You can’t tell where
it is coming from, even though you can hear, and feel it.
Hook-up (see fig. 1). There are a variety of ways to configure your
new sub. Usually, a simple mono, shielded 75 Ohm A/V RCA type
cable (a.) is used to take the subwoofer output of your DD/DTS
surround sound receiver
(b.)
and feed the low-level input of the sub’s
amp. There is no need to “split” the signal going to the sub (c.). You
can feed either one of the two amp inputs, it doesn’t matter, right or left.

NOTE: Stop now if you aren’t
TOTALLY familiar with your re-
ceiver’s manual. Ensure all power to
your equipment is off when making
these connections. Also, be certain
your power outlet can handle a mini-
mum of 600 watts. (Use of
“convenience outlets” on receivers
are
not recommended for your SVS).
