Subwoofer controls
Y
Phase
This switch determines the phase relationship
between the subwoofer and the front/centre speak-
ers. If the subwoofer is positioned in the speaker
setup as indicated on p. 9 (grey area of drawing), set
the phase to 0°. With other setups, the 180° setting
may produce better results.
U
Frequency
Use this control to set the crossover frequency be-
tween the subwoofer's bass signal and the bass fre-
quencies of the other speakers. If you are using an
AV receiver, set the receiver's crossover frequency
to 80 Hz and turn the subwoofer's frequency control
to maximum (hard right).
I
Power
OFF means that the subwoofer is switched off; ON
means that it is switched on.
O
Power LED
When the subwoofer's mains power switch
I
is
off, the power LED is off. When the subwoofer's
mains power switch
I
is on, the power LED lights
up red or green, depending on the position of the
Power Function switch
Q
.
When the subwoofer is permanently active
(= Power Function
Q
ON), the power LED is green.
When the subwoofer is in standby mode (Power
Function
Q
AUTO), the power LED is red. After
the subwoofer is triggered into activity, the LED
changes to green. After the subwoofer switches
itself off after 20 minutes of inactivity, the LED is
red again. When the Power Function switch
Q
is
set to OFF, the LED is red.
P
Voltage selector
This switch adapts the internal amplifier to the
local mains voltage. NEVER set this to any other
value than the standard local voltage value. In
Germany, the correct position is “220 – 240V”.
{
Fuse
This is where the mains power fuse is located.
Q
Power Function (automatic)
OFF means that the subwoofer is switched off; ON
means that it is switched on. AUTO means that the
subwoofer is operational but is only activated once
it receives an audio signal. In “AUTO” mode, the sub-
woofer automatically switches to standby after 20
minutes of inactivity.
W
Line Input
Connect the AV receiver's “Sub Out” to the subwoof-
er's “Line Input” using a mono RCA cable (optionally
with an additional Y adapter).
E
Line Output
Here you can connect a second subwoofer for added
bass or to compensate for resonant frequencies in
the room.
R
Low Pass – Full Range
With the switch on “LOW PASS”, the built-in con-
trols for “Phase” and “Frequency” are activated.
With the switch on “FULL RANGE” (recommended
setting), these parameters
are controlled by the AV receiver.
T
Level
Use the “LEVEL” control to adjust the subwoofer's
volume. In the receiver's bass management sec-
tion, set the bass level to a high value, i.e., be-
tween +6 and +12 dB. Next, set the subwoofer's
level control to 1/4. While the AV receiver is out-
putting its white noise setup signal, slowly turn
up the subwoofer level to the desired volume.
