CAUTION
To prevent electrical shock do not use the electrical plug of your Totem Subwoofer with an extension
cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent exposure. To
protect against the risk of electrical shock do not use near bathtubs, sinks, swimming pools, saunas,
in wet basements, near other water sources, or rain. If service is required, please refer to your
Totem Authorized Dealer.
WARNING
All connections must be made before the Totem subwoofer is turned on.
Use the GAIN dial and or switch to match the loudness of the subwoofer to main speakers. Generally, the
final position is set between 9 and 12 o’clock. For optimum performance it is recommended that you do
not turn the unit too loud during a break-in period of about 95 hours.
Use the PHASE dial and or switch to adjust the phase of the Totem subwoofer to your main speakers.
When in phase the system will give a much fuller bass response. If your main speakers become brighter
than usual it means the system is out of phase and needs readjusting. The simplest way to adjust the
phase of your system is to have a second individual to vary the PHASE dial and or switch as you are sitting
in the listening positioning.
