Break-In
Although your Paradigm
®
Reference subwoofer will sound great “out of
the carton” it will sound even better when broken in. Allow it to operate
for several hours before you listen critically.
Cleaning
Paradigm
®
Reference subwoofers have a durable premium finish. To clean,
use a damp soft cloth. Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner. Avoid
getting any part of the subwoofer system wet. Do not place wet objects
(drinking glasses, potted plants, etc.) on top of the subwoofer—if allowed
to soak in, even a small amount of water may permanently damage the
subwoofer enclosure.
YOUR NEW SUBWOOFER
The ‘Watts’ (W) rating indicated on the rear panel is the maximum AC
power your subwoofer will draw when producing its maximum power
output. However, the actual wattage draw will vary with the bass
content of the program material—more if there is a lot of deep bass, less
when there is not as much bass.
Although generally not required for typical music and movie program
material, if the bass content of your program material is very loud and
more continuous in nature, we recommend connecting subwoofers with
higher wattage ratings (i.e. 1500 W) to dedicated AC circuits.
