Installation

Connect the power cord from the amplier line out to Line In on Your active subwoofer. Hereby the
sound signal runs from amplier line out to Your active subwoofer. (See Fig 1 on page 12)
Functions (See Fig. 3 on page 10/11)
Volume Master/Sat
The sound level of the active subwoofer can be adjusted. Use the volume control carefully, remember
that programme material may contain very high energy.
Phase
The phase is adjustable to 0 or 180 degrees. Try both settings for preferred sound.
Crossover
It is possible to reduce the bass - adjustment from 40-120 Hz. Try different settings for preferred sound.
Placement
Your active subwoofer is designed to re-produce music information in the frequency range below 120Hz.
The human ear is not able to localize sound for these low frequencies, this is why the placement of the
subwoofer is not critical.However you can use the nature of the acoustic laws in the following ways:
a. To get the most amplication of the room itself, place the active subwoofer close to a corner at a
distance of about 10 cm from the walls. If you get to much bass please move the subwoofer out from the
corner. (See drawing A on page 8)
b. By experimenting with the placement of the subwoofer you can optimize the sound quality. One good
rule is to place the subwoofer near the satellite speakers. (See drawing B on page 8)
c. Never cover the built-in amplier.
