Quickstart
Quick start
Start up
1. Connect the Power cord into an electric outlet and into
the back of the Subwoofer.
2. Connect the Subwoofer to Your amplifier using the
SUB OUT or PRE OUT 2 x RCA plugs on your amplifier.
3. Connect to the 2 x RCA INPUT on the subwoofer
Basic Operating
1. You can adjust the Master volume on the Subwoofer.
Experiment playing some music with different levels
until you find a volume level for the Subwoofer, that
suits you
2. You can also adjust the crossover frequency for the
Subwoofer. Feel free to experiment with different kind
of music, to find the setting that suits your taste.
3. Auto ON/OFF function can be activated or deactivated.
It is recommended to put it in Auto function. In this
setting the Subwoofer will go into stand-by
automatically if there is no sound signal for 10
minutes. This will save power.
4. The phase switch is a function that allows you to
optimize the subwoofer best to the main speaker
location. Listen in your sweet spot, and let someone
switch between 0 and 180. If you hear no difference in
bass performance then your placement of main
speakers and subwoofer is optimal, leave the switch at
0 setting. If you get more bass in 180 setting, it is
generally correct to leave the switch in the 180 setting.
Speaker positioning
Variations in placement of loudspeakers can produce
dramatic differences in the way music sounds. No listening
room is the same and therefore we encourage you to spend
some time experimenting with which placements work best
in your listening room. Positioning of Subwoofers is
however less critical compared to full-range loudspeakers,
because the low frequencies reproduced by a subwoofer
can be difficult to locate in the room.
If the Subwoofer is placed close to a wall or in a corner, the
bass sound will be enhanced.
We generally recommend placing the subwoofer on the
same wall as your main speakers for best integration.
A corner placement will give you the most bass output.
Running-in period
We recommend a running-in time of your Argon Audio
subwoofer of approximately 15-20 hours at normal listening
level before you decide on the final positioning of the
subwoofer. During the running-in time the driver unit will
settle in and perform as intended.
