INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations to your choise of Audio Pro subwoofer and to a new sound experience.
Audio Pro subwoofer is a unique product built with advanced technique. It is very easy to
handleandinstall.Itisequippedwiththe uniqueAudioProace-bass techniquethatincombination
with the built-in amplifier, the long throw woofer and the extremely solid cabinet offers a natural
and deep bass reproduction at sound levels you never thought existed.
The Audio Pro subwoofer offers extraordinary performance and lots of possibilities. In order
to get the most out of your new subwoofer, we recommend you to spend time and carefully read
these instructions before you connect and start up your system.
What is ace-bass ?
Normally,speaker design is boundto follow the laws ofphysics. The consequencewill be, to get
deep bass, the speakerbox must be very large. With the ace-bass technique we can "change"
the laws of physics in the way that the driver believes it is placed in a much larger speaker box.
Furthermore, the ace-bass technology improves the driver performance. With the ace-bass
technique, we can design smaller subwoofers with deeper and cleaner bass.
2. INSTALLATION
Therearedifferent methods to connect yoursubwoofer to a HiFi / Home Theater system.Inthe following we explain
2 different ways. NOTE! Do not connect the mains cord until all other installation is completed.
2.1 To an amplifier / pre-amplifier with Subwoofer-out terminal.
Connectthe enclosed cord fromyour amplifiers subwoofer-out terminal to LINE IN(1) onthe subwoofer. (Also use the
enclosed Y adaptor for Land Rinputs)
The audio signal is passing through the cord from the subwoofer-out terminal to the built-in amplifier. By using the
LOWPASS control,theupper frequnency of the subwoofercan be variably selected from50Hz- 100 Hz.
Note:
Connect the satellite speakers to the main amplifier speaker terminals.
1. UNPACKING
Carefully unpack the Audio Pro subwoofer and check for any damages. If possible, keep the cartonbox if future
transportationisneeded.
You should immediately contact your dealer if the subwoofer is damaged .

tes. If goes on automatically if signal is detected.
In ON mode: The amplifier will be constanly ON.
Main Power indicator: (6)
The red indicator shows the operation status of the
subwoofer. Red light - subwoofer is on or in standby
mode.

variably between 50 and 100Hz. This gives you a
unique possibility to perfectly match the Subwoofer to
your satellite speakers. The lowest frequencies will be
reproducedonlybythesubwoofer.
Phase adjustment (3):

4. PLACEMENT 5. TROUBLESHOOTING
If you should face any problem with the sub-
wooferfunction, pleasecheck following points.
If the problem remains after checking these
points, please contact your dealer.
1. Check that all connections have been made
properly. Check if any of the cables are
damaged or short-cirquit.
2. Audio Pro subwoofers has a sophisticated
overload protection. This protects your
subwoofer from damages caused by to high
volume setting.
Your Audio Pro subwoofer is designed to
produce music information in the frequency
range below 100 Hz. The human ear is being
devoided the ability to localize sound of these
lowfrequencieswhy the placement of the sub-
woofer is not critical. Audio Pro subwoofers
steep lowpass filters make the placement
easier to fit into your listening room. However
you can use the nature of the acoustic laws in
the following ways:
1. To get the most amplification of the room itself,
place the subwoofer close to a corner at a
distance of about 10 cm from the walls. If you
get to much bass, move the subwoofer slightly
out from the corner or adjust the level.
2. By experimenting with the placement of the
subwoofer, you can optimize the sound quality.
One good rule is to place the subwoofer at the
same wall as the satellite speakers.
3. Never cover the subwoofer or place it where the
built-in amplifier will be covered.
