1Power input socket
Allows you to connect your amplification module to an
electrical outlet via the supplied power cord. Please
make sure the voltage delivered is compatible with your
built-in amplification module (230V) before connecting it.
2Fuse
Protects the built-in amplification module.
If need to replace it, please make sure the new one has
the exact same characteristics.
3Power button
Allows you to activate/deactivate the built-in amplifier.
4Indicator LEDs
-Power: Lights up to indicate the amplification module
is activated.
-Signal: Lights up to indicate a signal has been
detected via the module inputs.
-Clip: Lights up to indicate the signal level exceeds 0dB.
In this situation, please use the volume
control knob to decrease the volume
so this LED only lights up occasionally.
You will then benefit from a better sound
quality and avoid serious damages to your
subwoofer.
5Volume control knob
Allows you to adjust the main volume (satellites and
basses). Please make sure the CLIP LED only lights red
