PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Remote Control Overview
GAIN (VOLUME) CONTROL
The Gain (Volume) Control on the face of the TA0.1 amplier controls the degree to which the
input signal is amplied. The gain level, combined with the level of the input signal, determines
the actual volume output.
CROSSOVER (X-OVER) CONTROL
The Crossover Control on the face of the TA0.1 amplier controls the range of low-frequency
(bass) sound sent to the output device, i.e. transducer, speaker, etc. This control is only
functional when the Low Pass/Bypass Switch is in the “Low Pass” position. The range of low-
frequency sound controlled by this dial is 40 Hz to 400 Hz.
ON/AUTO/OFF SWITCH
The On/Auto/Off Switch allows the user to place the amplier into Auto On/Standby mode, On, or
Off.
When the switch is set to “Auto” and no input signal is received by the amplier, the amplier
stage will power down and go into Standby mode. Upon sensing an input signal, the amplier will
power on automatically. When set to “Auto,” insure the High/Low Input Switch is set to “Low.”
When the switch is set to “On,” the amplier will remain powered on, regardless of whether an
input signal is present or not.
When the switch is set to “Off,” the amplier will power off.
LOW PASS/BYPASS SWITCH
The Low Pass/Bypass Switch enables and disables the Crossover function and control dial of the
amplier. When the switch is in the “Low Pass” position, the amplier only passes low-frequency
sounds. When the switch is in the “Bypass” position, the amplier passes the full range of audio
frequencies.
POWER INDICATOR (LED)
The Power Indicator LED displays the power mode. If the LED is:
RED- The amplier is plugged into AC power and the On/Auto/Off Switch is switched to “On.” •
If the On/Auto/Off Switch is set to “Auto,” a red LED indicates no audio input signal has been
received by the amplier.
GREEN- The amplier is plugged into AC power and the On/Auto/Off Switch is switched to •
“On.” If the On/Auto/Off Switch is set to “Auto,” a green LED indicates an audio input signal is
being received by the amplier, or, if the On/Auto/Off Switch is set to “On,” the amplier is on.

HIGH/LOW INPUT SIGNAL SWITCH
The High/Low Switch allows the user to select the voltage level of the audio input source. For
example, if the input source is a standard home theater or stereo receiver, the switch should be
set to “High” (unless using the “Auto” setting). If the input source is an MP3 player or portable
CD player, or if you are running the amplier with the On/Auto/Off switch set to “Auto,” the switch
should be set to “Low.” For any other type of input source, begin by using the “High” setting. If
you are not receiving enough output, try the “Low” setting.
TRANSDUCER CONNECTOR
The Transducer Connector is used to connect the transducer to the amplier. This connector

SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER
The TA0.1 can be custom mounted for use in a variety of applications. By utilizing the pre-drilled holes
in the mounting plate and the Remote Control, the user can mount the amplier to almost any surface
that provides 1) access to the Remote Control, 2) access to the Input/Output Panel and the AC Panel, 3)
adequate ventilation for the amplier, and 4) the ability to remove the amplier or the Remote Control for
servicing should that become necessary.
CAUTION: Insure there are two (2) inches of clearance around the amplier. DO NOT block the
air vents. The amplier will overheat if it does not have adequate ventilation.
The following steps describe the process for mounting your TA0.1 amplier:
Determine where you want to mount/place the Remote Control.1.
Determine where you want to mount/place the amplier.2.
Holding the Remote Control in the position you determined in #1, extend the wire from the 3.
Remote Control Interface box to the amplier’s prospective location to determine if it can reach
the amplier without being overstretched or pinched in any way. If the wire cannot reach, or will be
overstretched/pinched, adjustments will need to be made in the mounting location(s).
Once an adequate location for the Remote Control and the amplier is found, attach the Remote 4.
Control using the pre-drilled holes in the corners of the box (see below). To avoid damaging the
box, use 5/8 inch or M8 size at washers.

SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER
HOME THEATER
There are several different ways to hook up your system in terms of which source material (signal)
is delivered to the amplier(s) and transducer(s). Since our inception, we have discovered that
approximately half of our customers prefer using the LFE/SUB signal with their transducers. The other
half prefer using the Right Front (RF) and Left Front (LF) signals. Additionally, there are a few people
who like to use multiple signals concurrently. In the following instructions, we provide you with general
diagrams for each of these hookup methods.
LFE/SUB Hookup
The LFE, SUB, or Subwoofer output is the signal that you send to the subwoofer.
If your receiver has only one LFE/SUB/Subwoofer output port, connect a “Y” adapter to that output.
This will allow you to split the signal between the transducer and the subwoofer. To do this properly,
connect your subwoofer to one side of the “Y” adapter. Connect the TA0.1 amplier to the other side
of the “Y” adapter. To reduce the amount of noise produced when using this signal, use another “Y”
adapter cable when connecting to the amplier. This will allow you to connect the signal into both the
Left and Right input connectors on the amplier.

Right Front (RF) and Left Front (LF) Hookup
For this hookup, connect the RF and LF Pre-Amp Outputs to the TA0.1 amplier inputs.
NOTE: Not all receivers have Pre-Amp outputs for the Right Front and Left Front outputs. If you
have a question about your receiver’s outputs, please consult your owner’s manual or contact your
receiver’s manufacturer.
Multiple Signal Hookup
This conguration is a little more complicated. You will need a small mixer to make this work.
Connect the signals you want to use to the mixer input. Then, connect the mixer output to the TA0.1
amplier input using a “Y” adapter.

SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER
If you are able to locate the amplier within 3 feet of the transducer (3 ft. is the approximate length of
the speaker wire attached to the transducer), connect the transducer wires directly to the amplier. This
can be done by unscrewing the wire binding posts, inserting the wire through the hole in the post and
then retightening the binding posts (see photo on this page). To insure you have a secure connection,
make sure the insulation on the wire does not get pinched when tightening the cap on the binding post.
NOTE: The 5-Way binding posts can be connected to in several ways. You can insert banana plugs
into the end of the posts, insert pin connectors or bare wire through the hole in the post (as shown in
photo), wrap bare wire around the posts and tighten the post caps, or install lug terminals around the
posts.
If you are unable to locate the amplier within 3 feet of the transducer, you will need to splice the
speaker wire coming out of the transducer with another comparable wire of the correct length. Once
spliced, attach the ends of the added wire to the amplier as discussed above.
NOTE: Our general wire size recommendations for additional wire are as follows:
0 to 25 feet, 16 AWG
25 to 50 feet, 14 AWG
50 to 75 feet, 12 AWG

SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER
The TA0.1 has powered loop-through. This feature enables the user to take the signal from an audio
source and pass it to a series of TA0.1 ampliers in order to drive multiple transducers.
The drawing for this type of hookup is shown below. Use a standard “Y” adapter to get the signal from
the audio source (e.g., from the LFE/SUB output). If the input signal is coming from two ports (e.g.,
from the RF and LF outputs), the “Y” adapter is not needed. The wires from those connectors can be
connected directly to the “Audio In” connectors of the TA0.1.
Subsequent wiring between the ampliers can be done with single or paired wire connectors. The
wiring for the transducers is the same as that for a single transducer hookup (see “Connecting the
Transducer to the Amplier” on the previous page).

OPERATING YOUR AMPLIFIER
For Home Theater installations, once you have properly set up your amplier, it is important to take time to
balance the transducer and subwoofer sound. The volume of the transducer is controlled by the receiver and
will rise or fall in direct proportion to that of the primary speakers. This proportion is determined by both the
volume setting on the receiver and the gain setting on the TA0.1 amplier.
NOTE: Some receivers have internal, automatic balancing systems. These systems rely on microphones
that sense the sound levels within the room. Since tactile sound transducers are heard through your body,
instead of through the air, automatic balancing systems may be ineffective when balancing the subwoofer
volume. We suggest using the following procedure, rather than activating the automatic balancing system.
STEPS:
Set the TA0.1 1. On/Auto/Off Switch to “OFF” (see photo #1 below).
If you are using a low-level signal, such as an MP3 player, set the 2. High/Low Switch to “LOW.” If you are
connecting to a high-level signal, such as an A/V receiver, set the switch to “HIGH.” (see photo #2).
Turn the 3. Gain Control counter-clockwise to the “MIN” position (see photo #3).
