WARNING: The MiniMe subwoofers are capable of generating high sound pressure
levels. You should exercise caution when operating these speakers. Long term
exposures to high levels of sound pressure will cause permanent damage to your
hearing. Sound pressure levels exceeding 85dB can be dangerous with constant
exposure, set your audio system to a comfortable loudness level. Earthquake
Sound Corporation does not assume liability for damages resulting from the direct use
of the MiniMe subwoofers , and urges users to play volume at moderate levels.

(8) High Level Inputs
Under normal conditions, the preferred connection is
through the Line Level inputs. If this is difficult or not
possible in your system, then you can use the
Speaker Level inputs. Also, if you experience
excessive noise or hum with the Line Level input,
often a simple change to the Speaker Level input will
result in a lower background noise level.
Connect the Speaker Level inputs to the speaker-level
outputs of your amplifier or receiver using speaker
wire. The binding posts can accept bare wire
connections only.
(9) High Level Outputs
High Level: Connecting the Subwoofer using the high
level speaker connections: On the rear of your MiniMe
Subwoofer are two pairs of red and black binding
posts. One set is marked “Input” and one set is
marked “Output”, with each pair designated as left or
right. Each post is color-coded black/red. These
terminals will accept up to 16-gauge quality speaker
wire. The Inputs should be connected to the left and
right speaker terminals of your amplifier or receiver.
The Outputs should run from the subwoofer to the left
and right satellite speakers. Remember: Always
connect red-to-red and black-to-black, when making
connections between an amplifier/receiver to the
subwoofer. If you inadvertently reverse one of the
connections (i.e., red-to-black), you will notice a lack
of bass from your subwoofer.
(10) Manual ON/OFF Switch
In the “ON” position, the subwoofer will remain “on”
constantly or can turn “on” and “off” automatically
when the “AUTO/ON” circuit is engaged. In the “OFF”
position, the subwoofer will remain off until the switch
is manually turned back to the “ON” position.
Always unplug the power cord before
inspecting or changing the fuse. Never
use a fuse with a larger current rating
than recommended.

your Earthquake dealer.
• Avoid excessive exposure to extreme cold or dust.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
• Do not place the subwoofer with its control panel
against the floor.
• If you wish to place your woofer so the drivers face
the floor and ceiling, thereby moving up and down,
use at least 1-1 ½ inch high spikes or feet for support.
They may be attached either with screws or self-stick
backing . This arrangement will impart substantial
house and floor shaking motion.
Heat Rise
• Allow adequate ventilation around the metal control
panel of the subwoofer.
• Do not let anything come into contact with the panel
and keep at least two inches away from any walls.
The metal control plate serves as the amplifier heat
sink and also as a conduit to remove internal heat to
the outside and into the atmosphere. It can reach
temperatures of 60° C, which will feel hot to the touch,
using nerves of flesh and blood as temperature
sensors. As uncomfortable as it may feel, 60 degrees

which your woofer is constructed.
AC Power Considerations
Ensure that the unit is plugged into an outlet capable
of supplying the correct voltage specified for your
model.
Unplug your subwoofer's power cord from the
electrical outlet if it will be left unused for a long period
of time.

Speaker Level Connections
• The subwoofer's Speaker Level Inputs can accept
speaker stripped speaker wires only.
• Make sure that the negative speaker wires never
touch the positive wires as this will short out and
possibly damage your amplifier or receiver.
• This diagram shows all the low power components

• This arrangement will reduce the possibility of an
audible hum in your system caused by a ground loop.
• Whenever possible, keep the power cords away
from the signal cable or speaker wires to prevent any
hum or inference being heard in speakers.

System Configurations
The following pages show some typical connections
that you might make in your installation. They show
how the inputs and outputs of the Earthquake sub are
connected to your pre-amplifier or receiver.
Connections to a pre-
amplifier's subwoofer output
If your pre-amplifier has a subwoofer output (often
labeled LFE for Low Frequency Effects), it can be
connected to the subwoofer's Left (Mono) input as
shown. This is the simplest and recommended
connection. A receiver with a sub/LFE output can be
connected in the same way.
The subwoofer will play the low frequency range and
the other speaker will play the frequency range
delivered to them by your amplifier.
If you have a home theater pre-amplifier, it may have
an independent subwoofer volume control. Make sure
this is correctly adjusted, and that the Earthquake
subwoofer's crossover frequency is set to 100Hz. This
is by no means an iron-clad rule, rather it is a good
starting point.
You can set the subwoofer's Bass Level control on
your receiver to 0dB, and then use the pre-amplifier's
subwoofer level control for normal and routine
adjustments.

Connections to a pre-amplifier
using “Y” cables
If your pre-amplifier does not have a sub/LFE output,
you can use “Y” cables to send its main outputs to
both the subwoofer and your amplifier.
The subwoofer will play the low frequency range and
your front speakers will play the full range.
Although bass is commonly distributed evenly
between left and right channels (L+R bass), movie
soundtracks often contain differential (L-R) bass. The
opening scene in “Top Gun”, for example, has loads of
L-R bass information. If this is not preserved, the bass
in these scenes sounds anemic. The Earthquake
subwoofer utilized differential gain on the left and right
inputs to retain both the L+R and L-R information.
Therefore, systems which do not have a dedicated
sub/LFE output should use both the left and the right
inputs as shown, for the greatest bass impact.
An Alternative connection method without using “Y”
cables is shown on the next page.
If your pre-amp/receiver has a dedicated sub/LFE
output, the only the Left (Mono) input is used, as
shown on the previous page.

Using the line speaker-level
inputs
If you are using a receiver which does not have a
subwoofer output or line level outputs (pre-outs), you
can connect its speaker outputs to the subwoofer's
Speaker-Level inputs. The front speakers can still be
connected to your receiver.
The subwoofer's internal amplifier supplies the power
to reproduce the low frequency range. It receives a
sample of the signal going to your front speakers. (An
insignificant fraction of your receiver's power is
transferred to the subwoofer).
There is no need to use the Speaker Level inputs if
you are using a separate amplifier and pre-amplifier.
Such systems are best connected using the Line
Level Inputs as shown in the previous diagrams.
If you are using the Line Level inputs and there is an
excessive amount of noise or hum present, using the
Speaker Level inputs may yield a lower background
noise level.

Earthquake • MiniMe User Manual 13
Adjusting the controls
There are two main methods for adjusting the level,
crossover frequency and phase of the Earthquake
MiniMe to match a system.
Method One: Typical: Listening and making
adjustments to suit your taste.
Method Two: Laboratory: By measuring the
output and adjusting for a flat frequency
response.
Satisfactory results can be achieved if you make the
adjustments based on simply listening. This is
Earthquake's preferred method as it allows the system
to be voiced based on what sounds the best,
whereas laboratory-flat frequency response can often
be clinical and less than exciting.
The following procedure is for those who prefer a
more methodical and scientific approach.
You will need a test CD with low-frequency warble
tones, and a sound pressure-level meter.
Step #1
Disconnect the subwoofer and run the main speaker
with a tone in its passband (80-100Hz). Measure the
level.
Step #2
Disconnect the main speaker and reconnect the
subwoofer. Set the subwoofer to its highest crossover
frequency. Set the level control of the subwoofer to
give the same sound pressure level with the same
tone you used in Step #1.
Step #3
With both the subwoofer and the main speaker
connected, measure the level of the tones at the
available frequencies. Because the crossover is set
too high, you will have a peaked response. Adjust the
crossover control to get the smoothest response.
Step #4
Use the phase control to make the response even
smoother. It has its biggest effect at the crossover
frequency. You can iterate between the crossover and
the phases controls. Keep your hands off the level
control! It was set correctly in Step #2.
Step #5
Listen to the subwoofer. Resist all temptation to turn
up the level control. Play something with really deep
bass to confirm that your subwoofer is working.
Control settings

from test results.
