1. INPUT SENSITIVITY
This control sets the input sensitivity of the TNA-2800SA. Turned fully anti-clockwise, the
system will accept a nominal +10dB signal such as that from a high output mixing console,
whereas when set to 0dB it is more suited to lower-level inputs such as those from PA link
outs. +10dB sensitivity is recommended for most setups. Increase if you need more
volume.
2. STATUS LEDs
4 LEDs for each woofer, A and B. Power, signal present, protect system and limiter are all
highlighted by their respective LED.
3. CROSSOVER SELECTOR
Adjust the full range frequency limit of the sub from 70Hz (fully anti-clockwise) to 120Hz
(fully clockwise). A full range setting is also included to aid setup and troubleshooting.
4. PHASE SWITCH
Switch the signal phase of the output between 0˚ and 180˚, with respect to the input
signal. Swap the phase to better integrate the subwoofer into a full speaker system and
keep it in phase with the rest of the speakers. Useful when the sub is positioned in a
corner for example. Link out is not affected by this.
5
5. DELAY CONTROLS
Add a delay to your signal if required to keep the sub in sync with the rest of the sound
system. Two switches are provided, with the left controlling the delay in milliseconds and
the right in microseconds. Can also be used to implement a cardioid function along with
the phase switch, multiple subwoofers required.
6. POWER SWITCH
Turn on and off the TNA-2800SA - jump to the power cycle section for more information.
7. INPUT SOCKET
Balanced XLR signal input socket for the TNA-2800SA.
8. LINK OUT SOCKET
Line level balanced XLR output socket to link the sub to the rest of your system.
9. LINK OUT SWITCH
Toggle the output signal at the link out between your set crossover frequency, or a full
range frequency response.
10. USB-B SOCKET
This socket is for service updates only and is typically not to be used.
11. POWER SOCKET
Connect the provided twist lock power cable here to power the subwoofer from mains
power. Note, as this system is typically wired into a distribution system, we only provide

rest of the system. Note that the placement of the product and the direction it faces,
compared to the other speakers, will determine how out of phase the output initially is
and a verification measurement is recommended.
Finally, when the input is connected, and all rear panel settings are correct, follow the
power cycle below to power up the 2800SA.
POWER CYCLE
The TNA-2800SA is a very powerful subwoofer, and when powered on with a signal
present, can be affected by transient surges that could damage the speakers.
To ensure this doesn’t occur, follow the sequence below when powering on (and in
reverse for powering off):
1. Ensure power switch is off.
2. Connect to power by plugging in the twist lock power cable and turning the mains
switch on.
3. Connect the input signal, ensuring it is muted and turned to its lowest setting.

In order to take full advantage of your new product and enjoy long and trouble-free performance, please read this owner's
manual carefully, and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
1) Unpacking: On unpacking your product please check carefully for any signs of damage that may have occurred whilst in
transit from the HH factory to your dealer. In the unlikely event that there has been damage, please re-pack your unit in
its original carton and consult your dealer. We strongly advise you to keep your original transit carton, since in the
unlikely event that your unit should develop a fault, you will be able to return it to you dealer for rectification securely
packed.
2) Amplifier Connection: In order to avoid damage, Generally it is advisable to establish and follow a pattern for turning on
and off your system. With all system parts connected, turn on source equipment, mixers, effects processors etc,
BEFORE turning on your amplifier. Many products have large transient surges at turn on and off which can cause
damage to your speakers. By turning on your amplifier LAST and making sure its level control is set to a minimum, any
transients from other equipment should not reach your loud speakers. Wait till all system parts have stabilised, usually a
couple of seconds. Similarly when turning off your system always turn down the level controls on your amplifier and then
turn off its power before turning off other equipment.
3) Cables: Never use shielded or microphone cable for any speaker connections as this will not be substantial enough to
handle the amplifier load and could cause damage to your complete system. Use good quality shielded cables
everywhere else.
4) Servicing: The user should not attempt to service these products. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
5) Heed all warnings.

20) This electrical apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and care should be taken not to place objects
containing liquids, such as vases, upon the apparatus.
21) Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary
considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing
if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing
loss. Earplugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this
amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss, if exposure is in excess of the limits
as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is
recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this
amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
22) If your appliance features a tilting mechanism or a kickback style cabinet, please use this design feature with caution.
Due to the ease with which the amplifier can be moved between straight and tilted back positions, only use the
amplifier on a level, stable surface. DO NOT operate the amplifier on a desk, table, shelf or otherwise unsuitable non-
stable platform.
