A Suggestion
The Rocket UFW-12 subwoofer is carefully hand-packaged utilizing molded
foam inserts to protect its fine furniture-grade finish. Please use care when
unpacking your new subwoofer. When removing it from the box, hold the
wood sides of the cabinet, while taking care not to exert pressure on the front
cloth grille.
We strongly recommend that you save the foam inserts and shipping cartons
to protect your subwoofer, should you ever need to move or ship it to a new
location.

The Onix Rocket UFW-12 (Ultra Fast Woofer) is a
very potent and agile subwoofer. Special care
and attention was given to the UFW to ensure
clean, accurate, and extremely detailed low-end
performance in both music and home theater
systems. Features include a 1000-watt ampli-
fier, single band parametric equalizer, adjustable
crossover, and phase adjustment for easy in-
room placement. This flexibility will result in a
seamless blend with all Onix loudspeakers, as
well as those from other manufacturers.
Section 1—Product Overview
1.1 Control Panel Features (see figure 1.1)
A. Power switch
B. Power On Indicator – Glows brightly when
the unit is on. Glows dimly when unit is
in standby. The unit will automatically
turn on in the presence of an audio signal.
Approximately 15 minutes of signal ab-
sence will cause the subwoofer to go into
standby mode. To fully turn off the unit,
please unplug it from the wall.
C. Line Fuse – The UFW-12 is equipped with
a 10-amp fast blow fuse (120V). Always
replace with the same rating.
D. Power Cord – A standard IEC socket al-
lows removal of the power cord.
E. L/R connection. Use this connection when
you also are utilizing the UFW-12’s built-
in crossover. It is OK to use only the ‘L’
or ‘R’ input alone.
F. LFE connection. When using your proces-
sors crossover, use this connection.
G. Crossover Adjustment – This controls the
high-frequency cut off. Generally this is
set to 80Hz if used. We will cover this in
detail later in the manual.
H. Phase – This controls the phase of your
subwoofer relative to the rest of your
speakers. Flip this switch while you listen
at your listening position for the most
bass.
I. Gain – This control allows you to match
the output of your main/satellite speakers
to the sub. Set this to the lowest level
when powering your system for the first
time. When calibrating your system, do
not exceed 75% gain. You’ll want some
room for adjustment...try to avoid setting
the gain in either your receiver (through
the channel “trim” menus) or your sub-
woofer near maximum levels. Doing so
will also minimize the potential for a dis-
torted input signal.
J. EQ – Single band parametric equalizer.
Includes controls for Frequency, Band-
width and Level. Use these controls to
modify the frequency response at any
point. The frequency range is 18Hz to
80Hz…bandwidth from 0.1 to 1.0 oc-
taves…and a level adjustment from –
14.5dB to + 6dB.

1.2 Brass Feet, Discs, and Rubber Feet
Spike Feet
Included with your Rocket UFW-12 subwoofer
are the same high quality
threaded spike feet used on all
Rocket Loudspeakers. For car-
peted floors, simply screw the
spikes into the threaded in-
serts located on the bottom of
your UFW-12 Subwoofer. On
uneven surfaces, use these
feet to help compensate.
Brass Discs
To protect your hard flooring surface, we have
also included metal discs to provide a contact
point between your speaker spikes and the
floor. To use, simply place the disc under the
spike such that the small indentation is aligned
with the point of each
foot.
Rubber Feet
As an alternative to
both methods above
we’ve also included

I J

soft self-adhesive rubber bumpers with your
UFW-12 Subwoofer. These provide a safe alter-
native to the metal spikes, and will also absorb
any vibrations between the subwoofer and un-
derlying surface. The choice is
yours for preference and practi-
cality, but you'll find the results
to be very good either way.
Section 2—Subwoofer Placement
and Location
2.1 Subwoofer Placement
Unlike regular loudspeakers, subwoofers will of-
ten work best when placed in a corner, even if
located a few feet to the side and/or behind the
closest main speaker. Typically the front right
and left corners sound the most natural, though
rear corner placement is also an acceptable op-
tion. The driver can be facing you or be pointed
along either wall. The low frequency sound
waves emitted by the UFW-12 are quite long and
will therefore interact greatly with the walls of
your room. As a result, even small placement
adjustments can have a significant impact on the
sound you hear. A room corner will provide
maximum output at a given power level, and the
maximum number of room modes will be ex-
cited, translating to a flatter response in most
rooms. Often one rather large peak in the sub-
woofer’s operational frequency range will stand
out with corner placement,. For this we've also
provided the UFW-12 with the ability to alter its
response for your new environment with an on-
board 1 band parametric equalizer. As “boomy”
bass is often the result of the largest untamed
peak, we're confident that you will find this fea-
ture an indispensable tool for shaping your sub-
woofer into the way you'd like to hear it. Flat,
clean, and powerful. More on this in section 5.
2.2 Subwoofer Location
The low frequencies played by your UFW-12 sub-
woofer tend to be non-directional due the ex-
traordinarily long wavelengths involved. As a
result, regardless of where your subwoofer is
placed, it should not be easily localized, but
should instead produce a balanced and envelop-
ing response. Factors that can affect perform-
ance in this regard are rattles from shelves,
walls, or other nearby objects, as well as dis-
torted output. If you are having issues with sub-
woofer localization, try to isolate any rattling or
buzzing objects, or place the sub in another cor-
ner of your room. If the sub's output is dis-
torted, check to see that you are not at the
maximum sub level setting on your receiver or
pre/pro. An overdriven output can induce audi-
ble distortion. To resolve, you may need to turn
down the subwoofer level on your processor and
turn the gain level up on the subwoofer itself to
compensate.
Section 3—Connecting Your UFW-12
Subwoofer
NOTE: Please be sure your subwoofer is not
plugged in and the rest of your system is turned
off.
Figure 3.1
When making your connections, be sure to use a
high quality and reliable interconnect cable. It
should be shielded and long enough to do the
job, but not excessively long. Your subwoofer
cable is likely to be the longest interconnect in
your system.
The simplest and recommended connection be-
tween a home theater receiver or processor and
your UFW-12 Subwoofer is directly from the sub/
LFE output to the “LFE” input on the UFW-12.
Figure 2.1

See figure 3.1.
If used with a 2-channel integrated amplifier, or
any source without a dedicated sub/LFE output,
you will need to use both the L and R inputs on
the UFW-12’s back panel from a low-level output
on your preamplifier or receiver. Often “Tape” or
“Monitor” outputs will provide an appropriate
low-level stereo signal if the dedicated output
does not exist. See figure 3.2 below…
Figure 3.2
Section 4—Setting Up Your Surround
Processor or Receiver
4.1 Small or Large?
Many of today’s surround processors and home
theater receivers will allow you to set all 5
speakers in your room to either small or large,
thus changing the way your UFW-12 interacts
with your system.
Like almost all things audio, which setting to use
is somewhat subjective, though it’s also a func-
tion of your room. By a good majority, most
rooms will obtain their best sound with all speak-
ers set to "small" and crossed over to the UFW-
12 at 80Hz. Of course this is assuming the use
of a high performance subwoofer such as the
UFW-12. A strong sub ideally placed will handle
sub-80Hz information better than "most" loud-
speakers in "most" rooms. This is mainly due to
the tendency for competing sources of informa-
tion below 80Hz to result in destructive bass
wave cancellation, thus eliminating the very fre-
quencies your subwoofer was designed to play.
In addition, when crossed over with your UFW-
12, the other loudspeakers in your system will
play with greater ease and less distortion, free
from the demands of deep and complex sub-
80Hz waveform reproduction.
Your speaker system amplifier will be less taxed
as well, since much of the stress of producing
deep bass will be eliminated. Consequentially
your loudspeakers should sound cleaner and
more controlled.
An easy and "user friendly" way to test different
methods and frequencies for crossing over your
subwoofer is to use low frequency sweeps re-
corded on special program material. One of our
favorite is the "AVIA Guide To Home Theater"
DVD. Specifically, the tones that descend in
frequency from the individual satellite speakers
to the subwoofer are quite useful and effective.
Using your SPL meter (explained in the following
sections), watch for the smallest amount of over-
all needle fluctuation while you direct and de-
scend the tones from speaker to subwoofer as
you go around your system. In other words, the
point at which the signal transitions between
your satellites and subwoofer should be com-
pletely seamless and without definition.
4.2 Simple Calibration
To begin configuring your subwoofer for opti-
mum performance (a) in your room and (b) in
combination with your other loudspeakers, you’ll
first need a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter.
Radio Shack sells an analog SPL meter (shown to
the left) that works very well for this purpose.
Set the meter to "Slow" with a “C” weighting.
The dial should be set at either 70 or 80 depend-
ing on your pre/pro or receiver’s
test tone level. Consult your
owner’s manual to determine what
reference point your unit uses.
Most use 75dB, so the "70" setting
on the meter would be appropriate
for them.
Let's start by setting the level of
your sub to match the rest of your
speakers.
• From the receiver or pre/pro's speaker cali-
bration menu, set the subwoofer level to
0dB. Start with the gain on the subwoofer
around 1/2 of the way up.
• In the speaker configuration menu, be sure
all your speakers are set to “small” with sub-

woofer to "yes". For this exercise, the cross-
over should be set to 80Hz.
• Set the volume control on your pre/pro or
receiver to the "00 dB" level. See the note
below if your unit uses a positive number
scale for volume instead of a minus-to-plus
scale.
• Ensure that all main, center, and rear chan-
nels are calibrated to the reference point us-
ing your test tones, then direct the tone to
the subwoofer. Adjust it's level using the
gain control on the subwoofer itself until it
reaches the sound pressure level used for the
other speakers.
An assistant is very helpful in this process.
Some like to run their sub a bit louder (“hot”) for
movies by increasing the sub level (in the re-
ceiver’s control panel) by a few dB above the
main channel level. This can be very effective at
lower listening levels, but be sure to use care
when watching that big action movie for the first
time...especially at or near reference levels!
Once the subwoofer is calibrated, small adjust-
ments can be made easily using the subwoofer
level control in your processor. If you find the
need to go much above +2 or +3 consistently,
we recommend adjusting the gain control on the
sub’s amplifier upward rather than using the re-
ceiver’s volume control—this will eliminate the
possibility of the subwoofer receiving a distorted
input signal. Conversely, using too low of a
value for the subwoofer level on the processor
may result in difficulty keeping the subwoofer's
auto-on feature "awake" during quiet passages.
Note: If your unit does not use a minus/plus vol-
ume scale, activate the test tones and increase
the volume of your pre/pro or receiver until it
reaches 75dB or 85dB on your SPL meter. Re-
member this number as this will be “reference
level*.” Remember to check with your unit’s
manual to determine if they use a 75dB or 85dB
test tone.
*What is reference level? Reference
level allows for peaks of 105dB from the
speakers and 115dB for the LFE channel.
When calibrated as above, the correct
relative volume of each speaker will be
as the director/sound engineer of the
film intended.
4.3 Crossover Settings
Your UFW-12 Subwoofer features a continuously
variable crossover that allows you to set a low-
pass filter at any point between 30Hz and 200Hz.
In addition, many popular receivers and surround
processors also feature built-in electronic cross-
overs (please consult your receiver’s instruction
manual). If present, we recommend raising the
UFW’s crossover to 200Hz.
After setup is completed, during which an 80Hz
crossover is recommended, you can adjust your
crossover accordingly either in the subwoofer it-
self or as recommended in your receiver’s setup
menu. Typically, the smaller your speaker OR
the louder the system will be played, the higher
the crossover point. Conversely, larger speakers
OR lower volumes allow for lower crossover set-
tings. The THX standard, and the recommended
crossover with your UFW-12 is 80Hz for home
theater.
4.4 UFW-12 Phase Adjustment
The phase switch (see “H” on figure 1.1) controls
the relative phase of the subwoofer to best rein-
force the other loudspeakers in your system.
Adjustments to this control will change your
UFW-12’s interaction with the rest of your
speaker system, providing the least cancellation,
and thus the best response in any room. With
SPL meter in hand (or, better yet, on a tripod),
play an 80Hz tone (for this exercise the cross-
over point must be set to 80Hz) and flip the
switch between "NOR" and “REV.” Watching
your SPL meter, find the position that results in
the biggest peaks in sound pressure levels (i.e.
reads highest on the meter). This setting indi-
cates the least amount of bass wave cancellation,
and should be held constant until the subwoofer
or other speakers in your room are moved, or
placement is altered in any way. With typical
front corner placement in most rooms, you may
very well find the "NOR" setting to be optimum.
Section 5—Advanced Calibration and
Correction
One of the most impressive features of your
UFW-12 Subwoofer is the built-in parametric EQ
shown as “J” in figure 1.1 and detailed in figure
5.1. Depending on the nature of your room or
listening environment, your subwoofer may be
reinforcing certain frequencies in the UFW-12’s
operating range such that they are significantly

louder (at your listening position) than the de-
sired response. Using the three dials shown in
figure 5.1, the UFW-12’s parametric equalizer will
allow you to flatten up to 1 peak in your room,
thus giving you the flattest (most natural) overall
response.
In order to find out exactly how your room is af-
fecting your UFW-12 Subwoofer, you need to
perform a “frequency sweep” of your room. This
will give you a graphical representation of how
the UFW-12 is performing in your unique listen-
ing environment.
5.1 Performing a Room Frequency Sweep
Though there are a number of ways to perform
an accurate frequency sweep, we’ve detailed the
steps involved in the most basic method below.
a. Sit in your favorite seat and hold your Ra-
dio Shack SPL meter at a 45-degree angle
half way between horizontal and vertical.
b. The meter should be placed at ear level
when seated in the primary listening posi-
tion, and is best if supported by a station-
ary object such as an end table or tripod.
c. Assuming you have already calibrated all
channels to reference level, set your sub’s
volume to 70dB.
d. Play a 25Hz track from a bass test CD,
such as "Rives Audio Test CD 2" available
through www.rivesaudio.com,and record
BOTH the frequency (your x-axis), which
corresponds to the track on the test disc,
and the SPL (your y-axis) as shown on
the meter.
e. Next, play the tracks from 25Hz to 120Hz
and record the SPL for each frequency
played.
f.
Important Note: The Radio Shack sound meter
uses C-weighting for its readout. This compen-
sates for the inaccuracies of the human ear at
low frequencies. We want to measure the actual
response. As a result, a correction key is needed
to ensure proper response before your final
measurements are plotted. We suggest gather-
ing the data using the readings on the meter and
then correcting your results with the compensa-
tion coefficients shown in figure 6.1 (at the end
of this manual).
5.2 Interpreting the Results
Once you’ve completed this exercise, you will
have a data list much like that shown in figure
5.2 below (though much more detailed and com-
plete).
Now that you have a complete data set derived
from YOUR room, you need to plot this response
visually, either in MS Excel or simply on graph
paper (a computer application is recommended
to smooth the curve) to obtain a graphical repre-
sentation of your room’s effect on the UFW-12.
An example, derived from figure 5.2 above, is
shown on the following page in figure 5.3.
Note the relative flatness of the overall response
as well as the magnitude of your largest peak.
Some nulls are likely to be present, however fill-
ing in a null or dip with any EQ is not likely to be
effective, and the power required can make such
an attempt undesirable. If desired or necessary,
you may wish to try moving the sub to a new
location for a flatter response. Sometimes only a

few inches can make a significant difference. It's
recommended that these tests be performed us-
ing the same speaker configuration and place-
ment you'll be using while enjoying your system,
such that the interaction between the speakers
and the subwoofer can be observed. By and
large we recommend sticking with front corner
placement if possible for the benefit of the
"corner loading" increase in output, thus using
the EQ only to flatten the response.
5.3 Advanced Parametric EQ Adjustments
And the fun begins...
For this adjustment, you will need a test disc
with frequencies from at least 20Hz to 120Hz.
Stereophile Magazine and the previously men-
tioned www.rivesaudio.com have test discs avail-
able for sale, or you can create your own disc
with a CD writer using files found on the internet.
A web search should yield suitable tones.
Once your data is plotted as shown in figures 5.2
and 5.3 , use the Frequency (A), Bandwidth (B),
and Level (C) controls (as shown in figure 5.1) to
adjust your subwoofer’s response as follows:
A) Frequency—This control allows you to set
the exact point at which you want the CENTER of
the filter to be applied. In our example above,
we want to tame the peak that is centered at just
about 45Hz, and thus set our frequency filter to
the corresponding 45Hz level.
B) Bandwidth—The bandwidth control on your
UFW-12 allows you to set the WIDTH of the filter
you want applied. This control is based on a per-
centage of a full octave above, or a doubling of
frequency. Thus, when set to 1.0, the width of
the area you’ll be cutting or boosting will be a full
Frequency (Hz)
30 50 80

(one) octave, corresponding to an overall width
(start to finish) of double the frequency (half
above AND below your center point). In this ex-
ample, we estimate the “beginning” of the peak
in figure 5.3 to be at about 25Hz and the “end”
of the peak at about 80Hz...a range of around
55Hz.
However, the 45Hz point is not centered in this
range. Because the EQ needs a range equidis-
tant to each side of our center frequency, set in
step 1, we have to extend our area slightly (or
move our center point...more on this later) to
fully compensate the range we require. Thus, in
this example, because we want our high point at
80Hz, or 35Hz above our 45Hz center frequency,
we also have to adjust 35Hz below our center
frequency, therefore expanding the width of our
“beginning” and “end” points to 10Hz and 80Hz
respectively (as shown in figure 5.5).
However, in this example, there is one prob-
lem...our low point is far below the actual width
of our desired curve, thus even the flat portion of
the UFW’s desired response will be attenuated.
To avoid this, we need to move our center point
up just a bit, such that it is closer to equidistant
between our “beginning” and “end” points. In
other words, if we move our center point up from
45Hz to 55Hz, our “end” point of 80Hz is now
only 25Hz above our center (instead of 35Hz),
and our “beginning” point is now 30Hz below
our center (instead of 20Hz). Because we must
be equidistant from this center frequency, our
range thus becomes 25Hz to 85Hz—much closer
to our desired value. In addition, because the
system will likely be crossed over at 80Hz, the
30 50 80
Center (45Hz)
Desired Curve Width

additional attenuation above the actual curve will
not affect the UFW’s response.
Now that we know how far above and below we
need our width points, we must calculate the
percentage of a full octave this translates to.
This can be done with the following equation:
[(Bandwidth)x(Center Hz)] + (Center Hz)
Which breaks down to:
Bandwidth(B) = High Cutoff(H) - Center Hz(C)
Center Hz (C)
Thus, in this example, we substitute our points
as follows
(B) = (H) 85Hz - (C) 55Hz
(C) 55Hz
And, finally, we have B = 0.55. In other words,
the bandwidth dial should be adjusted to 0.55 in
order to set a curve width between 25Hz and
85Hz on a 55Hz center point.
C) Level—Now that we’ve defined our peak’s
width, we move on to the goal of this exer-
cise...to flatten it out. For this, we need to de-
cide how much boost or cut will be necessary.
In our sample data, our center frequency (55Hz)
corresponds to a gain of right about 74 dB.
However, as you can see in the above figure, the
rest of our curve is flat at about the 69 dB level.
Thus, in this example, a 5dB cut applied to our
curve will sufficiently “tame” this peak and flat-
ten the response of the UFW-12 in your room.
NOTE: After the filter is set, we recommend per-
forming a new frequency sweep to check results
and to identify where to make fine tuning adjust-
ments.

Section 6—Proper Care and Feeding
Your Rocket UFW series subwoofer does not
need much exterior maintenance other than an
occasional dusting. Please use care with the
gloss black ends and treat them as you would a
piano finish. They can be waxed with automo-
tive carnauba wax if desired. We recommend
the 3M Yellow Detail Cloth (part # 39016) for
dust removal as it will not scratch the black sur-
face. The durable matte finish on the wood ve-
neer requires only some dusting, or can be wiped
off with a water dampened soft cloth.
Above all, listen and enjoy!
