TREVOCE15 EQ DSP SUBWOOFER INSTALL GUIDE
Installation Precautions:
Before installing
Thank you for buying the latest version of our most popular subwoofer.
The additional upgrades we have made make this the best all-round sub in our history. Incorporated in the Trevoce15 EQ DSP is the
new native EQ, and the IWoofer DSP engine. The native EQ has allowed us to extract the maximum bass extension possible from our
design. This allows the full range of musical instruments and special effects to be reproduced. The Trevoce EQ DSP Series does this all
without any increase in the size of the sub. Our Trevoce subs offer the smallest footprint you will nd in triple driver designs.
Before connecting your subwoofer, make sure all equipment is switched off and that voltage switch is set to your country’s voltage. Do
not connect the subwoofer power supply cable before completing all connections.

Settings & Controls
Setting the Power Mode
ON Mode:
If the subwoofer is set to ON mode, it will always be ready to play. However, undesired noise from interference or
connections changing may be heard. Use the standard ON mode only if needed, set the power switch to OFF when not in
use.
AUTO Mode:
Setting the switch to AUTO enables AUTO Sense. The subwoofer turns ON and OFF automatically in response to signal
input. The subwoofer will enter standby mode if no signal is sensed for longer than 15 minutes.
Set the MODE switch to the ON position for setup.
After making all the connections, setup your subwoofer using the following steps:
1. Plug the subwoofer into an electrical outlet using the included power cord. The status LED will illuminate solid blue
when power is present and the subwoofer is ON.

2. Set the controls and switches to their initial setup positions:
VOLUME set the dial to 50% or 12 o’clock
CROSSOVER adjust the upper frequency limit. The purpose is to control the overlap the upper frequencies of the
subwoofer and the main speakers lower frequencies. Check your main speakers specs to determine their low-end
limit.
PHASE set to 0°
3. Play a movie scene or soundtrack and set the system volume to an average level. Listen to the bass level from your
favorite listening position and adjust the volume accordingly.
4. Continue listening to your favorite source track and experiment with the phase control until you nd the best setting
for you. Depending on the location of the subwoofer the bass may sound louder and deeper when the phase has been
optimized. In some cases adjusting the phase will have no audible difference.
5. Initial setup is now complete.
Trevoce Subwoofers are equipped with pre-programmed built-in EQ for optimal sound and great performance. You may
also use the (optional) iWoofer app to access and custom tune the DSP to suit listening preferences or room correction
for example. There is also a Pro version of the iWoofer App (IOS Only) that adds additional functions available for a small
fee.
iWoofer Setup
1. If you intend to use the custom DSP functions you must rst download the iWoofer app from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Continue reading to setup iWoofer app to access and setup the custom DSP features of the TreVoce.

iWoofer App: DSP Discovery & Connect
From your listening position, using the Android or Apple App iWoofer App you can make any adjustment needed to get the
maximum out of your system.
Open the iWoofer App: Turn On Bluetooth to allow iWoofer to connect to accessories. You may tap Ok, and the app will go
into Demo Mode. Otherwise tap Settings, and turn ON Bluetooth, next tap to Home button, and open iWoofer again.
Bluetooth range is (30-65ft) the app will nd any number of subwoofers equipped iWoofer Hardware, all of them will
appear under “Devices Found:” Choose the UDID or MAC address that show up for your iWoofer equipped sub.
Main Menu
Ok, we have seen the UDID and tapping it we get the main control menu.
The app has a renaming function in Options/Name menu, and UDID number could be replaced for any name whatever
you like.

X-Over Menu
From here you will be able to ne-tune your subwoofer, carefully matching the main speakers to the sub, using variable
slopes and role offs. Whether you have ported main speakers, needing 24 or even 48dB per octave ltering, or sealed
acoustic suspension speakers needing 12dB per octave ltering, we have you covered. The innitely variable phase
correction and choice of cross-over points also provide for much better integration with the main speakers.
X-Over - control of Low Pass and High Pass Filters (LPF/HPF), double tap (or tap & hold on > 1S) on the slope to select
one, slide left/right to control a frequency (20:500Hz), and up/down to control an ‘Slope” order (2:4:8 or 12/24/48 dB/oct
Butterworth). Use this to match your main speakers with the subwoofer
The LPF/HPF frequencies limit the frequency range for Room Correction (Pro App only).
The Xover menu also controls up to 25 bands of fully Parametric Equalization
The built-in 25-band digital parametric equalization allows you to correct for frequency response dips and peaks caused
by positioning and room reections. You can do this by ear, or use a free frequency response app, or upgrade to the Pro-
App (IOS only)and simply use your phones microphone to measure the frequency response and then start making up to
25 different equalization adjustments until the response curve has been corrected. For iPhone users you can run auto-
room equalization/correction, allowing the Pro App to create the EQ lters needed to deal with Room Acoustics issues.
Equalizer (PEQ), to add a new PEQ tap to “+” icon, to delete select “Trash” icon. Slide curve right/left to set a frequency,
up/down to set a gain (db), zoom in/zoom out to control a Q factor (PEQ bandwidth), double tap (or tap&hold on > 1S) on
PEQ line to select it.
X-Over menu. Xover menu. Add new PEQ..
Options Menu
Name: By default the Name eld lled with UDID, you may rename it there. UDID shows the MAC address of the
connected iWoofer Hardware.

subwoofer. For a full control by app please switch off all controllers, otherwise turning Off/On of the subwoofer will return
the control to the rear panel knobs.
Auto On/Off allows you to adjust auto On threshold in mVRMS units, and hold On time in minutes. 10mVRMS and 2
minutes are default values.
Gain Slider
The volume slider with Input Level indication (gray/green/red means, signal is less/more than Auto On Threshold, or input
clipped).
SHS
The ability to retore sub harmonics that have lost or not been included in early recordings. All musical notes consist of the
original note and a series of harmonics or fundamentals of that frequency, combined, they produce the note you hear. Sub
Harmonic Synthesizing (SHS) restores those lost harmonics. Sub Harmonic Synthesizer (old tracks bass restoration, a
good example is Jackson Sisters - I Believe In Miracles or Diana Krall - Temptation). Ideal for sealed subwoofers.
Delay Controls
2.5:65mS or 5:67.5mS for the FIR room correction mode (latency 2.5/5mS). Sometimes needed to match the delay with
full range speakers (if delayed).
Phase
The 1st order all pass lter F 10:10000Hz. Sometimes needed to match the phase of the main speakers in the cross-over
region.
