General Operating Instructions
Power ON/OFF
The PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofer does not have a power switch. The TouchTunes jukebox turns the PowerPack
725 Powered Subwoofer on and off.
Tone controls and DSP Equalization
Bass and treble adjustments are made using the sound mixer controls in the TouchTunes jukebox.
Note: When first setting up the PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofer at a location, set the jukebox’s tone controls to flat,
initially, and turn off the software EQ option (“DSP EQ” on JCB-based jukeboxes or “Bass Boost” on Virtuo SmartJukes) to
test with a “vanilla” signal. You can then adjust the tone controls or activate the software EQ option as required.
TouchTunes strongly recommends that you listen to a variety of different music selections and genres, at the lowest and
highest volumes you intend to permit for use at your locations, before finalizing these settings.
Remote volume control
The volume control for the PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofer is located in the sound mixer screen on the TouchTunes
jukebox‚ and on the RF remote control included with the jukebox. Do not attempt to wire an in-line volume control into the
category 5 cable.
Speaker Placement
Optimum performance of your PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofer is determined by placement of the system
components. Follow the general guidelines below to ensure the best possible performance from your system.
Bass Box Placement
The PowerPack 725 bass box can be placed with one side against a wall. Either side is acceptable, all that is required is to
route the cables to come out on the appropriate side. Avoid placing the bass box’s port openings directly against a
reflecting surface. For best results place the side with the port openings at least six inches from the wall. Make sure the port
openings are not covered in any way and are at least three inches away from objects.
Bass Box Placement
6 inches
(minimum)

7 of 14
TIP:As a rule of thumb for placing bass reflecting speakers, the distance between the bass port and the reflecting
surface should be approximately equal to the size of the bass port itself.
For best results, do not position the bass port more than 12 inches away from the reflecting surfaces.
Using greater distances will result in diminished bass response.
Satellite Speaker Placement
Follow the recommendations that came with the satellites you will be using. Here are some general considerations
to keep in mind when positioning and installing satellites:
•Satellite speakers work best when located in corners.
•Keep a satellite speaker within 25 feet of any listener.
•Do not position satellite speakers more than 25 feet away from the bass box.
•Mount satellite speakers between 6 feet and 12 feet high.
•Define the listening area and aim the satellite speakers towards the center of the listening area.
•Always maintain a minimum of 4 feet between satellite speakers.
•In 4-satellite configurations, to maximize stereo coverage, if the two satellite speakers for one channel
are to be placed less than 20 feet apart, they should both be placed on one side of the listening area
(in left-left, right-right order). If the two satellite speakers for one channel are to be placed more than 20
feet apart, they should both be alternated with the opposite channel satellites (in left-right, left-right
order).
•Do not aim satellite speakers directly into a corner.
•When placing satellite speakers near the intersection of two walls and a ceiling, use unequal distance
spacing from vertical and horizontal surfaces. Example: 2 feet from the ceiling and 1 foot from adjacent
wall.
•For stereo installations, satellites must be within 25 feet of each other.
Installation
Wall-mounting the Bass Box
The PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofer is designed to be wall-mounted using a VESA-standard wall-mount
bracket of the same kind used for wall-mounting flat-screen HDTVs, which must be UL-rated to support at least 75
pounds.
Note: It is the installer’s responsibility to choose a position, mounting method, and fasteners consistent with local
building codes and regulations.
DA950-U Amplifier Connector Panel
The DA950-U amplifier installed in the PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofer’s bass box is shown in the figure
below.
CAUTION: The PowerPack 725 bass box is heavy and represents a serious safety hazard if its mounting
system should fail. Installation of the mounting system should only be performed by an experienced
installer or licensed contractor who is familiar with standard rigging, mounting and hanging practices as
recognized by a licensed engineer or government agency in your area.

Daisy-Chaining PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofers
The PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofer provides daisy-chaining capability, enabling you to connect additional
PowerPack 725 systems to achieve increased sound coverage for large areas.
The following figure illustrates how to daisy-chain multiple PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofers.
Daisy-Chaining PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofers
Caution: Review your speaker circuit, and ensure that the resulting impedance is in the range
between 4 and 8 ohms. Values outside this range will result in either poor performance, or the
amplifier’s over-current and/or thermal protection to activate, preventing audio output.
from Jukebox
to another amplifier

12 of 14
Up to 10 PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofers can be daisy-chained for a single zone in this manner.
Note: Best results are achieved by using only PowerPack 725 Powered Subwoofers—whose EQ curve has been tailored
specifically for that system—in a daisy-chained configuration.
Although other types of amplifiers can be used, the resulting sound quality may be unpredictable. In addition, the use of
other amplifiers will require using a Line-Out DI box (not included), which may be ordered from TouchTunes (p/n 700168-
002).
