Active Subwoofer
About Subwoofers
Subwoofers extend the bass response of your system beyond the limitation of
most speakers. They are used with, not in place of, your existing left and right
speakers. A subwoofer can dramatically enhance a stereo TV, a stereo system,
or a full edged home theater.
Features
This active subwoofer features a highly ecient ported enclosure, a reinforced
driver and an amplier with a passive low frequency crossover network. A line
level input is provided for fast and easy connection to virtually any system.
Using the Controls
Power
The subwoofer is o in the“OFF”position, on in the “ON”position and is activat-
ed upon receiving a signal in the “AUTO” position.
Phase
The subwoofer has phase switch 0°and 180°
Gain
The control adjusts the volume of the subwoofer. Once set, the volume control
should not require further adjustment. Begin with the volume control at the
minimum position. Slowly increase the volume until you can hear the
subwoofer. A subwoofer playing too loud can give your system a muddy
sound, so be sure to balance the subwoofer carefully with your other speakers.
Output volume is relative and can be dierent from location to location.
Always return to the normal listening location to evaluate any setting changes.
Crossover
The crossover frequency control determines the highest frequency at which the subwoofer reproduces sounds.
It can be adjusted from 40Hz to 150Hz.
Placement Guidelines
Prior to installing your new subwoofer, please consider the following guidelines. Placing the subwoofer near a
wall or in a corner will greatly increase its bass response. As frequencies reproduced by subwoofers are long
and need room to propagate, a subwoofer placed near the listening position will not sound as full as one
placed farther away. Please be careful about placing anything directly on top of your subwoofer, as the vibra-
tions of the speaker cabinet could cause these items to fall.
Connecting the subwoofer
The following diagrams show four of the most common types of subwoofer connections.
Hi Level In
These inputs are designed to accept an amplied signal from the speaker outputs of a receiver, power amp or
other device not equipped with line level outputs.
Hi Level Out
The original amplied signal from your source is present at these outputs, for connection to the existing left and
right speakers.

Specications
Design and specications are subject to change without notice.
Television Enhancement
Many newer television sets are equipped with variable
Stereo outputs. The signal available at these outputs varies
with the television volume. In this situation, these variable
audio outputs can be connected directly to the Subwoofer
line inputs to enhance the bass response of the television's
built-in speakers.
Dedicated Subwoofer Connections
Many surround sound decoders, home theater processors
and audio/video receivers are equipped with a dedicated
subwoofer line output. In this case, the signal is already
processed and does not need to return to the system or
other speakers. Connect this line output to the line inputs
of the Subwoofer. A Y connector should be used to feed
this single output to both the left and the right line
inputs.
Hi Level Connections
Here the signal is already amplied as it leaves the receiv-
er/amplier. The speaker terminals of this unit are con-
nected to the hi level inputs of the Subwoofer. The left
and right speakers receive the original amplied signal
from the Subwoofer hi level outputs.
Line Level Connections
In this example, the pre-amp outputs of a stereo receiver
are connected to the Subwoofer line inputs.
Line In
The RCA-type jack of your Subwoofer is designed to accept a line level signal from a receiver, pre-amp, surround
sound decoder, television or similar device. When using a single line level output from another unit, a Y connec-
tor should be used to send the signal to both the left and right inputs.
