TERMINOLOGY AND CONTROLS
STATUS INDICATOR – The LED found on the front panel will illuminate when the subwoofer is functioning.
If the unit is in Auto mode and is not receiving a signal, the light will remain off.
VOLUME – This knob can be adjusted to control the level of output from your subwoofer. The level chosen
should allow the subwoofer to blend its output with that of the rest of your audio system.
FREQ – This control allows for the adjustment of the low-pass filter. Adjustments can infinitely be made
from 40 Hz to 150 Hz. This will determine the highest frequency that the subwoofer will reproduce.
PHASE – This switch allows for the adjustment of the phase of the subwoofer, in relation to the speakers
used in your system, from 0 to 180 degrees.
POWER – This switch can be set to either On, Stand By or Auto. If the switch is in the Stand By position, the
subwoofer will remain off. If the switch is in the On position, it will constantly remain on. If the switch is set
to the AUTO position, when a signal is present the subwoofer will turn on and will automatically turn off
several minutes after a signal is no longer present.
LINE IN – These inputs are an RCA type LFE/stereo/mono input. If you are connecting your subwoofer to
a pre-amp/processor with a LFE or Subwoofer pre-amp output, connect a single RCA cable to the LFE/
Left input. If you are connecting your subwoofer to a stereo pre-amp or processor, such as in a stereo
music system, use stereo RCA cables and connect to both the LFE/Left and Right inputs.
HI LEVEL IN – The Speaker Level inputs are designed to be used on receivers or amplifiers that do not
incorporate any RCA type subwoofer outputs. If your receiver is equipped with an RCA type subwoofer
output, these speaker level inputs should not be utilized.
