Hookin' up TIP! We recommend the use of high-quality cables and connectors when hooking up your subwoofer (see dealer) Turn all components OFF before connecting the sub Input Line-Level (RCA) Input Allows connection from the Sub/LFE Output of an A/V receiver, processor or other suitable low-level source. IMPORTANT: Speakers set to 'Large' with your A/V receiver or processor will still be reproducing bass frequencies so be very careful not to overdrive them! Controls Auto-On/Standby Your subwoofer will turn on when it receives an input signal-eliminating the need for a power switch. If no signal is sensed for a period of time, the subwoofer will automatically switch to a low-power standby state. Subwoofer Level Balances the subwoofer output level to your speakers. Subwoofer Cut-Off and Bypass Option Controls the subwoofer's upper-frequency cut-off. This can be set to match the low-frequency roll-off characteristics of your front speakers. For example, if your front speakers play to approximately 80 Hz, you can set the subwoofer cut-off frequency to approximately 80 Hz. Bypass Option allows you to bypass the subwoofer's built-in cut-off control to let your preamplifier/processor's or receiver's internal bass management system provide the crossover function. Phase Alignment Depending on where you put the subwoofer there may be bass frequency cancellation. This can occur because your subwoofer and front speakers are out-of-phase-they work against each other through their frequency overlap region. Bass is then reduced and may even sound disjointed. This control accurately synchs your sub and front speakers through the down-low frequencies where they overlap. USB Port Allows you to connect our optional acoustic superhero ...

Input
Line-Level (RCA) Input
Allows connection from the Sub/LFE Output of an A/V
receiver, processor or other suitable low-level source.
IMPORTANT:
Speakers set to ‘Large’ with your
A/V receiver or processor will still be reproducing
bass frequencies so be very careful not to over-
drive them!
Controls
Auto-On/Standby
Your subwoofer will turn on when it receives an input signal—eliminating the need for a power switch. If no signal
is sensed for a period of time, the subwoofer will automatically switch to a low-power standby state.
Subwoofer Level
Balances the subwoofer output level to your speakers.
Subwoofer Cut-Off and Bypass Option
Controls the subwoofer’s upper-frequency cut-off. This can be set to match the low-frequency roll-off characteristics
of your front speakers. For example, if your front speakers play to approximately 80 Hz, you can set the subwoofer
cut-off frequency to approximately 80 Hz.
Bypass Option
allows you to bypass the subwoofer’s built-in cut-off control to let your preamplifier/processor’s or
receiver’s internal bass manage m
ent system provide the crossover function.
Phase Alignment
Depending on where you put the subwoofer there may be bass frequency cancellation. This can occur because
your subwoofer and front speakers are out-of-phase—they work against each other through their frequency
overlap region. Bass is then reduced and may even sound disjointed. This control accurately synchs your sub and
front speakers through the down-low frequencies where they overlap.
