Controls
The
S8
offers these simple
yet
versatile controls and features:
Volume
The volume control
is
for
matching
the
subwoofer volume
to
the
level
of
your
speakers. The best advice
we
can give
on
volume levels
is
to
adjust
for
the
strongest
bass
without
being "boomy'~
Note
that
the
S8
volume controls
the
S8
subwoofer level
only
and does
not
control
the
input
volume.
In
other
words
the
overall system
volume
is
controlled from
your
music source.
Crossover
The crossover control
is
used
to
set
the
subwoofer high frequency
cutoff
point, which
is
the
point
at
which
the
subwoofer transitions
to
your speakers. For example,
if
the
crossover control
is
set
to
the
SOHz
mark
then
the
sub will play all frequencies
up
to
SOHz.
All frequencies
from
SOHz
and higher will then be played
by
the
other
speakers.
Fine-tune
the
crossover setting
by
ear
for
the
smoothest blend
with
your main speakers. There really are
no
right
or
wrong
setting
so
don't
hesitate
to
experiment
to
fir,d
the
sound
that
works
for
your
setup.
Phase
Phase
is
the
degree
to
which
the
subwoofer and
other
speakers are
moving
at
the
same time. Once you have chosen a location
for
your
S8,
try
flipping
the
phase switch back and
forth
while
you listen
for
the
most
bass
from your favorite listening position. Sometimes
no
difference will be heard, which
is
OK
as
there's
no
correct phase setting
and
it
is
not
uncommon
for
the
subwoofer
to
sound similar
at
each
setting depending on your room and sub location.
