1 2 3 CROSSOVER FREQUENCY CONTROL : Adjusts the upper limit of the subwoofer’s frequency range. Continuously variable from 50Hz to 150Hz for precise matching of subwoofer bass reproduction with other speaker(s) in your system. The default crossover frequency is set at 130 Hz, for use with the PULSE SOUNDBAR.
CHOOSE PLACEMENT Room Acoustics If you are critical about low-frequency response, there’s quite a bit of useful experimentation you can do, especially in combination with the crossover, level, and phase controls of the PULSE SUB. Begin by considering the size of the listening room. The larger the volume of air a speaker must move, the more acoustic output is required to achieve the sound levels you want. In smaller rooms, sound attenuation tends to be offset by reinforcement from wall reflections.
CONNECT FOR SOUND There are several ways to connect the PULSE SUB to your audio system. Wireless Connection The PULSE SUB is designed first and foremost to be a wireless subwoofer solution for the Bluesound PULSE SOUNDBAR. To use the PULSE SUB wirelessly, there is a simple pairing process to connect it directly with the PULSE SOUNDBAR. Press and hold the Pairing Button on the rear panel of the PULSE SUB for approximately 5 seconds, then release.
NEXT-LEVEL CALIBRATION The settings on the PULSE SUB have been set to default levels in order to work well with the Bluesound PULSE SOUNDBAR in most listening environments. However, you may still require some adjustments to the settings based on placement and personal preference. The following procedure assumes your PULSE SUB is installed and connected. If possible, work in a team with another person: one listening, one making subwoofer-control adjustments.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Action No sound Ensure the main power switch is on. This switch is located at the back of the subwoofer.
