3 FUNCTION BUTTON : A) TOGGLE SUB ON/OFF: When the PULSE SUB+ is network-paired to another Player, pressing the Function Button once will toggle the Player’s Subwoofer ON/OFF switch in the BluOS App. With the switch set to ON, a crossover is engaged: the SUB+ will handle the low frequency while the paired Player will handle the higher frequency content, as dictated by the crossover level. With the switch set to OFF, the crossover is disengaged and the paired Player handles the full frequency range.
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 SUB+ is designed first and foremost as a wireless subwoofer solution to be used with other Bluesound Players. To use the SUB+ wirelessly, you need to connect it to your desired network. A simple App-based process will help you connect your SUB+ and pair it with another Bluesound Player. Follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide to get your SUB+ positioned and powered on.
NEXT-LEVEL CALIBRATION The settings in the PULSE SUB+ have been set to default levels in order to work well with your Bluesound Player 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 SUB+ is installed, connected to the network, and paired with a Player. If you are using the SUB+ as a non-networked, powered subwoofer, your ability to do next-level calibration will be limited.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Action No sound Ensure the power cord is connected to the subwoofer and plugged into a live AC outlet. The PULSE SUB+ utilizes signal sensing auto on/off circuitry. If no signal is sent to the subwoofer, it will not power up. When using the subwoofer output of a receiver or processor, no signal may be immediately present in this output. The subwoofer will only power up when bass signal appears at the subwoofer input.
WARNING! THIS IS A FACTORY RESET OF YOUR PLAYER. ALL CUSTOMIZATION INCLUDING WI-FI NETWORK CONFIGURATION, FILE SHARES AND SAVED PLAYLISTS WILL BE LOST. YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-CREATE THESE ONCE COMPLETE. THIS PROCESS IS ONLY RECOMMENDED IF YOUR PLAYER IS NOT FUNCTIONING AND AN INTERNET FIRMWARE UPGRADE HAS FAILED. FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS CONTACT AN AUTHORISED BLUESOUND CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE BEFORE PROCEEDING! Steps to Factory Reset: 1. Disconnect the player from electrical power. 2. Wait 30 seconds.
