Placement Options
Place
the subwoofer next
to
a wall or in a corner near your main speakers. The sound
is
typically best
when
the subwoofer
is
within
15
feet (4.5m)
of
the main speakers. The sharp 24dB/octave crossover roll-off permits placement farther from the main
speakers
if
necessary. Since the ear
is
unable
to
localize the
low
frequencies
of
the subwoofer, the
bass
still appears
to
come
from the main speakers. Experimentation
is
key,
however most positions in the room will work well.
The level
of
bass
output
from the subwoofer will vary at different positions in a room. When placed near walls, its loudness
is
emphasized. Corner placement provides the most
bass
output. Placement completely away from walls may produce
too
little
bass.
Regardless
of
the natural
bass
level within the room you will always have the ability to adjust the level
of
the subwoofer
from the built in volume control. If at any
time
you move
the
subwoofer be sure
to
check
all
of
your settings.
IMPORTANT: Do
not
place the subwoofer where there
is
a chance
of
contact between the rear panel and drapes or furniture.

Connections
After your speakers are properly placed, you are ready
to
wire your system.
NOTE: Power
is
always supplied
to
the subwoofer electronics unless it
is
unplugged
or switched
to
the
off
position using the
power switch located on the rear panel. The auto-on circuitry only activates or deactivates
the
power amplifier. Make sure
your subwoofer and receiver
are
unplugged
when
making the connection.
Power: When plugging your subwoofer in be sure
to
use
a wall outlet, or dedicated electrical outlet. Some receivers will
provide a switched outlet. Do
not
use
this. These on board electrical outlets
do
not
offer the
amount
of
current or proper
isolation required by a
power
amplifier, such
as
the one in your amplifier.
Line level
or
LFE:
On most systems
use
the line level
in
or the
LFE
input. These inputs accept the line-level signal from your
receiver's subwoofer output. Your receiver's manual should indicate which
input
is
most appropriate.
