Subwoofer Jumpers
Jumpers for controlling the subwoofer channel are located on
the Cat. No. 513 equalization board. To gain access to these
jumpers, open the front panel and remove the plate covering
the equalization controls.
J501 Subwoofer Upper Frequency Limit Setting
This jumper sets upper frequency limit of the subwoofer
channel in optical or non-sync formats to either 50 Hz or
100 Hz. The recommended setting of this jumper depends on
the type of screen speakers in your cinema.
If you have the older horn-loaded type of speaker (such as
Altec A-4), the jumper should be set to 100 Hz and the
equalization for the left, center, and right screen speakers
should be rolled off below this frequency. These settings will
remove frequencies from the main screen speakers that they
cannot accurately reproduce at full power and send them to
the subwoofer which is better able to handle them. The factory
setting is 100 Hz.
If you have the newer direct-radiator type of screen speakers,
set J501 to the 50 Hz position and adjust the equalization of the
main screen speakers to roll off below that frequency.
J502 Subwoofer Mute Jumper
This jumper disables the subwoofer channel when it is placed
in the MUTE position. The subwoofer channel should be
muted during adjustment of the room equalization.
