CONNECTION TIPS
• Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming from induced
noise.
• Choose reliable signal cable cords (Earthquake Sound also specializes in high
performance RCA cables and patches).
• All speaker wires that are ran trough the walls should be twisted type to reduce
potential hum noise pick-up.
• It is best to use a grounded electrical outlet to power the amplier. Lack of input
ground reference could be unsafe. Consult with your electrical contractor about
proper grounding.
SAFE AND PROPER HANDLING
The Supernova MKVI DSP subwoofer is considerably heavy for an average person
to carry or maneuver. To prevent injuries and eliminate any possible damage to the
subwoofer, we encourage you to employ the help of a friend when unpacking the
unit. We further suggest the following.
• wear a back support belt if needed when carrying/lifting the MKVI DSP 12P/15P.
• If possible, get someone to help you move your subwoofer.
• Do not apply pressure or push against the face of the speaker as this will cause
irreparable damage to the cone and suspension.
