For connection to a Stereo Receiver or Preamplifier
without auto-set-up, adjust the PB-2000 PRO volume
to match the output of your main speakers, and
adjust the low pass filter to blend the bass between
the PB-2000 PRO and your speakers. If needed,
consult with our Sound Experts on the best phase
setting.
For additional guidance on recommended crossover or low pass filter settings specific to your system,
visit our Subwoofer Matching Tool at www.svsound.com/merlin, or just call, email or chat online with
our Sound Experts: [phone] | [e-mail] | www.svsound.com
For connection to an AV Receiver, set the PB-2000 PRO volume to -10 in the app (on
the rear panel, all but the last two lights illuminated). Set the low pass filter to LFE
and the phase to 0 degrees, then run auto-set-up on the AV Receiver. Always re-run
set-up if you move the subwoofer to another location.
