OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 2 Electrical Requirements IMPORTANT A mains cable is supplied with an IEC moulded socket at one end and a moulded mains plug at the other end. Where the moulded plug is fitted with a mains fuse, always replace with the same 5A rated fuse. If the fitted plug is unsuitable for your type of outlet sockets, it should be cut off and disposed of safely, in case it is inserted into a live socket elsewhere.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 2 Electrical Requirements FUSE PROTECTION An additional mains fuse is provided in the IEC power inlet on the back of the loudspeaker, which can only be removed with the power cord unplugged. This must be replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating (see Specifications or refer to rear panel). FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION } Store complete packaging in case it is needed for re-use. } Never expose the unit to moisture, water and extremes of temperature or humidity.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 3 Installation FITTING OF FEET Screw the four cones into the inserts on the base of the cabinet. Spikes and lock nuts are provided to provide stability when used on a carpet. For use on a wooden floor, the spikes should be inverted. CONNECTING TO YOUR SYSTEM For 2 channel stereo use, if your preamplifier has a spare set of outputs, connect left and right to the subwoofer L and R phono inputs using screened cable.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 3 Installation 2 CHANNEL STEREO Operation is basically the same as above, except the LFE switch should be set to OFF, and the XOVER FREQ. control must be set to suit your main speakers. If you know the lower roll-off frequency of your speakers (as given in the manual), set the control to this value as a starting point. If not, set the control to mid position. Using a range of music, adjust the control to give the smoothest integration between the main speakers and the subwoofer.
