4. Configuració

4.1 Desembalatge

Carefully remove the subwoofer from its packaging. Retain all packing materials for future transport or servicing. Inspect the subwoofer for any signs of damage. If damage is present, contact your dealer or SVS customer support immediately.

4.2 Col·locació

Subwoofer placement significantly impacts performance. Consider the following:

• Col·locació de la cantonada: Often provides the most output and deepest extension, but can sometimes lead to 'boomy' bass.
• Front of Room Placement: Placing the subwoofer near the front speakers can create a more seamless soundstage.
• Mid-Wall Placement: Can offer a good balance of output and accuracy.
• Multiple Subwoofers: If using more than one subwoofer, strategic placement can smooth out the bass response across the listening area.

4.3 Connexions

The PC-2000 Pro offers various connection options. Ensure your AV receiver or processor is turned off before making any connections.

• Entrada LFE: For most home theater setups, connect a single RCA cable from the LFE output of your AV receiver to the LFE input on the subwoofer.
• Stereo RCA Inputs: For 2-channel stereo systems, connect RCA cables from the stereo pre-outs of your pre-amplifier or receiver to the Left and Right RCA inputs on the subwoofer.
• Entrades de nivell d'altaveu: If your receiver does not have RCA outputs, you can use the speaker level inputs. Connect speaker wires from your receiver's main speaker outputs to the subwoofer's speaker level inputs.

5. Funcionament del subwoofer

5.1 SVS App Control

The SVS PC-2000 Pro can be fully controlled via the SVS mobile app, available for iOS and Android devices. Download the app and connect to your subwoofer via Bluetooth. The app provides access to all DSP functions and settings.

5.2 Configuració bàsica

• Volum: Adjust the overall output level of the subwoofer. Start with a moderate level and fine-tune to blend with your main speakers.
• Filtre de pas baix (crossover): Sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. This should typically be set slightly above the lowest frequency your main speakers can reproduce. If using an AV receiver with bass management, set the subwoofer's low pass filter to LFE or bypass.
• Fase: Adjusts the timing of the subwoofer's output relative to your main speakers. This can be critical for seamless blending. Experiment with 0 and 180 degrees.
• Polaritat: Inverts the electrical polarity of the subwoofer's output. This is different from phase and is rarely needed for adjustment.

5.3 Advanced Settings (SVS App)

• Parametric EQ (PEQ): Allows for precise room correction by applying filters at specific frequencies to address room modes or peaks.
• Compensació de guany d'habitació: Reduces excessive bass output in smaller rooms where room gain can cause an unnatural boost in low frequencies.
• Port Tuning: The PC-2000 Pro is a ported design. The app may offer options related to port tuning, such as sealing ports with foam bungs for a sealed subwoofer response.

6. Manteniment

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your SVS PC-2000 Pro Subwoofer.

• Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the cabinet. For piano gloss finishes, use a microfiber cloth to avoid scratches. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive chemicals.
• Pols: Regularly dust the subwoofer, especially the driver and port areas, to prevent buildup.
• Col·locació: Avoid placing the subwoofer in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can damage the finish and internal components.
• Emmagatzematge: If storing the subwoofer for an extended period, use the original packaging to protect it from dust and physical damage. Store in a cool, dry place.
