Configuració
Col·locació
The placement of your subwoofer can significantly impact its performance. Experiment with different locations to find the best bass response for your room. Common placements include:
- Col·locació de la cantonada: Often provides the most bass output due to room gain.
- Near Main Speakers: Can improve integration with your main speakers for a more seamless soundstage.
- Posició d'escolta: The 'subwoofer crawl' method involves placing the subwoofer at your listening position and crawling around the room to find where the bass sounds best, then placing the subwoofer there.
Connexions
Ensure the subwoofer is powered off before making any connections.
- RCA Connection (Recommended):
- Connect an RCA cable from the 'Subwoofer Out' or 'LFE Out' jack on your AV receiver/processor to the 'Line In / Sub In' (L or R, or both if available) on the subwoofer.
- High-Level Speaker Connection:
- Connect speaker wires from the speaker outputs of your amplifier/receiver to the 'Speaker Level In' terminals on the subwoofer. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Then, connect your main speakers from the 'Speaker Level Out' terminals on the subwoofer (if available, otherwise connect main speakers directly to ampmés viu).
En funcionament
Encès inicial
- Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions siguin segures.
- Plug the subwoofer's power cord into a wall outlet.
- Set the 'Power Mode' switch to 'On' or 'Auto'.
- Enceneu el vostre receptor AV/amplifier and play some audio.
Ajust de la configuració
- Volume Level Adjustment: Start with the volume knob at its minimum setting. Gradually increase the volume until the subwoofer's output blends seamlessly with your main speakers.
- Low-Pass Filter Adjustment: This control determines the highest frequency the subwoofer will reproduce. Adjust it to blend with the low-frequency cutoff of your main speakers. A common starting point is 80Hz for most bookshelf speakers. If your receiver has a built-in crossover, set the subwoofer's low-pass filter to its maximum (150Hz) or bypass it if possible.
- Control de fase: The phase switch (0° or 180°) helps ensure that the subwoofer's sound waves align with those of your main speakers at the listening position. Experiment with both settings to find which one provides the most impactful and coherent bass.
- Power Mode Settings:
- A: El subwoofer roman encès contínuament.
- Automàtic: El subwoofer s'encén automàticament quan es detecta un senyal d'àudio i entra en mode d'espera després d'un període d'inactivitat.
- Apagat: El subwoofer està apagat.

To clean the subwoofer, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
Emmagatzematge
