1. Volume Control: The volume control should be at the

minimum setting (all the way counter clockwise) before

plugging the subwoofer into a 120V AC wall socket.

2. Crossover Frequency Control: The variable

crossover frequency control allows you to set the

crossover point of the subwoofer anywhere from

50-150 Hz. This control is only active with use

of the left and right line level inputs (#5). If using

these inputs experiment with setting the crossover

frequency control at highest setting initially.

Increasing the crossover frequency will allow more

mid-bass output from the subwoofer. Decreasing

the frequency will cut more mid-bass output from

the subwoofer.

3. Phase Control: This control changes the phase

of the subwoofer. Changing the phase will change

the way the subwoofer and main speakers interact

with each other at the crossover frequency. Varying

the phase position may result in more or less mid-

bass depending on the phasing between the main

speakers and the subwoofer. Generally, the phase

is left at the 0° position.

4. LFE Line Level Input: Typically this will be the

line level input used to connect to most receivers

or processors. The LFE input will bypass the

subwoofers crossover control, rendering it non-

functioning. This input should be used when the

input signal is coming from a receiver or processor

where the bass management is controlled by the

receiver or processor.

5. L/R Line Level Input: If a full-range signal is being

sent from the receiver or processor then these inputs should be used. In this

configuration the crossover frequency (#2) is active.

6. High Level Input: These binding post terminal connectors are for the amplifier/

speaker level input from an amplifier or receiver. Usually, the LFE line level input

(#4) will be used. Important! Use either the Line Input or the High Level Input.

DO NOT use them both simultaneously.

7. High Level/Speaker Output: This is a 100 Hz high pass crossover for your

satellite/main speakers. The crossover limits the low frequencies (below 100 Hz)

from going to your satellite/main speakers. You may use this crossover only when

using the High Level Input terminals. Connect your main speakers (observing the

proper polarity) to the terminals labeled “High Level Out”.
