CONNECTING TO YOUR SYSTEM
ALWAYS MAKE AND CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS BEFORE PLUGGING THE SUBWOOFER INTO THE MAINS.
FOR LINE LEVEL CONNECTION
For use with an AV receiver or DVD receiver, connect a screened phono cable from the receiver SUB output to the L/LFE
low level phono input on the rear of the subwoofer.
NOTE: FOR THIS MODE OF OPERATION, THE CROSSOVER FREQUENCY CONTROL ON THE SUBWOOFER
SHOULD BE INITIALLY SET TO ‘BYPASS’- YOUR AV RECEIVER OR DVD RECEIVER WILL DETERMINE THE EXACT
CROSSOVER FREQUENCY, TYPICALLY 80HZ.
If you are using the subwoofer with a 2 channel or stereo system and your preamplifier has a spare set of outputs,
connect left and right to the subwoofer L/LFE and R inputs using screened phono cables, and adjust the crossover
frequency control to match the low frequency roll off of your main loudspeakers. If unsure, you may need to experiment.
If you wish to ‘daisy chain’ two subwoofers for use in a larger room, the OUTPUT phono connection(s) on the first
subwoofer can be connected to the INPUT phono connection(s) on the second subwoofer, using screened cable(s).
SETTING UP
Ensure the POWER switch is in the OFF position. You can operate the TS2-10 and TS2-12 subwoofers in two modes,
SIGNAL SENSE and ALWAYS ON. Set to SIGNAL SENSE, the unit remains switched off until a signal is present (power
saving), set to ALWAYS ON the unit runs continuously.
Connect the subwoofer to a convenient mains socket using the lead and plug supplied.
Set the VOLUME control to mid position, PHASE SWITCH to 0°, CROSSOVER FREQUENCY to BYPASS. Set
your AV receiver/decoder to LFE or SUB output to ON and play a selection of music and movie material to establish
optimum settings. Having established roughly the correct volume setting, adjust the PHASE control to see if a stronger
bass response can be achieved at the listening position. Some further fine tuning may be possible by adjusting the
CROSSOVER FREQUENCY control.
