Adjusting Your Subwoofer

Once everything is hooked up properly, you’re ready to “fine tune” your
system to your preferences.

The following suggestions will give you a good start. Remember that
they are suggestions only. You may choose to vary the control settings
to suit your room and speaker placement.

Set the Crossover control to 150 Hz (all the way to the right).
This will direct most of the deep bass information to the
subwoofer.

Set the Volume control (actually a “bass level” control) to
maximum.

Select “Auto On” by choosing the middle position of the three
position slider switch.

Set the Phase switch to normal (NOR).

Play a favorite music CD or DVD. Concentrate on the amount
of bass you hear and decide if you like that sound.

If you think there’s too much bass, turn the Volume control
down until you’re satisfied with the sound. (You may also want
to tweak the Crossover control by turning it slowly to the left.)

Once you’re pleased with the sound, flip the Phase switch
between NOR and REV (reverse) to see if that makes a
discernable difference.

You’ll probably have to play with these adjustments several times until
you achieve just the sound quality you really like. Don’t worry – it’s just
part of the fun.

BreakIn

Many people believe speakers improve with age.

With TSC speakers, you’ll notice a change in timbre, responsiveness,
and sheer musicality as you use them because the drivers “settle in”
with use.

How long should you wait? That depends, for example, on whether you
listen AM radio at low volume or full orchestral music at live concert
levels. In general, you’ll begin to hear differences after 2030 hours of
us.

Care

Your TSC speakers don’t need much maintenance. Dust them
occasionally. And don’t your kids try to push in the drivers, either!

Above all, enjoy! That’s what your TSC speakers were designed for and
why we take such pride in bringing them to you!
