Ecler AUDEO SB110P - Manual (Page 5)

5
The unit’s AC power supply uses the supplied IEC lead and the unit is turned on/off by the
ON/OFF switch. The "ON" LED is located on the left of the input jacks; it lights up in green when the
unit is on and in orange after entering low consumption (standby) mode, and this automatically
happens after detecting no input signal for a few minutes. The unit also automatically returns to "ON"
mode (green LED) when it re-detects an input signal.
The AUDEO SB110P control panel also features the following user controls:
•
PHASE: NORMAL/REVERSE. This switch allows you to invert the phase of the input
signal, so that output signal phase can be aligned with signals produced by the other
system speakers.
•
VOLUME: rotary control + ADJUST/0dBV FIXED switch. The switch allows the unit’s
volume to be fixed (not adjustable from the unit itself, but from the equipment
generating the input signals) or adjustable via the rotary knob located just to the left of
the switch.
An internal low-pass filter is incorporated to the AUDEO SB110P in order for the unit to
work on a selected sub-bass frequency range particularly suitable for combination with other AUDEO
series speakers.
5. PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
Please observe the following general rules:
As a subwoofer, the AUDEO SB110P has been designed to be installed in discrete places.
Low frequencies are considered to be non-directional so the AUDEO SB110P can be perfectly
placed in corners, under a table, behind curtains... that will not notably affect its output. Generally, it
should be known that placing it close to various surfaces will increase its efficiency. Consequently,
the sound pressure level will be higher if you place the speaker on the ground in a corner rather that
just beside a wall and even more that in the centre of a room.
There is no rule governing the number of mid/high speakers per subwoofer. It mainly
depends on the subwoofer location and on the room acoustics. Thus in a highly reflective room, a
subwoofer may even damage intelligibility while several subwoofers could be necessary in a room
with highly absorptive surfaces.
Always place the speakers on solid and firm surfaces.
Adapt the sound pressure levels to the diffusion needs.
