6. Phase Adjustment Control
Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer from 0 to 180 degrees, relative to the main speakers. A subwoofer in proper phase with
the rest of the speakers in a system is well integrated with the overall soundstage, adding bass frequencies which seamlessly
blend with the other speakers. An out of phase subwoofer will draw attention to itself by seeming to be disconnected from
the overall soundstage, sometimes sounding detached or disconnected to the other system speakers. It will also affect the
sound of the system in the mid bass; sometimes this appears to be a sense of physical distance from the other speakers.
To adjust the phase and properly integrate the subwoofer into your system, start with the Phase Adjustment Control on 0,
and gradually turn towards a higher number, taking time to step back and listen, until the imaging and integration seems
correct to you. This part of the process may take time, just relax and enjoy the process.
7. Standby Power Switch
Brings the subwoofer to full power from standby mode. You may use the Standby Power Switch in two different ways:
1. While the subwoofer is in standby mode, flip the switch to ‘ON’ to bring the subwoofer to full power, and ‘OFF” to return it
to standby mode.
2. With the subwoofer in standby mode, set the switch to ‘AUTO’. When the subwoofer senses an audio signal from the
preamplifier/processor, it will automatically go to full power (mode this may take two or three seconds). After ten minutes
with no audio signal, the subwoofer will return to standby mode. The ten minute delay allows for you to change CD’s, pause
a movie, etc., without shutting the subwoofer off and on repeatedly.

9. Main Power Switch
The Main Power Switch is located towards the bottom of the rear
panel of the subwoofer, towards the left. This switch has two
positions, marked as ‘O’ (off) and ‘1’ (On). Turning the switch to ‘1’
puts the subwoofer in standby mode. To bring the subwoofer to full
power, turn the Standby Power Switch to ‘ON’.
Note: ‘Standby’ Power consumes about 2 watts or less of power,
about half of what a conventional night light consumes. Your Ultra
Subwoofer was designed to stay in Standby mode indefinitely if
needed. If you are away from home for an extended period of time,
you may consider setting the main power switch to ‘0’ (Off position).
