Important Safety Information
- Power Source: This is a passive subwoofer and requires an external amplifier. Ensure the amplifier's power output matches the subwoofer's power handling capabilities to prevent damage.
- Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating.
- Moisture: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Do not use near water.
- Placement: Place the subwoofer on a stable, level surface. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
- Cables: Use high-quality speaker cables with appropriate Speakon connectors to ensure secure and reliable connections.
- Servicing: Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
- Hearing Protection: Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can cause permanent hearing damage. Use caution when operating at high volumes.
Setup and Connections
Follow these steps to properly set up your Mr. Dj PRO-SUB15 passive subwoofer:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the subwoofer from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
- Placement: Position the subwoofer in the desired location. Consider acoustic properties of the room for optimal bass response.
- Connecting to an Amplifier:
- Ensure your amplifier is turned off before making any connections.
- Connect a Speakon cable from the amplifier's output to one of the Speakon input/output jacks on the PRO-SUB15.
- The PRO-SUB15 features dual Speakon connectors, allowing for flexible connection options, including daisy-chaining to another passive speaker.
- Connecting Satellite Speakers (Optional):
- If using satellite speakers, connect them to the appropriate outputs on your amplifier or crossover unit. The PRO-SUB15 is a subwoofer and does not directly power satellite speakers.
- Pole Mounting: The PRO-SUB15 includes a pole mount socket on its top surface. This allows for mounting a satellite speaker on a standard speaker pole (not included) directly above the subwoofer for an elevated sound stage.
- Insert a standard speaker pole into the socket on the top of the subwoofer.
- Mount your satellite speaker onto the top of the speaker pole, ensuring it is securely fastened.

Operation
Once all connections are made, you can begin operating your PRO-SUB15 subwoofer:
- Power On: Turn on your amplifier and any connected audio sources.
- Volume Adjustment: Start with the amplifier's volume at its lowest setting. Gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.
- Crossover Settings: If your amplifier or external crossover has adjustable low-pass filter settings, adjust them to blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers. A common starting point is between 80Hz and 120Hz.
- Phase Control: Some amplifiers or crossovers offer a phase control (0° or 180°). Experiment with this setting to achieve the most coherent bass response with your main speakers.
- Monitoring: Listen carefully to ensure the subwoofer is not overdriven, which can lead to distortion and potential damage.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your subwoofer:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the subwoofer. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes.
- Storage: If storing the subwoofer for an extended period, keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Periodically check all cables and connections for wear or damage.
