2. Mid/High Outputs: If using a 2.1 system, connect your active mid/high speakers to the subwoofer's "Line Out Mid/High" XLR outputs.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

After all connections are made, switch on the subwoofer using the power switch located on the rear panel. It is recommended to power on your subwoofer last and power it off first in your audio chain to prevent pops or thumps.

2. Controls

The rear panel (refer to Figure 3) provides access to the following controls:

• Gain: Adjusts the overall output level of the subwoofer. Start with a low setting and gradually increase until the bass blends seamlessly with your main speakers.
• Phase: A 0°/180° phase switch helps align the subwoofer's output with your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the one that produces the most coherent and impactful bass.
• Crossover Frequency: This knob allows you to select the frequency point (75 Hz - 150 Hz) at which the subwoofer handles low frequencies, while frequencies above this point are sent to the mid/high outputs. Adjust this to match the low-frequency capabilities of your main speakers.
• Bass Boost: This special feature enhances the low-frequency response, providing a more pronounced bass impact. Use sparingly and adjust to taste.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your subwoofer, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes.
• Ventilation: Regularly check that the ventilation openings are free from dust and debris.
• Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, disconnect it from power and store it in a cool, dry place, protected from dust.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and audio cables for any signs of damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
