• High Flux Magnet & USA-Made Voice Coil: Powered by dual stacked high-flux Y30 80oz Strontium Ferrite magnets and a 2" high-temp voice coil (Made in USA) for deep, controlled bass and thermal stability.
• Custom Surround & Cone: Features a custom high-roll foam surround with the MASSIVE logo and a textured non-pressed pulp cone infused with resin for enhanced excursion and responsiveness.
• Precision Suspension & Signal Flow: High-grade woven round tinsel leads and a precision spider suspension system ensure accurate cone movement and efficient signal transfer.
• Optimized Specs for Performance: X-Max of 12.5mm, FS of 39.5Hz, and a terminal case using flexible pure copper wire. Dual impedance options offer versatile wiring for custom installations.

3. Opsætning og installation

3.1 Anbefalinger til indkapsling

The GTR84 subwoofer performs optimally in properly designed enclosures. For best results, consider the following recommendations:

• Ported Box: Approximately 0.96 cubic feet (9.6"H x 15"D x 10.8"W) tuned to 39.9Hz.
• Forseglet æske: Approximately 0.5 cubic feet.

3.2 Wiring Configurations (Dual 4 Ohm)

The GTR84 features dual 4 Ohm voice coils, offering flexibility in wiring to match your ampimpedanskravene til forsyningen. Sørg altid for, at din ampLifieren er stabil ved den valgte impedans.

3.2.1 Series Wiring (8 Ohm Total)

Tilslut den positive terminal på talespole 1 til den negative terminal på talespole 2. Tilslut derefter ampadapterens positive udgang til den positive terminal på talespole 2, og ampadapterens negative udgang til den negative terminal på talespole 1. Denne konfiguration resulterer i en belastning på 8 ohm.

3.2.2 Parallel Wiring (2 Ohm Total)

Connect the positive terminals of both voice coils together. Connect the negative terminals of both voice coils together. Then, connect the ampforsyningens positive udgang til de kombinerede positive terminaler, og amptransformerens negative udgang til de kombinerede negative terminaler. Denne konfiguration resulterer i en belastning på 2 ohm.

3.3 Montering

Ensure the mounting surface is rigid and free from obstructions. Use appropriate mounting hardware to secure the subwoofer firmly within the enclosure. Refer to the dimension diagram for precise cutout and mounting hole measurements.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

4.1 Initial Power-Up and Break-in

After installation, gradually increase the volume during the first few hours of use. This 'break-in' period allows the subwoofer's suspension components to loosen and settle, leading to optimal performance. Avoid playing at maximum volume during this initial phase.

4.2 Amplifier indstillinger

Korrekt indstilling af din amplifier's gain and crossover frequencies is crucial for sound quality and subwoofer longevity.

• Forstærkningsindstilling: Indstil ampforstærkningen, der matcher udgangsvolumenettage på din hovedenhed. Undgå at indstille forstærkningen for højt, da dette kan føre til forvrængning og potentiel skade.
• Lavpasfilter (LPF): Indstil LPF'en på din amplifier to filter out frequencies above the subwoofer's intended range, typically between 80Hz and 120Hz.
• Subsonisk filter: If available, set a subsonic filter to protect the subwoofer from playing frequencies below its resonant frequency (Fs), which is 39.9Hz for the GTR84. A setting around 30Hz is often appropriate.

5. Vedligeholdelse

To ensure the longevity and performance of your GTR84 subwoofer, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe down the subwoofer cone and surround. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
• Inspektion: Periodically inspect the subwoofer for any signs of damage, such as tears in the surround or cone, loose connections, or unusual wear.
• Miljøforhold: Protect the subwoofer from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation around the enclosure to prevent overheating.

6. Fejlfinding

If you experience issues with your GTR84 subwoofer, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Ingen lyd:
  • Check all wiring connections (power, ground, remote, signal, speaker).
  • Bekræft amplifier is powered on and not in protection mode.
  • Ensure the head unit is sending an audio signal.
• Forvrænget lyd:
  • Reducer ampIndstilling af lifterforstærkning.
  • Kontroller, at delefiltret er korrekt indstillet.
  • Undersøg subwoofer-keglen og surroundhøjttaleren for fysiske skader.
• Overophedning:
  • Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation omkring amplifier og subwoofer.
  • Bekræft amplifier's impedance matches the subwoofer's wiring configuration.
  • Reduce prolonged high-volume playback.
