Please read this manual fully before unpacking and
installing the product. It will help you to optimise
the performance of your subwoofer.
Unpacking and maintenance
Your speaker should be treated with the same care
you would treat a piece of furniture. Use only a
piece of soft cloth and a small quantity of warm
soapy water to clean the loudspeakers. Avoid
touching the cone of the bass unit. After unpacking,
we suggest you retain all packing material for
future transports.
System
DLS TSub 8 is an efficient, active subwoofer with a
built-in 300 W power amplifier. The loudspeaker
unit is a specially developed 8” long-stroke woofer
with a powerful magnetic system.
DLS TSub 8 is designed to interact with Hi-Fi
equipment, surround installations and multi-media
systems. The subwoofer allows great freedom in
placement. With the control you can adjust crossover frequency and level, which makes it easy to
adjust for the acoustics in your listening room.
IMPORTANT!
Before connecting electricity to the power supply ,
it is important that the POWER switch is OFF and
check so the AC switch 115V-230V is set at correct
voltage for your country. Connect the subwoofers
input signals befor you switch the POWER switch
to ON.
Connection alternatives:
Surround system connections
Surround amplifier provide a separate subwoofer
line output, use a "Line Cable" from this output to
LINE IN right (R), fig 3. You can also use a "Split
Cable" to connect the subwoofer line output to both
LINE IN, left (L) and right (R), fig 4. The sensitivity
then increases with 6 dB.
2-chanel stereo connections
-Line level input
Should your amplifier have separate pre-amplifier
outputs, you should connect those to LINE IN, left
(L) and right (R). Use a "Stereo Line Cable". Your
front speakers remain connected to the
loudspeaker outputs of the stereo amplifier.

WARNING:
Tuning the system
Running-in period
The performance of the subwoofer will change
subtly during the listening period. Please allow
your new subwoofer to play about 50 hours of
music at normal listening level before doing any
critical listening.
Placement
The bass reproduction in a room is the result from
many factors. The performance of the subwoofer,
the dimensions of the room and the placement of
the subwoofer. The most important factor is
probably where in the room the subwoofer is
placed. The character will change as you move the
subwoofer around, small changes in positions 20cm can have a significant effect on the sound.
We recommend that you try out what give maximum performance in your room; by a wall, in a
corner or a free-standing position.

VOLUME
WARNING:
VOLUME control
This control is used to adjust the balance between
subwoofer and front or satellite speakers. Once
you have found a pleasant balance there should be
little need for further adjustments. Trust your ears
and your personal taste to find the correct setting.
LOW-PASS CROSSOVER control.
The active crossover network of the DLS TSub 8
can be continuously adjusted from 30 to 100 Hz.
This frequency is the split frequency between the
subwoofer and the front or satellite speakers. A
higher crossover frequency eases the load of the
front speakers while a lower crossover improves
the stereo image. As with the level control you
need to try out what suits your equipment, room
and ears the best.
PHASE switch.
This switch changes the phase of the subwoofer
sound 180°. Normal position is 0°, but for reasons
of placement it could occur that subwoofer and
front speakers are out of phase at the crossover
frequency. You recognize this as weak bass
reproduction that just barely can be adjusted with
the level control. Instead you change the phase.
The switch can be used while the subwoofer is on,
and again, your ears are the proper instrument to
decide.
Service

service, or if you have difficulty in achieving the
