Owners guide for DLS TSub 8 subwoofer
Introduction
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
Should your DLS sobwoofer system require service, or if you have difficulty in achieving the fine performance of which your DLS loudspeaker system is capable, consult the DLS dealer from whom the system was purchased. Your dealer has the knowledge required to provide expert advice and assistance. In case the DLS dealer is unable to assist you, you are welcome to contact the DLS Technical Department: info@dls.se
