Congratulations on your purchase of an Elura

Black Label Series SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 powered
subwoofer. It will give your stereo, or home theater
system unparalleled low frequency output.

Bass frequencies are critical to realistic sound
reproduction. After you’ve hooked up your
SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 subwoofer, you’ll discover
just how much “punch” and depth you’ve been
missing. No matter what kind of music or videos
you listen to... whether you listen to it loud or soft,
you’ll experience sound that’s richer and fuller.
Bass guitar and string bass will have more
impact. You’ll be able to FEEL as well as hear
percussion – just the way you would at a live per­formance. If you have an audio/video system,
movies will come alive with thunderous sound
effects that were never possible without the Elura
SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2.

The Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 is a self-powered
subwoofer that frees your receiver or power
amplifier from the power demands of reproduc­ing very low frequencies. To do this, the Elura
SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 incorporates its own built-in
crossover system that automatically “assigns”
lower frequencies to its own power amplifier, con­tained within the subwoofer enclosure.

The Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 has been meticu­lously designed and tested to insure high perfor­mance, durability and longevity.

This manual is designed to take you step-by-step
through the hook-up and operating process. This
procedure is not difficult, but it IS slightly different
than hooking up a line level component such as
a cassette deck or DVD player. Reading this man­ual carefully will insure that you get maximum per­formance from your Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2.

A. UNPACKING

Remove the Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 from its
packing carefully and inspect it for any shipping
damage. If you discover damage, contact your
Elura dealer or installer immediately.

If possible, save the carton and internal packing.
It’s the best possible protection for your Elura
SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 if you need to move it or
return it for service.

Keep your sales receipt in a secure place. It helps
establish the duration of your warranty and is good
for insurance purposes (just in case anything
happens to your stereo/home theater system).

B. AMPLIFIER

PANEL TOUR

Before actual hookup, you should
familiarize yourself with the con­nections on the back of the Elura
SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2, as shown
in Fig.1.

1. POWER INDICATOR:

OFF = No color
STANDBY = Red
ON = Blue.

2. LFE/SUBWOOFER/ LOW LE­VEL LINE IN (line level connec­tions). These connections are

used if you have a preamplifier or
a receiver/integrated amplifier
which has LFE, subwoofer, or
line level outputs that follow the
volume control, or to connect to
the line-level audio output of a
flat panel TV.

3. VOLUME CONTROL. Rotating
this knob clockwise increases
the output level of the subwoofer.
To start out, make sure that the
VOLUME is turned all the way
down (fully counterclockwise).
Later, after some initial listening tests, you can adjust the volume to your own taste. However, care
should be taken not to overdrive the subwoofer to the point of audible distortion.

4. CROSSOVER FREQUENCY CONTROL. This control determines what lower part of the
frequency spectrum will be reproduced by the Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2. It is a “crossover” con­trol. Rotating the knob sets the point where all lower frequencies will be handled by the subwoofer.

As a starting point, set the control around 100Hz if you are using left and right tower speakers,
125 - 150Hz. with bookshelf or small mini-speakers.

5. PHASE SWITCH. This switch is used to set the subwoofer’s phase between normal “0°”
or reverse “180°” (out of phase). Once you determine the placement of the Elura SUBB8.2/
SUBB10.2, you will need to set this switch for the best bass output for your listening position. The
physical location of your subwoofer and main speakers determines the phase setting that will
sound best at your main listening position.

6. OFF/AUTO/ ON SWITCH. This switch turns Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 on or into AUTO mode.
When this switch is in the AUTO position, the amplifier will stay turned on as long as a signal is
being fed to the subwoofer amplifier. Approximately 8 minutes after you stop playing music or a
video, the amplifier goes into STANDBY mode. When you again begin to play music or a video,
the amplifier will automatically turn on. With the switch in the ON mode the amplifier will stay on
indefinitely.

7. NON-REMOVABLE AC POWER CORD.
