Powered Subwoofer
Break In Period
Allow several hours of listening time to adequately break-in the subwoofer. As the
subwoofer breaks-in, the driver suspensions will loosen. e result of break-in will
be an increase in low frequency response, improved denition, and increased clarity
and detail.
Care and Cleaning
To maintain your subwoofer’s appearance, we recommend wiping it down with
a clean damp so cloth. To clean dust from the grille cloth, use a vacuum with a
brush attachment.
Features

component that adds excitement to your theater or music experience. e powered
subwoofer has its own source of amplication (as opposed to passive, non-amplied
subwoofers which require an additional power amplier). Subwoofers can add
considerable low-frequency, deep bass performance to any home theater or audio
system.

produces enhanced bass denition and accuracy. A powerful magnet, enhanced
suspension and heavy duty voice coil give the driver elevated performance allowing
high output capability and accurate dynamic reproduction.
e powered subwoofer incorporates a class D amplier with switching power
supply technology, resulting in higher power output, improved bass performance
and maximum energy eciency.
