The VRM10s/VRM12s/VRM15s monitors utilize a specially designed amplifier featuring our innovative Trans•ana circuitry. This topology, with its unique input-to-output configuration (derived from
our patented Trans•nova circuit), employs power gain in the MOSFET output stage that result in
superior sound quality.
The amplifier features an auto turn-on/off circuit that eliminates the need for a conventional power
switch. Input signals can be fed into the amplifier via Un-Balanced RCA jacks or Speaker level input
jacks. Each pair of inputs is combined into a mono-summed signal before being fed into a 4th order
Linkwitz-Riley low-pass crossover, adjustable from 40Hz~140Hz. If selected, the signal is then fed
into the Phase Control that allows the phase of the signal to be adjusted at 90˚, 180˚, or 270˚ increments.
The VRM10s is a 10” (254mm) low frequency transducer that features a 2” (51mm) voice coil and is
driven by a 30 oz. magnet. The VRM12s is a 12” (305mm) low frequency transducer that features a
2.5” (63.5mm) voice coil and is driven by a 102 oz. magnet. The VRM15s is a 15” (381mm) low frequency transducer that features a 2.5” (63.5mm) voice coil and is driven by a 153 oz. magnet. All
VRM transducers feature Cellulose Fiber cones for accurate sound reproduction and Santoprene
Rubber Surrounds that are immune to temperature fluctuations. This specialized rubber surround
controls woofer damping and reduces 2nd harmonic distortions for a very wide and flat frequency
response. The VRM series voice coils are 4-layers of copper wound on aluminum formers.
Aluminum voice coil formers provide excellent heat dissipation that provides higher power handling
versus plastic or Kapton type formers used by other manufacturers.
Introduction
Technical Design Features
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the HAFLER series of Subwoofer, the world's
finest brand in professional audio equipment.
The VRM series is comprised of three modules; the VRM10s, VRM12s, and VRM15s. The VRM10s
is an amplified 10" subwoofer. The VRM12s is an amplified 12" subwoofer and the VRM15s is an
amplified 15" subwoofer. All VRM series are designed and engineered for Home Theater Systems.
For ease of use, this manual is organized into two main sections: Installation and Operation.
"Installation" covers the set-up of your new HAFLER equipment in the system. "Operation" covers
the controls and how to use them for optimum performance.

MEHSA
(Maximum Efficiency HeatSink Application) MEHSA is a proprietary process that yields up to 5 times
better heat transfer than traditional FET mounting techniques using the exact same components. A
multi-layer insulated metal substrate operating with minimal thermal resistance spreads heat both
downward and outward to quickly dissipate heat from each device across the heatsink. This process
combined with our DSM technology and MOSFET devices allows us to squeeze more watts per cubic
inch from every output device as well as provide consistent thermal stability.
The Result: Better reliability through faster heat dissipation.
Trans•ana
Trans•ana (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) is a circuit that allows the audio signal to pass
through the amplifier at low voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage rails
via a pair of driver transistors. Signal linearity is assured by an active node formed by the driver transistors at ultrasonic frequencies. This allows amplifier performance similar to Trans•nova which is highly
stable and linear while utilizing the advantages of a non-floating power supply.
The Result: An extended frequency band width accurately supplied to the output stages of the
amplifier.
MOSFET Devices
HAFLER is one of the few manufacturers in the sound community to utilize MOSFET devices in the
amplifier output stage. MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) devices offer several important inherent advantages over older bi-polar designs. These advantages include: thermal stability, fast switching speed, ultra low output impedance and wide bandwidth linearity. In addition,
MOSFETs operate very similarly to vacuum tubes in that they are more linear than bipolar transistors.
However, MOSFETs can deliver the midrange clarity without the limitations of transient response and
high frequency phase shifting normally associated with tube
operation.
The Result: Thermal stability, fast switching speed, ultra low output impedance and wide bandwidth
linearity.

Subsonic Filter
The VRM series uses a Subsonic Filter to prevent the woofer from reproducing inaudible frequencies.
Subsonic frequencies (known as infrasonic frequencies) are signals below the normal human hearing
range.The subsonic filter reduces the energy of these frequencies and restrains the woofer from operating outside its optimum linear excursion. This type of electronic control eliminates the mechanical distortion caused by a woofer traveling beyond its XMAX, improves power handling, increases reliability
and improves sonic performance.
The Result: Improved power handling, increased reliability and improved sonic performance.
Phase Control
The Phase Control is used to align the arrival time of the subwoofer’s output information with satellite monitors. Aligning
both signals will insure that both Subwoofer and reference
monitor information arrive at the listening position at the same
time. This eliminates the possibility of acoustical cancellation
and improves the reproduction of transients in the crossover
region.
The Result: Eliminates phase cancellation and improves transient response.
Speaker Level Inputs
Does your receiver have only speaker level outputs? No problem! Hafler’s Speaker Level Input circuitry
converts the speaker line outputs (high level) from your receiver into pre-amp line inputs (low level) for
your VRM amplifier. This allows compatibility with a variety of receivers as well as the ability to retrofit
your new Hafler subwoofer into existing systems without the need for external adapters.
Santoprene Rubber Surround
Santoprene is a very durable and temperature tolerant material which provides a consistent support
necessary for the linear motion of the speaker cone. In addition, the damping capabilities eliminate
the transmission of sonic disturbances between the cone and the frame of the speaker. This greatly
improves the accuracy of the woofer’s low frequency response.
The Result: Improves woofer’s low frequency response.
Aluminum Voice Coil Former
The transducers voice coil former is black anodized aluminum for highly efficient thermal transfer.
Another method of producing voice coils is with Kapton® formers. Although this material is very resistant to heat, any heat generated by the transducer is “trapped” on the copper voice coil windings.
HAFLER uses aluminum voice coil formers because aluminum acts like a “heat sink” and helps dissipate heat away from the voice coil. This allows winding high temperature copper wire in multiple layers for improved efficiency.
The Result: Improves power handling by efficiently dissipating heat.

Home Theater Installations
Home Theater installations are typically medium sized living rooms or game rooms that
have large flat, uncovered walls. Acoustics in
this type of installation can have a big effect
on the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) and f3 (low
frequency cut-off) of the subwoofer because
the walls are very reflective. The only elements in these installations that acoustically
“absorb” sounds are furniture and carpet.
Dramatic “Boundary Loading” can be
achieved by locating the subwoofer under a
table, next to a wall or in a corner (FIG. 4),
thus increasing SPL and lowering the f3 of the
subwoofer system. Locating the subwoofer in
the middle of the room or in a large open area
where there are few reflective surfaces will
cause a decrease in SPL and an increase in f3.
Experiment with different locations in the
room to determine which type of bass response works best in your home theater.
– 5 –
Location
The size of the room used for your Home Theater can have a significant effect on the bass response of
your system. Since many movies exaggerate explosions, earthquakes, and other low frequency effects,
a high performance subwoofer system is required. Your Hafler subwoofer is specially designed for
these high levels of excursion and linearity. In order to get the most out of your subwoofer, Hafler has
documented the differences between typical Studio and Home Theater installations.
Typical Studio Installations
In typical studio installations, damping material is usually used on the walls and ceilings make the
room “acoustically dead." In this type of anechoic environment, the subwoofer will tend to experience
minimal “Boundary Loading” effects. Firing the subwoofer downward (FIG. 1) or directly facing forward (FIG. 2) and keeping the cabinet at least 5” (12.7 cm) away from any wall will provide best
results.

*This graph was generated by setting the variable crossover to 40Hz
50Hz, 60Hz, 70Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz & 140Hz.
Auto Turn-on / Sleep Mode
The VRM subwoofers automatically turn on when they sense an input signal. When the signal being
fed to the VRM is turned off, the subwoofer’s amplifier will turn off and go into “sleep mode.” This
feature eliminates the inconvenience of operating a mechanical power switch.
Input Sensitivity
The Input Sensitivity is used to match the VRM series with signal levels from a variety of signal
sources. The Input Sensitivity uses a potentiometer to match input levels over a 30dB range and is
variable from 0dB to -30dB. The numbers listed on the back panel indicate attenuation from maximum gain, calibrated in dB.
Low-Pass Crossover
The Low-Pass Crossover is used to set the electrical cutoff point of the subwoofer enclosure. The
Crossover uses a variable potentiometer to set the cutoff point anywhere between 40Hz and 140Hz.
When the control is set to its full CLOCKWISE position the cutoff frequency is set to 140Hz Low-Pass.
When the control is set to its full COUNTER CLOCKWISE position the cutoff frequency is set to 40Hz
Low-Pass.
It is important to match the Low-Pass crossover point
of the subwoofer with the High-Pass crossover point
of the high frequency reference monitors.
Mismatching the crossover points can cause dips or
peaks in the acoustical response. Overlapping the
crossover points (i.e., subwoofer at 60Hz Low-Pass &
high frequency monitors at 50Hz High-Pass) can
cause a peak between 50Hz and 60Hz.
Underlapping the crossover points (i.e., subwoofer at
40Hz Low-Pass & high frequency monitors at 70Hz
High-Pass) will cause a dip between 40Hz and 70Hz.
We recommend using a crossover setting whenever
possible to minimize “localization” of the subwoofer,
usually between 50Hz and 60Hz. These low frequencies make it nearly impossible to detect where the
subwoofer is in the listening room.

Phase Control
The Phase Control switches allow the VRM subwoofer to be acoustically aligned with other speakers in
your system. 0˚, -90˚, -180˚, or -270˚ degrees of phase shift at 80Hz can be selected using DIP switches 2, 3, and 4. For 0˚ degrees of phase shift, leave all three switches in the OFF (up) position. –270˚
degrees of phase shift occurs when switch 2 is selected in the ON (down) position. –180˚ degrees can
be achieved by selecting both switches 2 and 3 in the ON (down) position. Finally, selecting all
switches 2, 3, and 4 in the ON (down) position produces –90˚ degrees of phase shift.
Set-up Procedure
1) Place all your speakers and any acoustically significant components in their working location in the
listening environment.
2) Insert a sine wave signal into the audio path.
Be careful to turn down the level before turning on
the amplifiers.
3) Choose a frequency that corresponds to the crossover frequency between the VRM subwoofer and
the reference monitors.
4) From the listening position, alternate between the VRM subwoofer and the full range speakers and
adjust the levels until they have the same acoustic output. Use an SPL meter, a microphone on a VU
meter, or your ears to accomplish this.
5) With all speakers on, try the 0˚, -270˚, -180˚, and –90˚ degree phase settings. The setting with the
highest SPL reading from your listening position will produce the most effective acoustic alignment.
6) Set the VRM10s/VRM12s/VRM15s gain control according to your preference. This will not affect the
acoustic alignment of your system.
Here is a list of some items that
can affect acoustic alignment: Relocating speakers, changing the VRM
subwoofer Low Pass frequency, changing the acoustic environment (i.e., traps, diffusers, etc.), changing
the listening position.
Although this procedure produces the maximum achievable acoustic gain for your system, listening
tests may still lead you to prefer another setup.
Example of how phase misalignment between high frequency speakers and a subwoofer can cause
cancellation
Operation

AC Line
The VRM10s/VRM12s/VRM15s operate from a 115 VAC/60Hz power line.
The VRM10sCE/VRM12sCE/VRM15sCE operate from a 230 VAC 50/60Hz power line. Connection is
made by a 16 gauge, IEC Type 320, grounded line cord. For safety considerations only a properly
grounded (earthed) receptacle should be used. If a grounded circuit is not available, do not break off
the ground pin; use the proper adapter plug for a two wire receptacle with the grounding plug suitably
connected to earth ground.
Important: The power line fuse is mounted on the rear panel. If this fuse blows, replace it only with
the same type and rating as indicated in the parts list.
LED Indicator
Amplifier operation is monitored internally and has a
status LED. This indicator can be used for system
troubleshooting. The LED will illuminate GREEN if
signal is present at the subwoofer’s input. The LED will
turn off and the amplifier will go into sleep mode if
signal is not present.
Break-in and Warm-up
We recommend initially breaking in the subwoofer for approximately 8 hours with musical information
to establish the subwoofer’s natural bass response.
Cleaning & Maintenance
There is no requirement for regular maintenance on the electronic components of the subwoofer. If the
cabinet or woofer becomes soiled, it can be cleaned using a damp, soft cloth. If the subwoofer is located in a particularly dusty environment, cleaning the inside with compressed air or vacuuming every 18
to 24 months is sufficient.
