Elite-606

140 Watt Powered Subwoofer

Your Elite-606 Is an integrated Active Subwoofer System with an 8” Heavy Duty

“Monster” driver powered by an on-board 140 Watt RMS amplifier. You may string additional

JENSEN Elite-606’s together if so desired by connecting to the “Line Output” section of your
JENSEN Elite-606 amplifier (see “For Big Bass Lovers” section below).

Elite-606

WD-140 amplifier module features.

GAIN: (Volume knob). This adjusts the output of your JENSEN Elite-606 to balance and harmonize with

output from your Front / Center etc. etc. speakers. DO NOT set this on maximum. Be careful not too
advance this control too far as overload may occur causing damage to your JENSEN Elite-606 speaker (see
below setting recommendations).

FREQ: (frequency knob). This control adjusts how deep (low frequency) you wish your JENSEN Elite-

606 to operate at. In other words, 70 Hz is a lower and deeper frequency than 90Hz, so if you set at 70Hz
you will be amplifying all music information 70Hz and below this frequency and filtering out everything
above which is the ideal intention of a Powered Subwoofer. Take care not to advance this control too far

as overloading may occur (see below recommendations).

ON/AUTO/OFF: Blue LED is ON and RED LED is standby (sleep). We recommend setting to AUTO

which is a set-and-forget mode. Your JENSEN Elite-606 automatically activates when it senses as incoming
signal. After signal has been removed between 15 and 40 minutes, amplifier will revert to Standby mode
and LED will change to Red.

LOW LEVEL OUTPUT: Are provided for adding additional JENSEN Elite-606 using an additional

1RCA to 1 RCA lead. You may add as many JENSEN Elite-606’s as you like (see “For Big Bass Lovers”

below).

LOW LEVEL INPUT: Connect from your Multi Channel Receiver (5.1, 6.1 etc. etc) using RCA Cord

to this/these sockets. These are internally paralleled so connecting to one or both sockets makes no
difference. (See Option A below).

Phase Control Switch is only used if several speaker boxes are in the one room (i.e. Center

Speaker, Surrounds etc.). This Phase switch can be set to ensure the Elite-606 woofer is “in phase” with all
other woofers operating together in the same room so that Bass cancellation does not occur. When your
entire speaker system is completely set-up, flick this switch from “NOR” to “REV” and leave on setting that
provides the most Bass. This will be the best setting and be correctly “in phase”. Leave switch on “NOR” if

no audible increase is detected.

HI-LEVEL IN / HI-LEVEL OUT Only use these Red/Black Speaker Lead terminals if using a

STEREO amplifier. Simply, your JENSEN Elite-606 connects between your Stereo amplifier and Speakers. To
do this run pair Speaker Leads from Stereo amplifier into JENSEN Subwoofer (Hi Level In) then run a
second pair Speaker Leads from JENSEN Subwoofer (Hi Level Out) to Speakers. With this connection, full
frequency will always be delivered to Speakers so you are adding 140 Watts of Bass to your Speaker

System (see Option B below).

Where should I set Level & Frequency Control Knobs ?? Once you have your

Elite-606 positioned and connected, we suggest experimenting with the Gain and Frequency knobs to suit
the Volume and depth of Bass desired. Initially, for Hi-Fi listening, try setting the Level Control at 11
o’clock and the Frequency Control at 70Hz (10 o’clock). This is the most popular setting. This setting will
boost Bass information 70Hz and below – which is deep, deep Bass at a strong (but not overpowering)
level. For Home Theatre listening (movies), increase the Level Control to 1 o‘clock and lower the
Frequency Control to 60 Hz (9 o’clock). This will enormously enhance all Bass information 60Hz and below
to a boosted Bass setting so when dinosaurs, earthquakes and explosions kick-in, they kick in !! Refrain

from turning Level Control beyond 1 o’clock as Bass will then overpower all other music. Also,

overpowering may incur amplifier damage, Cone damage or both.

Connections

Option A. Connecting from a Multi-Channel Receiver:

Connect 1xRCA to 1xRCA lead (not supplied) from SUB-OUT on your Receiver to “LOW LEVEL INPUT on
Elite-606 Subwoofer. Connect to either L or R as both are internally paralleled and make no difference.
These leads are available in 1,3,5,10 and 20 meter lengths. Unlike speaker leads, you do not lose power
by increasing lead lengths.

Sub-Out socket

Option B. Connecting from a Stereo amplifier:

To add a Subwoofer to your existing Stereo amplifier, Connect Left and Right Speaker Leads (not
supplied) from Speaker Terminals on your amplifier to Left and Right Speaker Terminals on your

Elite-606 marked “HI LEVEL IN”. Then connect a second pair Speaker Leads from “HI LEVEL OUT” to

Front Left and Right speakers. In this case, full frequency and power continues through your Elite­606 Sub, to your Speakers.

For Big Bass Lovers: With the purchase of a single 1xRCA to 1xRCA lead extra Elite-606’s can be

“daisy-chained” together and operate as one. Each will need to plug into power. All rooms have acoustic

sweet spots as well as dead-spots. Adding an extra Elite-606 Subs will remove the dead-spot as well as
adding Bass resulting in exponentially enhancing overall Sub-Bass performance. In this case 2 x JENSEN
Elite-606’s will perform like 3. And 3 will perform like 5 etc. Switch them all to “AUTO” and they can all be
left on indefinitely and activate together when an incoming signal is sensed. Front panel LED’s will all turn
Blue and … AWMEGAAAWD !!. Add two, three or as many as you are game.

Warranty. Your JENSEN Elite-606 is covered under Warranty for 5 Years (1 Year on amp module)

and you must Validate your Warranty Online at www.jensenspeakers.com.au For help, contact us at

[e-mail] or you can find closest Service Dept. at www.jensenspeakers.com.au

Troubleshooting: Electrical storms and Power surges can blow the fuse of your Subwoofer.

Symptom for this occurring is “DEAD LED”. If the LED light on front panel does not shine BLUE (on) or RED
(standby) then you may simply need to replace the fuse. This is located, along with a spare fuse, just
below Power Cord input on rear panel. Replace this with a 0.8 Amp Fast Blow fuse. Most hardware and
electrical suppliers will have this standard type of fuse. Humm issues can sometimes be solved over the
phone 1300 - JENSEN or at [e-mail]
