Introduction

Thank you for choosing the sub8 powered subwoofer. sub8 was designed to augment the bass
performance of your speakers in a stereo setup or in a home theater installation.

Adding a subwoofer to your system extends the bass response produced by your existing
speakers and improves their midrange clarity. In a home theater application, the subwoofer takes
care of reproducing signals from the low frequency channel. In a stereo system, the subwoofer
helps reduce the low-frequency demands on the main speakers.

We recommend you read all instructions carefully before using the sub8 and keep them for future
reference. Kanto cannot be liable for damage or injury caused by incorrect setup or use of this
product.

This powered subwoofer was carefully tested and inspected during production, and before
packaging and shipping. After unpacking, please check for any damage. It is rare that a unit is
damaged during shipping, but if this happens contact your retailer immediately. You can also
call Kanto directly at 1-888-848-2643 or email [e-mail].
