SBX10

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the M-Audio SBX10 active subwoofer. SBX10 has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the M-Audio BX, CX, and DSM lines of active studio monitors, extending the low-frequency response of the total monitoring system down to 20Hz. Moreover, the versatile design of SBX10 allows it to work well with any combination of active studio monitors in a 2-channel stereo or multichannel surround environment.

For professional engineers at commercial studios and home studio owners alike, SBX10 helps set a new standard in studio monitoring.

What’s in the Box?

Your M-Audio SBX10 box contains:

One SBX10 active powered subwoofer with removable driver protection grill

One detachable AC power cord

One non-latching footswitch for Subwoofer Bypass function

Four removable cone-shaped feet

This manual

SBX10 Features

1. Subwoofer Driver

Redesigned and upgraded for SBX10, the
transducer driver utilizes a 10-inch composite
diaphragm and well damped rubber surround,
all driven by a high-temperature voice coil. It	2
is designed to deliver a tight and punchy
low-frequency response (in contrast to the
"boomy" or hyped response characteristic of
underdamped subwoofers). The driver's high
Bl factor (electromagnet force factor) creates a
powerful motor that allows the cone to follow	1
the input signal very accurately, resulting in
excellent low-frequency extension and
transient response.

2. LED Indicator

The LED Indicator lights up blue when the subwoofer is powered on. When the Subwoofer Bypass feature is engaged, the

LED Indicator will flash red to indicate that no sound is coming out of the subwoofer and that the full-bandwidth signal is being routed to the direct-field monitors.

3. Variable Crossover

You can use SBX10 in a variety of monitoring contexts, from 2-channel to multichannel (e.g., 5.1, 7.1) systems, and as an accompaniment to practically any direct-field monitors. To this end, we have provided a versatile yet efficient way to tailor the response of the subwoofer to work well in any typical monitoring system. For use in a 2-channel system, there is an in-line low-pass filter control that allows you to adjust the crossover frequency. You can set it anywhere from 50Hz to 200Hz. It splits the signal by routing everything below that frequency to the subwoofer and everything above it to your main monitors. And by using a 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley topology, the circuit enables you to achieve the flattest net response through the crossover point. For multichannel systems, the SBX10 subwoofer can reproduce just the output of the LFE (low-frequency effects) channel, or it can reproduce the bass from some or all of the main channels using conventional multichannel bass management schemes. In this multichannel context, you can simply "open up" the SBX10 subwoofer fully by setting it to 200Hz (for use with external bass managers), or you can set it to 120Hz (to comply with the Dolby Digital standard for the LFE band limit).
