Low-level Listening
Testingthe system
The subwoofer crossoverpoint should be set havingregard to the size andlow frequency extension of themain speakers. The role of
the subwoofer is to extend the bass response of the system, not to increase the overall bass level. If the loudspeakers are large the
crossover shouldbe set low,a value around55 Hz is agood place tostart. With smaller speakersthis can be increased,up to 85Hzfor
the smallbookshelf units.As always thefinal valueis determined bylistening.
Our ears are far more sensitive to midrange frequencies (2-5 kHz) than bass frequencies. Very low bass and especially percussive
bass is‘felt’ rather than heard.At low sound levelsbass frequencies appear toattenuate faster than midrangeand treble. As the level
increases this bass roll-off decreases. Occasionally we may wish to listen to a normally loud piece of music at a low level but with
retention ofthe bassinformation.
The simplestway to testthe system isto play,at a moderatelevel, music withdeep consistent bass.Switching the subwooferon and off
should cause change of the depth of bass, and the ambience will also alter. If there is a significant change in bass volume, or a
noticeable step in the bass response, or an increase in coloration when the subwoofer is playing, the setup needs to be refined. By
selecting differentcrossover andvolume settings, youwill beable readily toidentify themost favourable combination.
6.1 and7.1 Multichannel Reproduction
If your processor/amplifier combination features 6.1 or 7.1 operation, you can easily extend the system by purchasing an additional
pair of loudspeakers for the rear channels.
If your processor has 6.1 capability only, using a pair of spaced loudspeakers for the back channels and connecting them in
parallel to the back channel of your processor will offer a significant audible improvement. If you wish to do this, please consult the
specifications of your A/V amplifier to determine that this connection is feasible. The specifications for the are at the rear of
this manual. If you are in any doubt, use a single loudspeaker or consult your dealer

Set the subwoofer power switch to OFF.
Turn the system VolumeControl to minimum.
Re-check all system connections.
Connect the supplied subwoofer power lead to the IEC power socket on the subwoofer and connect the mains plug into the
wall socket.
Set the subwoofer volume control midway (12o'clock)
Switch on the mains power.
Switch on the subwoofer power switch. Check that the power indicator on the front of the cabinet glows. Now switch on the
system. Play a programme with extended bass and set the system volume to a reasonable level. Adjust the subwoofer volume
control to produce the desired level of bass.
If the bass is indistinct or lacks depth, the Phase switch may need adjustment. Set the switch to 0º and listen
carefully to some music with extended bass. If there is insufficient bass output from the sub-woofer set the Phase switch to 180º.
Select the position which produces the most natural, extended bass.
This adjusts the blend between the subwoofer and the main speakers. and enables the system to be set up
for optimum bass performance. The higher settings are for use with bookshelf loudspeakers, the lower settings for large
floorstanding models. If you choose too low a setting with small speakers, there will be a ‘hole’ in the bass response; too high a
setting with large speakers will result in the upper bass becoming bloated.
In normal mode the subwoofer is permanently on. This may result in low level hum or noise if the rest of the
system is switched off and the subwoofer is left switched on. Setting the AUTO switch to ON automatically turns the subwoofer on
when a signal is detected at any of the inputs and turns it off (Standby Mode) after a period of inactivity. We recommend the AUTO
switch be set to ON for normal operation.
In AUTO mode the indicator on the front of the subwoofer will glow RED when the unit is in Standby and GREEN when operational.
If your subwoofer is disconnected from the mains or the Power switch is “Off”, the indicator will be extinguished.
When the system is not in use for extended periods, we suggest you switch off the subwoofer to protect it from switching noises.
As the ear is unable to detect the direction from which deep bass originates, this allows freedom in positioning the subwoofer.
Varying the distance from the wall alters the amount of bass. Some prefer to place the subwoofer against a room corner. This
arrangement gives more bass at the possible expense of clarity.
Many digital AV processors require you to specify the size of speakers in the various channels. These are
usually ‘Large’ or ‘Small’. We recommend that you set the centre and surround speakers to 'Small'. This will direct all the bass in the
system to the subwoofer and provide clean, deep and louder bass. Set the ‘Subwoofer’ option on the processor to 'On’ or 'Yes'.
Set the and to ‘small’. If you are using a digital AV processor the subwoofer crossover setting should be 85Hz.
Set the and to ‘large’. The may be optionally set to ‘small’. In this case the subwoofer crossover setting should be
55Hz. If you find the bass excessive, set the loudspeaker to ‘large’.
Once the loudspeaker settings have been finalised, put the AV amplifier into its “Test” mode (see your processor instructions),
Adjust the levels until all channels are equally loud.
You may need to adjust the subwoofer output level. Avoid setting too high a level or you will swamp the sound with bass which be
tiring to listen to and may limit the subwoofer’s ability to respond to large bass transients. Set a sensible level going into the
subwoofer. The subwoofer volume control should be between 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock .
If all the speakers are set to ‘Small’, the LFE channel will be combined with the bass from other channels and all this feeds into
the subwoofer. When you set the LFE level from your AVprocessor, use care with this setting as the LFE channel may contain
powerful low frequencies which, although normal in a cinema, may overload a domestic subwoofer.
If, during a programme, you hear popping or thumping noises coming from the subwoofer, immediately turn the AVProcessor's
volume level down and then back off the LFE level. If this does not cure the problem, back off the volume level at the subwoofer.
Please read the relevant sections of your AV amplifier manual and familiarise yourself with the various issues. If you are unsure,
consult your dealer for help.

Positioning Your Loudspeakers
Mission and loudspeakers should be placed on the floor
(ideally on spikes). Mission should be mounted on rigid
stands, ideally spike coupled to the floor.
Height is important: a stand should place the top of a speaker at ear
level to a seated listener. Shelf or bracket mounting is second best. The
distance from the wall can profoundly affect loudspeakers' sonic
performance. If your speakers are too close to the wall the bass will
boom and sound coloured. Moving them into the room may increase
clarity but tends to reduce bass output. When positioned correctly, the
high frequency response is smooth with well-defined, powerful bass.
Start with the speakers about 300mm from the wall and 1.8 metres
apart. The distance from each loudspeaker to the side wall should be
at least 500mm. Vary the distance between the two loudspeakers and
the distance from the wall until you get a perfect stereo stage.
If your loudspeakers are wired correctly, the sound should be full with clean treble and a deep, rich bass.

Placement
There should be a mains outlet within easy reach.
Although the unit may be placed almost anywhere in the room, even behind the sofa or the TV set, we recommend that it be
placed in front of the listener and as central to the listening position as possible. The subwoofer should not be operated within
450mm of a television set as the drive unit magnet may distort the picture.
We suggest you position the subwoofer about 20cm (8 inches) from the wall. A position close to the wall will enhance the bass;
placing it across a room corner will increase the bass further, possibly at the expense of clarity.Experiment with a variety of
locations and sources before making a final decision.
The bass port is mounted under the subwoofer firing downward and moves a lot of air at high volume, so make sure the floor is
sound. The subwoofer is front-firing so do not place it behind surfaces or objects that may rattle.
Your system will perform best if there is a clear line of sight between the subwoofer and the listening position.
NOTE: When running signal cables to the subwoofer, keep them clear of obstructions. Do not run a long signal cable close to mains
cables or cables carrying heavy digital traffic.

A/V Processor Connections
Stereo Line Output Connections
Pre Out - Main In Connections
Speaker Level Connections
Your subwoofer has been designed for optimum
performance with a Digital processor. If your AVprocessor
has a line level or LFE subwoofer output you should use this
connection. You will need to purchase a single screened
RCA phono lead from your dealer. Connect this lead to the
Left line input of the Subwoofer as shown below
Alternatively, you may use a split mono lead from the
processor to both inputs of the subwoofer. In this case the
input level at the subwoofer will be slightly higher.
If your amplifier has a spare preamplifier output or a stereo
sub-woofer output, connect the sub-woofer as shown. You
will need a stereo screened RCA phono cable.
If you use a stereo pre and power amplifier, or a stereo
amplifier where the pre and main amplifier can be
separated, connect the sub-woofer as shown. You will
need two screened RCA ‘Y’ adaptors and two single RCA
phono cables.
Remove the Pre-Main links on your amplifier. Connect the
RCA ‘Y’ adaptors and cables as shown. Connect one leg of
the ‘Y’ adaptor to the Left Channel Pre Out socket on the
amplifier and the other leg to the Left Channel Main In
socket. Connect the remaining plug on this combination to
the Left Channel Line Level Input on the sub-woofer. Repeat
this for the Right Channel.
The high level Speaker connections should be used only if
your amplifier does not have a line level subwoofer output.
In this connection the subwoofer is fed together with the
Front loudspeakers. For this you will need two extra twin
core cables.
Measure out two loudspeaker cables of the appropriate
length. Prepare the cables as described on Page 4
Connect the Left Speaker Terminals on the subwoofer to the
Front Left speaker terminals on the amplifier. Connect the
Red (+) speaker terminal on the amplifier to the Red (+)
terminal on the subwoofer. Connect the Black (-) speaker
terminal on the amplifier to the Black (-) terminal on the
subwoofer. Now connect the Right Speaker terminals on the
subwoofer to the Front Right speaker terminals of the
amplifier.
