IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. THE APPARATUS SHALL NOT

BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND THAT OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, SHALL NOT BE

PLACED ON APPARATUS.

• WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OF SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET

UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

• WARNING: THE MAINS PLUG IS USED AS DISCONNECT DEVICE. THE DISCONNECT DEVICE SHALL REMAIN READILY AVAILABLE.

the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does

not operate normally, or has been dropped.

13. The apparatus should be connected to a mains socket outlet with a

protective earthing connection.

14. There are two different types of mains fuse for different input voltage

rating. Please check the marking on the rear enclosure for rating and type

of mains fuse provided with the apparatus. Please ask local service

personnel for help to replace the fuse before connecting the apparatus

to a mains socket outlet with another voltage rating.

Autosensing

Sets the power-on/off option of the PS10/12. Set it to on for

manual control using switch . Set switch to Auto-On for automatic

power-on when signal is present; after 10 minutes with no signal, unit will

enter standby mode. For Auto-On the power switch is left in “ON” position.

5.

Phase Control

Normally set to Nor. In rare instances, due to your unique sound system or the

size of your room, the output may be out of phase. If the sound is hollow

or the volume knob has little effect, set to Rev to compensate for these factors.

6.

Line Level Input

Connect to the line level, subwoofer, or LFE output of your receiver, pre-amp,

or power amp. Do not use if Speaker Level Inputs are connected. For

single mono input: plug into either R or L terminal, or use a y-adaptor.

7.

Speaker Level Input

Use when line level outputs are unavailable from your receiver, pre-amp or

power amp. Your existing stereo speakers can share these terminals, allowing

you to add bass to any stereo or home theater system. Always maintain

speaker polarity by connecting positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on

this unit with corresponding terminals on your existing speakers and source.

Do not use if Line Level Inputs are connected.

8.

Main Power Inlet & Fuse Holder

Accepts IEC type line cord. A fuse located in the integrated holder provides

safety from fault conditions: replace fuse with one of same type and rating only.

9.

Main Voltage Selector

Voltage selection switch is preset to 115V (USA). For use in areas which

require 230V contact your dealer. Fuse must be of type and rating marked

on amplifier for use at local mains voltage.

10.

Power Switch

Turns unit on and off in Normal power mode. Leave set to “ON” when using

Auto-On power mode.

3.

Sets crossover frequency between 40Hz and 180Hz. For stereo music or home

theater, set the frequency to a level that sounds pleasing to your ear and the overall

reproduction of your audio. If using LFE signal, set crossover to 180Hz.

PLACEMENT

This unit features removable feet, a front firing woofer and ports. The bass output
of this unit is omnidirectional so this unit may be placed anywhere in the listening
environment. Walls or corners will help reflect the bass for fuller sound. During use,
unit will vibrate: care should be taken not to place any liquids or heavy items such as
drinks or houseplants on top as they may fall and damage your subwoofer.
