We congratulate and thank you for choosing a PINNACLE® subwoofer. Our subwoofers exemplify the best in modern audio technology, and are designed to produce tremendous amounts of deep bass. Please read this manual completely to ensure the best possible performance from your Home Theater or sound system.

SOLID BRASS ISOLATION CONES: If your subwoofer comes with solid brass isolation cones, please make sure to install them into the bottom of your subwoofer cabinet. They are an important part of the performance of the product and will improve the bass definition. With the cabinet on its side, simply screw the cones into their receptacles on the bottom of the cabinet. Then, with the cabinet upright, adjust the cones individually as needed to level the cabinet. When the cones have been adjusted to the proper height, screw each nut up the threaded shaft flush with the bottom of the cabinet to secure the height setting. If you intend to place your subwoofer on wooden or vinyl floors, we suggest placing a penny under each cone to prevent any indentations.

PLACEMENT:

Recommended Subwoofer Placement:

a) within a few inches of the room corner closest to your left or right front speaker (maximum low

bass output);

b) against the wall between your left and right front speakers (strong low bass output with optimal

blending to front speakers);

c) near any other room corner or wall. Other locations will provide varying degrees of low bass impact and blending with your front speakers. We recommend listening to your system, with the subwoofer in different room positions, to obtain a location with an optimum response. A Special Note to SubSonic

owners: Due to the bipole configuration of your subwoofer be sure to leave at least an inch or two between the rear woofer and your wall. If you must place your subwoofer near baseboard heaters or forced hot air vents try to leave at least 4” of clearance for proper ventilation. Do not place your subwoofer outdoors, or in any wet or excessively damp environment. Note: Because of your subwoofer’s powerful magnet, be sure to place your subwoofer far enough away from your TV (approximately 2-3 feet) to avoid color distortion and any other anomalies in the picture. If you experience picture distortion, simply move the subwoofer away from the TV until the picture becomes distortion free. We also recommend keeping magnetic media such as audio/videotapes

and computer disks at least 2-3 feet away from your subwoofer to prevent damaging them.

CONNECTIONS:

Complete all wire connections in your Home Theater/Sound system before

powering up your subwoofer or your receiver (amplifier). Be sure to observe proper polarity for all speaker wire connections (+ to +, - to -). Use only speaker wire of 12, 14, or 16 gauge (available from your dealer) to obtain the best performance. Lightweight speaker wire (20, 22 gauge, etc.) will result in degraded performance; 18 gauge wire may be used for short runs of about 15 feet or less.

OPTION #1 - Using The Line Input:

To use the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT your receiver must have a dedicated phono (RCA) subwoofer output jack (sometimes called Sub Out, Low Pass or LFE). If your receiver has this output jack you may connect your subwoofer via a standard phono cable (the same kind of audio cable used to connect your CD, tape deck, etc.). This method is generally the easiest to hook-up. Note: Do not connect the subwoofer to the tape loop outputs from your receiver as they will overdrive the subwoofer’s circuitry!
