Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an RBH PC-10 Powered Subwoofer!
Your subwoofer is the result of many years of research and development
dedicated to producing powerful, accurate bass in home audio and video
systems. This manual contains operating procedures and specications.
We recommend you thoroughly read through the material contained in this
manual before connecting your subwoofer. This will ensure you have an
understanding of how to setup and operate your subwoofer for optimum
performance.
PC-10 Subwoofer
Break In Period
Allow 10-15 hours of listening time to adequately break-in the PC-10
Subwoofer. During the break-in period, the driver suspension will loosen. The
result of break-in will be an increase in low frequency response, improved
denition, and increased clarity and detail.
Care and Cleaning
To maintain speaker appearance, we recommend an occasional application
of furniture grade polish to the wood surface of the cabinet. To clean dust from
the grille cloth, use a vacuum with a brush attachment.
Features
A powered subwoofer is a must-have component for any home theater or
audio system. The performance of your subwoofer can greatly affect the
overall performance of your system. Without the powered subwoofer, the
deep bass on your music CDs and special effects on DVDs may not be heard
and/or felt. Think of a subwoofer as a vital component that adds excitement to
your theater or music experience. The powered subwoofer has its own source
of amplication (as opposed to passive, non-amplied subwoofers which
require an additional power amplier). Subwoofers can add considerable low-
frequency, deep bass performance to any home theater or audio system.
At the heart of the RBH PC-10 powered subwoofer is a compressed cellulose
composite cone driver. The driver material produces enhanced bass denition
and accuracy. A powerful magnet, enhanced suspension and heavy duty
voice coil give the driver elevated performance allowing high output capability
and accurate dynamic reproduction.
The PC-10 powered subwoofer incorporates a discrete class A/B analog
power supply amplier ensuring low distortion, high current output and proven
reliability. Variable crossover, adjustable phase control and auto on/off are also
used for convenience and easy integration with other speakers. Connectivity is
made easy by allowing the subwoofer to be connected by either interconnect
(processor/line level) or speaker wire (high level).
Cabinets are constructed from medium density berboard because of its inert
properties. The thickness of the front bafes also prevents excess acoustic
radiation. Large oversized gold binding posts ensure a good electrical contact.
Sophisticated computer modeling and measurement techniques are used
extensively in the RBH subwoofer design process.
Setup Suggestions
Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity and
extension of the bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies
are reinforced by close room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will
make the subwoofer sound louder and boost the very lowest frequencies.
