Your

x

SUB

has been acoustically designed to allow easy and
convenient positioning, and although the actual placement
of the

x

SUB

is not critical, you may find the following tips

useful in order to optimise the performance.

Room acoustics have an impact on loudspeakers and
subwoofers; “standing waves” makes bass response differ
from place to place in a room.

•Placing the

x

SUB

in corners or up against a wall will yield
the most bass, but may provide a boomy sound. Try to
avoid placing the

x

SUB

equidistant from two walls, instead

stagger the distance to each wall.

•Ideal placement is just behind, but not symmetrical with the

main speakers at least 10 CM away from walls.

•For best acoustic integration, place as near to the main

speaker as possible.

•Wherever the

x

SUB

is placed, room acoustics will affect the
sound and taking some time to experiment with positioning,
Volume, Phase and Crossover Frequency settings will result
in a greater listening experience. The goal is to make it
seem as though all the sound is coming from the main
loudspeakers.

1. Volume Control

Adjust the volume of the x-sub relative to that of the main loudspeakers,
taking into consideration the location of the x-sub and surrounding
environment.
See also Placement

2. Crossover Frequency Adjustment

Set the Crossover Frequency to the roll off frequency of your loudspeakers

which can be found in your loudspeaker specications.

For example when used with Blue Aura x30, the Crossover Frequency should
be set between 80 and 100 Hz.
Tip! Ideally the x-sub and the connected loudspeakers should not be
playing the same notes.

3. Auto Standby

The x-sub will default to Standby mode if a signal has not been detected
within 20 minutes.

4. Phase Adjustment Switch

Once your x-sub is positioned, the Phase can be switched between 0 and
180 degrees.
0 is the usually the correct setting, but this may depend on whether there
is something unusual going on inside your main speakers or there is a

signicant distance between the sub and your main speakers.

Choose the phase position that provides the most bass attack and
articulation

5. Line In (from your Loudspeakers)

6. WSR - USB connection only.

x-sub can be upgraded to work wirelessly with other Blue Aura products by
using the WAS1 Transmitter and Receiver option. Signal range is 25 meters.
Using WAS1 also allows the x-sub to be placed further away from the
loudspeakers as there is no hard wired connection.

7. Power Switch

Turn off when setting up and installing.
Switch the x-sub off if it will not be used for long periods.

Important Safety Instructions

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of noninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

This equipment is a Class II or double insulated electrical appliance. It has been designed in such a way that it
does not require a safety connection to electrical earth.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The transmitter of this device has been designed to operate with the attached antennas, and having a maximum
gain of 1.5dBi. Antennas not identical as that or having a gain greater than 1.5dBi are strictly prohibited for use with
this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that permitted for successful communication

FCC Compliance

10 11

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the
antenna of this device and persons during device operation.
To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended.

Les antennes installées doivent être situées de facon à ce que la population ne puisse y être exposée à
une distance de moin de 20 cm. Installer les antennes de facon à ce que le personnel ne puisse
approcher à 20 cm ou moins de la position centrale de l’ antenne.

La FCC des États-Unis stipule que cet appareil doit être en tout temps éloigné d’au moins 20 cm des
personnes pendant son functionnement.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to
other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)
is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut

fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut
choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse
pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
