Introduction
Your Vulcan sub woofer has been designed to produce true sub bass
frequencies. It will produce exceptionally deep notes which are often
felt as well as heard. You will be able to adjust the settings of your
Vulcan to suit your own personal requirements.
Getting the best out of your Vulcan will take some setting up which
will be explained later in this manual. Essentially the purpose of a sub
woofer is to add dynamic range to your system. Care must be taken
not to overwhelm the accompanying source. Good sound balance is
essential.
Connections
Always switch off your system before any connections are made.
For increased versatility the Vulcan has two separate inputs.
One Professional Switchcraft HPC Series socket and a pair of phono
sockets. This is to facilitate use with both hi-fi and AV surround
systems.
The first is a high level unbalanced, dual channel (stereo) input via
the Professional Switchcraft HPC Series connector. Signals for this
input would normally be sourced from the left and right channel
speaker terminals of the amplifier. This has the advantage of
ensuring that the Vulcan receives exactly the same signal as the
main speakers. This means that the character of the bass is carried
forward into the sub-bass. This will ensure superior system
integration of the sub-bass with the main system. This method of
connection is recommended for a straight forward hi-fi system.
