Sonance The Sub Installation Instructions Manual

Page 1
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on choosing The Sub by Sonance®,the third- generation, freestanding subwoofer from the leader in architectural audio products. All Sonance speakers deliver outstanding fidelity and imaging for all audio source material ­they let you hear movies the way the directors intended them to be heard on the big screen. In addition, THX certified subwoofers provide the highest level of bass performance when playing any music source. The extended low frequency response of The Sub completes any premium sound system.
By relieving the main amplifier and speakers of the need to reproduce low frequencies, there will be an instant improvement in their performance as well. The result will be dramatically enhanced frequency response and dynamic range from your sound system. Compact and sonically superior, The Sub by Sonance meets the highest standard for accurate reproduction of cinema soundtracks and is compatible with all Dolby Digital®, THX® , and Dolby Pro-Logic ® systems.
The Sub is uniquely designed for maximum placement flexibility and can be positioned wherever optimum sound or décor considerations dictate, even inside a cabinet (with open front). All controls are located on the front, as are the four tuned ports with flared openings. No down- or rear-firing driver limits your placement options. Electromagnetic shield­ing prevents interference with video reproduction.
The Sub provides the powerful bass essential to complete a truly visceral movie experience. Employed singly or in pairs, these sub systems are capable of shaking the foundation of the most massive fortress of solitude.
The Sub’s 12" driver features a high-density cone with rubber surround,rigid steel frame, long-excursion 3" diameter voice coil, and massive 60-oz magnet. The 60-lb. cabinet is free of degrading resonances thanks to its cross-braced construction of 3/4" and 1-1/2" (MDF) medium-density fiberboard and isolation of the amplifier in an integrated back box. Its high-efficiency 150-watt (RMS) amplifier attains undistorted output levels exceeding 105 db.
The Subcontains both an active crossover with a fixed 12 dB per octave slope at 250 Hz for THX® processors and a variable 12 dB per octave 45-150Hz crossover for user preference. Both provide a clean transition between The Sub and the main speakers. The Sub can be easily integrated with anything from full-range speakers to miniature satellites thanks to phase inversion and crossover bypass switches, wide-range crossover frequency (45-250 Hz) and level controls, as well as line level and speaker level inputs and outputs.

THX Select®, A New Reference Standard for Smaller Rooms
THX Select brings the clear advantage of THX performance to a new class of home theatre components, those designed for use in typical living room/family room environments.Like the original Home THX Program (now distinguished as THX Ultra), THX Select establishes specific performance criteria for creating the ultimate cinema experience in a home setting. However,where the original Home THX specifications must take into account viewing spaces of 3000 cu.ft. or more, THX Select criteria are specifically calibrated to define reference level performance in room volumes of about 2000 cu. ft.Compared to most other components in the same price range, THX Select components not only offer exclusive features (like THX Mode processing),but also provide higher levels of overall audio performance.Though THX Select loudspeakers are available in a variety of sizes and designs,all have been painstakingly tested and evaluated by THX engineers to certify that each will meet stringent performance standards when used in a typical living room setting. Whether you listen to movie soundtracks or new 5.1 channel surround music recordings, THX Select gives you full confidence that each certified component will perform as “the best in its class.”
• THX Select front speakers (Left, Center and Right) have a virtually identical sonic signature.This ensures precise positioning of sonic images and consistent panning dynamics.Also, horizontal dispersion is wide and even to cover all listening positions with consistent, full sound.
• THX Select loudspeakers exhibit a simplified and refined directivity pattern, one ideally suited to smaller room volumes and shortened dis­tances between listeners.
• THX Select surround loudspeakers employ a variety of designs, including dipole,bipole or monopole, to allow compact cabinets and placement flexibility.All designs maintain flat power response at the listening position while exhibiting ideal tonal balance and listening clarity.
• THX Select loudspeaker systems produce dynamic peak levels of 105db in a 2000 cu. ft.room. This standard allows for accurate reproduction of transient peaks in digital soundtracks.

GETTING THE MOST FROM THE SUB
When properly installed, The Sub will provide many years of entertainment pleasure.To realize the full potential of your new speaker,please read all instructions before starting the installation process.
FIGURE 1. Room placement for The Sub.
Correct placement of The Sub assures that you will enjoy the full bass extension and impact of which your system is capable. The key factor in maximizing the performance of your subwoofer is its proximity to room boundaries and relationship with main speakers. Room shape and furnishings largely dictate the optimum location of The Sub, since the listening room contributes materially to the performance of a low frequency speaker system. For this reason, experimentation may be necessary to optimize placement of The Sub. Some general guidelines include:
1. Although The Sub reproduces nondirectional low frequencies,it should be installed on or near the same plane as the LCR (left-center-right) speakers in order to form a coherent, integrated soundstage.
Page 3
3
2. For placement, start at 1/4 or 1/2 the distance in from the side wall in the same plane as the front speakers. Then fine tune the placement until the bass response is smooth at all listening positions. The Sub does not need room support for impressive bass output.
3. When two subwoofers are used, the best sound usually results from placing them in the room as recommended in the illsutration above(Figure 1). Because most rooms have resonant modes (frequencies at which the room shape emphasizes sound),such placement smooths bass response.
NOTE: If you experience buzzing or rattling during strong bass passages, it may be necessary to relocate or remove items in the listening room which become excited by the high energy levels reproduced by The Sub.
INSTALLATION
These sizes of quality speaker wire are recommended for The Sub if the speaker level inputs are employed:
• 14 gauge up to 30'
• 12 gauge from 30' to 75'
• 10 gauge longer than 75'
When using The Sub speaker level outputs to drive main speakers, consider the sum of both wire lengths (amplifier to The Suband The Subto speakers) when determining wire size. When The Sub active crossover is used to divide the preamplifier signal between the subwoofer and main speakers, interconnect cables of sufficient length are needed to reach from the preamp/processor to The Sub , and from The Subto the amplifier driving the main speakers.Most preamplifiers are capable of driving signals— without loss of fidelity— through quality interconnect cables up to 20' long.
Maximize the fidelity of your system with line level connec­tions using premium cables such as Sonance Bronze or Silver MediaLinQ
®
oxygen-free high-grade interconnects. MediaLinQ interconnects are available from your Sonance dealer in lengths up to 20'. To r e a l i z e the full potential of The Sub with speaker level connections, use quality speaker wire such as oxygen­free Sonance Gold, Silver, or
Bronze MediaLinQ. An SPL (sound pressure level) meter is available from most Radio Shack
®
stores. This is required to calibrate an installation with a processor that includes an internal 75db pink noise test signal generator.
The Suboffers many options for connection to other components in your system. The methods discussed are listed in descending order of preference, with the most ideal method first. Note that more than one method may be valid for your equipment configuration, and placement of your The Sub and main speakers may dictate which you choose.
SUBWOOFER SETTINGS
Vo l u m e , p h a se, crossover bypass, and crossover frequency controls on the front of The Sub maximize placement flexibility(Figure 2).
Some experimentation may be necessary to achieve the best possible integration of The Subwith the other speakers in the system. If your source components include a processor with provision for a subwoofer, refer to that component’s manual for any special instructions for calibrating subwoofer performance. Start the calibration process with the following settings on The Sub:

BYPASS MODE
THX® and Dolby Digital processors provide a special facility to calibrate subwoofers. When installing The Subwith such a controller, follow the controller’s instructions for calibrating sub­woofer output.When used with THX components,the THX CALI­BRATED setting assures proper output level of The Sub.The VARI­ABLE setting may be used to defeat this feature if you prefer a dif­ferent bass level crossover frequency for music listening.
PHASE
When used in conjunction with some components, the bass response of The Subwill be greater with the phase switch in the down (180˚) position.
Listen to music with significant bass content with the switch in each position to determine the correct setting for your system. Sitting in the normal listening position, listen while a friend changes the phase switch position.The audibly louder setting is correct. Alternately, use an SPL meter to determine which setting produces greater output in the 75-125 Hz range.
VOLUME
After the correct phase has been determined, you may arrive at the desired level setting for non-THX listening by measuring test tones starting above 1000 Hz down to 50 Hz. To achieve smooth transition between the subwoofers and other drivers, it may be useful to employ test tones available on compact disk and an SPL meter. Adjust the level control on the subwoofer amplifier until all tones measure the same SPL. Some THX® controllers include the THX Wow disk with test tones with the controller manual. Some controllers can produce a pink noise
signal for speaker calibration.Other test CDs are available from your Sonance dealer.Always take SPL readings from ear level at the listening position.
FREQUENCY
This adjustment is for use in non-THX applications and will only be functional when the mode switch is in the variable position. Use this control to create a smooth transition of bass frequencies from the fullrange speakers to the subwoofer. Generally, when used with speakers with larger woofers the fre­quency should be set at a lower setting and when used with speakers with smaller woofers it should be closer to the 150Hz setting. If you have access to test tones you can use an SPL meter to dtermine where the frequency adjustment should be set.
STANDBY
In normal operation, it is most convenient to set the POWER switch to ON. In this mode, the amplifier turns on when it receives an input signal, and turns off after eight to four min­utes of no input. In the OFF position, the amplifier is powered on and offby the master power switch.
System Connections
Strip 1/2" of insulation from each speaker wire. Attach the positive conductor to the red binding post and the negative wire to the black binding post.The following are system set-up examples (A-F). Pick the example which best describes your system.
A. THX, or AC-3 processor: Use the processor’s line level
subwoofer output.Use a single interconnect cable to the LEFT LOW-LEVEL RCA INPUT jack (Figure 3). When installing a pair of The Subs,use a Y connector at the proces­sor to split the subwoofer signal to two interconnects, each dri­ving the LEFT LOW LEVEL INPUT. Set mode and phase switches in the up position.

integrated amplifier with PRE OUT and AMP IN jacks: Connect the preamp outputs to the LOW LEVEL INPUTs on The Sub using interconnect cables (Figure 4). Return the signal to the power amplifier inputs with a second pair of cables.When installing a pair of The Subs,connect the right and left channel outputs to the LEFT LOW LEVEL INPUTs of both subwoofers,and return the signal to the power ampli­fier from the LEFT LOW LEVEL OUT jacks. Set mode switch in variable position. Set frequency control midpoint for starters.
C. Preamplifier and power amplifier, or an integ rated amplifier
with low level outputs but no AMP IN jacks: : Using two Y connectors and interconnect cables, connect both preamp outputs to the LOW LEVEL INPUTs on The Sub. When installing a pair of The Subs, connect the right and left channel outputs to the LEFT LOW LEVEL INPUTs of both subwoofers. Set mode switch in variable position. Set frequency control midpoint for starters.
D. Receiver or integrated amplifier with no line level outputs:
Connect the left and right speaker outputs to The Sub speaker level inputs using speaker wire. Use additional lengths of speaker wire to connect the speaker level outputs to the main speakers.When two Subs are employed in such a system, run the left and right speaker connections to and from the LEFT speaker level inputs. Set mode switch in variable position. Set frequency control midpoint for starters.
E. Receiver or integrated amplifier with no line level outputs:
Connect the left and right speaker outputs to The Sub speaker level inputs and the main speakers in parallel, using speaker wire. Attach two lengths of speaker wire to the amplifier outputs: one to The Sub and one to the main speakers.
F. Receiver or integrated amplifier with no line level outputs
and with two sets of speaker outputs: Connect the left and right speaker “B” outputs to The Sub speaker level inputs, using speaker wire. While the impedance characteristics of The Sub inputs are specifically designed to present an “amplifier friendly” load, consult your amplifier manual before adding The Sub to a system with very low impedance speakers, as amplifier damage may result.
Note:This only applies if A and B speaker outputs are parallel.
NOTES: Polarity of speaker wires is critical. All positive leads (+) must be attached to red connectors throughout the system. Positive leads many be identified by the color of the conductor, a ridge on the insulation, writing on the insulation, or some other means.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet of the voltage indicated on the amplifier. Do not use a switched outlet on another component. The Sub amplifier features Auto-On circuitry.After four minutes of no input signal, the amplifier turns itself off. It automatically powers on when an input signal is detected.
