I. Introduction
1. Welcome to Episode®
Episode® is one of the most highly regarded brands of speakers available today. We appreciate your business and we
stand committed to providing our customers with the highest degree of quality and service in the industry.
Episode® subwoofers are a superb choice for bass reinforcement of most audio systems. They have been designed
with advanced technology components that accurately reproduce low frequencies in all types of music and movies. For
optimum system performance, we recommend pairing them with our acclaimed Episode® loudspeakers.
2. Features
World Class Digital Amplier Technology
These powered subwoofers incorporate the latest digital amplier technology to maximize performance while generating
little heat. In standby mode, the subwoofer consumes less than 0.5 watts, making it one of the “greenest” solutions
available.
High-Gloss Cabinet
Attractive furniture-quality cabinet provides the ultimate in rigidity and sound clarity. Gloss black or white can blend into
any room.
Tuned System Performance
Offers rear-mounted volume control, low-pass crossover adjustment, and variable (0 or 180 degrees) phase control to
ensure optimal system integration, giving a seamless blend for an unbelievable music and movie experience.
Signal-Sensing For Automatic Power Control
There are two power mode options with an Episode® powered subwoofer: Always On and Auto Sense. When Auto
Sense is selected, the subwoofer will automatically switch to a power-saving standby mode until an input signal is
detected. Power will turn on whenever a minimal amount of signal is detected on the input jacks, and off again when no
signal is present for approximately 15 minutes.
Gold-Plated Inputs
Episode® only uses the highest quality inputs available to maximize performance. Stereo inputs are included for easy
connections. For home theater use, the left RCA unbalanced input also serves as an LFE (Low Frequency Effects) input
for a direct connection from the receiver or processor. For added versatility, there are also gold-plated, ve-way binding-
post speaker-level inputs.
Flush-Mounted Grille
Gives a smaller prole look which allows the subwoofer to be hidden in the room with ease.

II. Installation and Setup
3. Overview
Proper installation of the Episode® EVO Sub powered subwoofer requires these basic steps:
1. Place the subwoofer in the room. (Page 4)
2. Make connections to the system. (Pages 5 & 6)
3. Fine tune the subwoofer for the best sound quality and operation. (Page 7)
Review the options for each step and use the best method for the application. After installation is complete, test the
system thoroughly to ensure reliability and sustained sound quality. If the subwoofer will not function or perform as
expected, make sure that installation was completed correctly and check the Troubleshooting Steps before contacting
Episode® for assistance.
4. Placing the Subwoofer
Subwoofer placement can have an effect on the performance that you receive. All rooms are different, but the strongest
output will likely occur if the subwoofer is placed in a corner of the room on the same wall as the front channel speakers.
This is known as the boundary effect and will emphasize certain bass frequencies while canceling others. Some
listeners will nd this to be the best sounding result, while others may nd it “boomy” or muddy. Experiment with the
placement options available to you and use the tuning instructions that follow in the “Installation” section of this manual.
