Sunfire XTATM265230, XTATM265 User Manual
1. AutoRoom EQ: For AutoRoom EQ starts the same way as the current TSEQ subwoofer. We have
removed the option to manually adjust the EQ on this product. The EQ Led will blink till the EQ is
complete
2. EQ On-OFF We have removed the EQ authority switch on this model and changed it to EQ-ON EQ-
OFF switch. So the user will have an option of either having the EQ ON or OFF.
3. 12V trigger: We just have the barrier jack for 12V trigger.
4. Output: On the output there is an option Bypass and 85Hz High pass. This output can be used for
full range speakers or other 2 channel setup. In the Bypass option full range signal will be passed to the
speakers. In case of 85Hz high pass, only 85hz and above will be passed on to the speakers.
5. Slave output: Slave output will be used to add more than one subwoofer to the system. In this case
the 1st subwoofer will control the EQ for the system, volume for the system, phase for the system and
frequency for the system. Slave subwoofers will lose all those controls.

User's Manual
User's Manual
Overview
Your Sunre ATMOS Subwoofer is
designed to give you the best possible
low-frequency sound quality for your
Home Theater experience. It incorporates
a tremendously powerful built-in amplier
and a pair of drivers to produce tight,
oor-rumbling, denture-rattling bass that
you can feel as well as hear.
The subwoofer has an automatic
equalization system which will tailor the
subwoofer output to compensate for any
room effects.
The subwoofer has an adjustable high
cut lter and line-level inputs for easy
incorporation into existing systems, or
as part of a subwoofer/satellite speaker
combination.
Controls for adjusting the volume,
crossover frequency and phase, allow
the subwoofer to be perfectly matched
to any listening environment and audio
components.
The Drivers
To have lots of bass requires moving lots
of air. Your Sunre Subwoofer incorporates two drivers that can move back and
forth approximately ve times more than
a normal subwoofer. This gives it a lot
of air moving capacity which allows for
majestic bass performance.
Two drivers share the acoustic output.
Sometimes one driver appears to be
moving more than the other. They both
move the same amount only when operating at the limit of their excursion and
power output, or when bass requirements
and music requirements demand maximum output from the system. Otherwise,
the power is shared between the two
drivers in a way that depends on the momentary amplitude and the momentary
musical spectrum. It is normal for one or
the other to move more or less than its
mate during operation.
The Amplier
The large movement range of the drivers creates greater air pressure inside
the box than a conventional subwoofer.
Therefore, the drive amplier must be
much more powerful than an ordinary
subwoofer amplier. In fact, it has to be
so powerful, it is almost hard to believe.
The power amplier within your Sunre
Subwoofer is capable of delivering over
1400 watts into a 3.3 ohm resistor (the
driver voice coil resistance). When the
same full output is applied to the driver,
however, the enormous back-electromotive force generated as a consequence of its large motion and giant magnet, causes the current ow to be much
less than if it were a 3.3 ohm resistor. It
is this singular property of the driver that
allows the subwoofer to be approximately
ten times more efcient than a subwoofer
this size would normally be.
A compressor circuit kicks in automatically if the input signal level reaches a
level that would overload the driver. This
maintains a ceiling on the output without
clipping. If the input signal is driven even
further, a ‘soft clipping’ circuit is enabled.
This allows the subwoofer to put more
sound into the room to satiate the power
hungry user, but without distortion or
damage to the subwoofer. Thus, for explosive scenes in movies, this produces
extremely high sound pressure levels
(SPL) in your room without the drivers
banging against the mechanical stops.

1. Crossover Frequency
This control changes the high frequency cutoff point. With the control set
to 100 Hz, the sub woof er will reproduce
fre quen cies up to 100 Hz. If the control
is set fully clockwise, the crossover is
bypassed and the subwoofer will re pro duce a wide frequency range. With
the control fully counter-clock wise the
sub woof er re pro duc es a narrow range,
up to 30 Hz.
Rotate the control until the bass sounds
natural. If the mid-bass sounds natural
but you want more low bass, turn this
control down a little, then turn the
Volume control up by about the same
amount. This increases the low-bass
output while leaving the mid-bass
output the same.
2. Level
This control lets you match the output
level of the subwoofer to the level of
your other speak ers. The subwoofer
output will increase as this control is
rotated clockwise. When you have just
installed your system, turn this down
before turning on your sub woof er. This
will prevent any loud surprises.
3. Phase Control
This control changes the relative phase
of the sub woof er with respect to the
other speakers. Use this control to help
blend the sub woof er with the rest of
the sys tem. This is accomplished by
ad just ing the control in small in cre ments as you listen for the most bass
at your lis ten ing position. As a nal trim,
readjust the Crossover Frequency and
Volume controls after the Phase has
been set.
4. Trigger Input
The trigger input can be used to
automatically turn on the subwoofer
from Standby mode. To do this,
connect +12 VDC to the positive (+) terminal, and ground to the
negative (–) terminal. Home Theater
preampli ers such as the Sun re
Theater Grand series, have matching
12 VDC Trigger outputs. When they are
turned on, the subwoofer will turn on.

User's Manual
5. Line-Level Inputs
User's Manual
Connect these unbalanced inputs with
RCA type patch cords to the line-level
outputs of your receiver or preamp.
If your preamplier or receiver has a
single sub/LFE output, connect it to
either input jack (see page 14).
6. Line-Level Outputs
Line-level output signals are available at these jacks. These outputs are
active whenever a signal is hooked
up to the inputs of the subwoofer. The
outputs are not affected by the volume
level, phase, frequency control, or EQ
of the subwoofer.
To use the outputs, connect the preamp
outputs on your preamp/receiver to
the subwoofer’s line-level inputs using
good quality RCA type patch cords.
Then connect a second set of patch
cords from these subwoofer outputs
to the line-level inputs of your main
amplier.
The adjacent Output Switch (7) allows
the outputs to be either high-pass, or
full range, see below.
7. Output Switch
This switch affects the frequency range
of the line-level outputs.
In the Bypass position, the outputs are
a full-range copy of the input signals.
In the 85 Hz position, the outputs are
a copy of the input signals with the
frequencies below 85 Hz removed. We
recommend using this position if your
speakers are not designed to reproduce low frequencies.
If your main speakers are capable
of operating full range, then use the
Bypass position.
8. Slave Input and Output
These connections simplify the
hookup and operation of two ATMOS
subwoofers.
Connect the slave output from the rst
subwoofer to the slave input of the second. This second subwoofer will then
receive the optimum audio signals from
the rst, and there is no need to adjust
the controls of the second subwoofer,
as the audio is controlled by the controls and EQ setting of the rst.
The second subwoofer will not require
any connections to its line-level inputs,
as it receives the audio through its
slave input.
9. Power Switch
The power switch is used for installing
and uninstalling the subwoofer, and for
power conservation during long vacations. Leave it switched on at all times
for normal operation.
After a period of inactivity (i.e. with no
input signal), the subwoofer will automatically turn itself to Standby mode,
where it is effectively muted. It can turn
back on automatically when an input
signal is applied, or if a 12 VDC trigger
voltage is applied to the Trigger inputs,
or if the Start button is pressed.
10. IEC Linecord socket
The subwoofer comes with a detachable linecord that connects here.
US (120 VAC) MODEL: Connect
the linecord to the subwoofer before connecting the other end to a
120 Volt, 60 Hz AC outlet. The outlet
must have a circuit rating of 8 amps or
more (a typical home circuit is rated at
15 amps).
Never plug the US (120 VAC)
Model subwoofer directly into
220-240 Volts AC as this will
cause catastrophic circuit failure.

11. Line Fuse
The subwoofer is supplied with a con ser va tive slow-blow type fuse to protect
the elec tron ics.
Always unplug the power cord
before inspecting or changing
the fuse. Never use a fuse with a
larger current rating than shown
on the markings next to the fuseholder.
12. EQ LED
This LED provides feedback during the
EQ procedure. It also lights continuously whenever the subwoofer is not in
standby.
13. Start button
Used to calibrate the EQ. See page
12 for details on the EQ calibration
procedure.
14. EQ ON/OFF Switch
This switch is used to turn the EQ on
or off. It allows you to easily judge
the effect of the EQ on the subwoofer
performance.
15. Microphone Input
This is the input connection for the
supplied linear measurement microphone used during the automatic EQ
procedure. See page 12 for details of
the EQ procedure.
16. POWER LED
This red LED indicates when the
subwoofer is connected to AC Power.
When a 12 volt trigger voltage or an
audio signal is applied, this LED goes
out and the blue EQ LED lights up.
