Get Calibrated

For connection to an AV Receiver, set the PC-2000 PRO volume to -10 in the app (on

the rear panel, all but the last two lights illuminated). Set the low pass filter to LFE

and the phase to 0 degrees, then run auto-set-up on the AV Receiver. Always re-run

set-up if you move the subwoofer to another location.

AUTO EQ - START

For additional guidance on recommended crossover or low pass filter settings specific to your system,

visit our Subwoofer Matching Tool at www.svsound.com/merlin, or just call, email or chat online with
our Sound Experts:

For connection to a Stereo Receiver or Preamplifier

without auto-set-up, adjust the PC-2000 PRO volume
to match the output of your main speakers, and

adjust the low pass filter to blend the bass between

the PC-2000 PRO and your speakers. If needed,
consult with our Sound Experts on the best phase
setting.

The location of your subwoofer in the listening environment can affect its performance. If possible, start with corner placement

on the same wall as the front speakers, or anywhere along the front stage in between or outside of your main speakers.

Corner Placement: offers huge impact and reduces the

potential to encounter bass nulls, or ‘dead spots’. If “boomi­ness” occurs, you can try pulling it away from the wall and
using the DSP tuning controls to smooth performance.

Front Placement: In between or to the side of the front
channel speakers often results in the best blending with the

main speakers and center channel and minimizes localiza­tion effects.

For most set-ups, a single RCA subwoofer interconnect cable running from the AV Receiver’s “SUB 1” output to the PC-2000 PRO’s

“LFE” line level input is all that’s required to connect the subwoofer into your system. If you run separate Preamplifier and Power
Amplifiers, follow the “Line Level Connection – Stereo Receiver or Preamplifier Left/Right Channels” connection guide below.
