Setup and connection
Setup notes
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose
a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
• The location of the subwoofer can be freely selected
and does not infl uence the other speakers. However,
do not place it in the corner of the room as this may
result in irregular frequency overloads. A location
between the front speakers is often ideal.
• The enclosed rubber feet are affi xed to all four corners
on the base plate of the subwoofer in order to avoid
interference associated with vibrations.
Connection
Audio connection
You will need a mono RCA connector cable for the
audio connection of the subwoofer. With this cable you
connect one of the RCA jacks 1 “In” on the back side of
the subwoofer to the RCA jack “Subwoofer Out” on your
AV receiver. You will fi nd more information on this in the
operating instructions of your receiver.

Adjusting the AV receiver and subwoofer
Most AV receivers feature a menu with speaker settings
(referred to as “Speaker Setup” or similar).

• Set the crossover frequency for subwoofers with
130 mm midrange satellite speakers to 100 Hz, for

These settings ensure optimal utilisation of the subwoofer;
automatic activation will also function properly. You can
make fi nal fi ne adjustments to your AV receiver later.
Setting the subwoofer when the AV receiver cannot be set
If your AV receiver does not provide the above options,
you can make the most important settings directly on the
subwoofer. To do so, you will need a CD or DVD with
adequate, powerful sound.
• Set the switch 8 “Low Pass • Full Range” to the left to
“Low Pass”. Doing so activates the controls 5 “Frequency” and 7 “Phase”.
• Set the separation frequency to approx. 100 Hz (fourth
dot) with the control 5 “Frequency”. This determines
that the subwoofer only emits sounds up to this frequency.
• Set the control 7 “Phase” to “0°”.
• Set the “Volume” control 3 to half power.
Now sample the sound and adjust the “Volume” control 3
until the subwoofer “is at a good volume” and adjust the
control 5 “Frequency” until the bass tones are powerful,
but don’t drone.

Once you have set the best sound, switch the control 7
“Phase” several times by turning it up to the stop point in
both directions. If you notice a considerable improvement
in sound quality, refi ne the settings until optimal. Otherwise, set the control to the “0°” setting.
Repeat these steps with different CDs and DVDs.

power.
Fuse defective. 1.
Turn on the switches 9 and 6 (“On”). Check the
power cord and socket.
2.
The volume has been set too low.
The subwoofer hums. The subwoofer is connected to another
circuit than the rest of the system.
The buzzing is caused by problems with
the power supply.
The buzzing is caused by a multi-outlet
power strip.
Disconnect the power
cord.
Carefully pull the fuse
holder out of the mains
connection.
Increase the volume with the control 3.
Connect the subwoofer and AV receiver to the
same circuit.
Buy a line fi lter and connect both devices to it.
