Triad PowerSub Amplifier:
Features & Adjustments
Input Level
This controls the gain of the subwoofer amplifier when using
the left and right inputs.
Lowpass A / Lowpass B
Each control operates an independent 12dB per octave low
pass filter. The two filters are in parallel and their effects are
combined to achieve 24dB roll-off above the highest
common frequency.
Phase Control
The phase control adds up to 180 degrees of phase lag to the
subwoofers signal. Use it to improve the subwoofer to main
speaker blending, especially where the phase of the main
signal may have been inverted.
Left & Right Inputs (20Hz)
Use these inputs for increased frequency response below
35Hz, and where you wish to have use of the Input Level
control and high pass outputs of the sub.

Theater Input (35Hz)
Use this input with processors and A/V receivers when you
wish to maximize output above 35Hz. This is a fixed input
level designed to give maximum headroom. When using this
input, the Input Level control does not function.
High Pass Outputs:
The high Pass outputs provide a signal for your main
speaker's amplifier which has a fixed 12dB per octave high
pass filter at 100 Hz. Requires use of Left and Right inputs.

These convert speaker level at your receiver or power
amp to the line level required for use in your

New Construction Installation
Tools you'll need:
Power Screw Driver or Hammer
Wire Stripers
Level
Pencil or Pen
Supplies you'll need:
Triad (NCB) New Construction Bracket
Screws or Nails for attaching NCB to studs
Step One - Mark
Locate the area where the speaker will be placed
on the stud wall keeping in mind that the speaker
when installed will take up the
within the NCB location (i.e. free from electrical
wires, water pipes, etc.).
Position the bracket between the desired two
studs. Take special note of the location, of the
direction arrows silk screened to the inside of the
bracket. As you face the wall these arrows should
be facing into the room.
full wall cavity
With the level resting on top of the NCB make
sure the bracket’s top is level and mark with
pencil, the location where the NCB touches the
studs.
Step Two - Attachment
Re-check NCB alignment with marks from step
one, and attach screws through attachment holes
on NCB. Re-check squareness and adjust if
necessary.
Step Three - Wire
Attach the wires from the source to the speaker.
You're done! Now the sheet rock people can sheet rock directly to the NCB for
a clean look. When you're ready to install the speaker, refer to step two of the
“Retro-fit Installation”
section of this manual.

From the volume control, "Y" the speaker wires so that one set goes to the
Satellites, and the other set goes to the Triad PowerSub amplifier through
a converter. You may only "Y" one channel if you wish to limit deep bass
by using the Theater input on the Triad PowerSub amp.

Features & Adjustments
Bass Extension (Hz)
This control adjusts the Bass Extension Level.
This determines how low (lowest frequency note) the
speaker will play. For THX settings, set the level at the
THX mark. If low frequency extension is desired or
when using multiple subs, set level at 18 Hz.
Input Level
This control adjusts the PowerSub's loudness. Use this
adjustment to match the PowerSub's loudness to
your front LCR's or satellites. For THX settings, set the
level at the THX mark. When using multiple subs this
level should be set closer to the MIN mark.
Low Pass Filter (Hz)
This control set the highest frequency (note) that your
PowerSub plays which adjusts (blends) the crossover
point between the PowerSub and satellites. For THX
settings, set the level at the THX mark.
Phase Control
This adjusts the phase (timing) of the signal that is fed
into the
blend between the sub and satellites. Usually set at 0
or 180 degrees.
