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

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.
