Made in France

We thank you very much for purchasing a Waterfall High Force Subwoofer. Our deliberate
choice for aesthetics and performance is constantly guiding our research and development
towards innovative technologies. In order to achieve the best performance with your Home
Cinema system, we recommend you read carefully the following set up instructions.

In order to achieve the best acoustical performance, the HF3 IP Evo,

ideally has to be positioned near an angle/corner in the room.

A) Functions & Set up of HF3 IP’s Amplifier

Warning :

Check the mains voltage selector (N°1) position (115V/230V) and use the correct voltage for your country before connecting the
mains plug. Changing the fuse : In the event of complete failure, first disconnect the powers cable from the mains, then check the
mains fuse. When replacing the fuse, only use a fuse which is absolutely identical to the original one. If this does not solve the
problem, contact your dealer.

• Only the subwoofer is to be connected to the mains supply. Never plug your speakers directly into the main power supply.

• Before proceeding with any connection, make sure that all your equipment is switched off.

• Before switching it on, please ensure that the "level" button (N°4) is on minimum.

• Your Waterfall Speakers are to be directly connected to the speaker output socket on your amplifier or A/VProcessor.

• Also ensure that the polarities are correct : + ( red ) and - ( black ).

• Do not expose this product to heat and humidity.

B) Connection of your Subwoofer and settings in Home Cinema

Your A/V amplifier is equiped with a "pre out sub". Connect it with your modulation cable (not supplied) to one
of the "low level input".

1 • Settings of your A/V amplifier :

In the Set up menu of your A/V amplifer, the "small" mode on

speakers should be selected. If your processor gives you a choice

for the frequency cut off (crossover) in the menu, then choose :

- 80Hz for the channels using Iguasçu Evo or Victoria Evo.

- 120Hz for the channels using Hurricane Evo or Elora.

- 150Hz for the channels using Serio.

If your configuration is a mix of these products and if your Proces­sor doesn’t allow you to choose variable frequencies then choose
120 Hz.

Finalise the complete set up (distance, test tone). Please refer to your A/V’s usuer manual or dealer if you need assistance.

2 • Please set up the HF3 IP’s amplifier as described below :

- Freq (N°6) on 150 Hz. The "24-12-LFE" (N°6) switch must be on
the "LFE" position,
Phase (N°5) should be on 0° in most of the cases. Adjust the

volume level (N°4) to your own choice.

The final audio result will be linked to the quality of
your set up adjustments.
