SUBWAVE Manual

Dear Customer,

Thank you very much for your purchase of a SUBWAVE speaker. Please read these instructions carefully and
completely before you install your speaker. This will help you avoid problems and repairs.

1. Safety Information

The SUBWAVE is provided with a mains voltage that can be life-threatening (230 V~). Do not open the housing
under any circumstances. Improper handling can cause electric shock. Opening the housing will also nullify all
guarantees. The following points must be observed.

- SUBWAVE is only for indoor use. Protect it from dampness and heat.

- The permissible temperature range is between 0° C and 35° C.

- Do not use the speaker but remove the cable from the mains supply if:
a) visible damage is present,
b) it has been droped or similar accident has occurred that could have caused a defect,
c) a functional disturbance occurs.

- In the case of a defect, retourn the speaker to a specialised repair shop only.

- If the speaker is used for another purpose, connected incorrectly, operated incorrectly or repaired by someone
other than a specialist, then no liability for damages will be assumed.

- For cleaning, use only a soft, dry cloth. Never use water or chemicals.

- Speakers with a standby function must be turned off before leaving the house or apartment.

2. Connection and Operation

2.1 Operating elements and connection sockets

1) POWER

If the power switch is in position "0", then the speaker is separated from the mains supply. In the position "I",
the speaker is ready for use and works in the pre-set mode "MODE-PWR“.

2) PRIMARY FUSE

Mains side 3.15 A (slow blow) cut-out fuse

3) MAINS CABLE CONNECTION

220V-240 V AC mains voltage with 50-60 Hz

4) LED "ON"

Indicates the speaker is in operation.

5/6) HIGH POWER INPUT LEFT+RIGHT

2 kOhm input impedance
High level input for the connection to the output of an amplifier.

7) LINE IN R+L

10 kOhm input impedance
Low level input with cinch socket for the connection to a pre-selector line.

8) SAT OUT R+L

Low level output for the connection of an amplifier that drives the satellite speaker.

9) FREQ SAT

Butterworth 2

nd

order
The lower operating frequency of the satellite loudspeaker can be adjusted gradually within a range of 40
Hz-110 Hz. The signal is available on the cinch socket SAT OUT R+L (see no. 7).

10) FREQ BASS EQ

The operating frequency of the bass equalizer can be gradually adjusted between 20 Hz-40 Hz.

11) LEVEL BASS EQ

The power of the bass equalizer is adjustable up to +6 dB.

12) FREQ SUB

Butterworth 3
The upper frequency limit of the SUBWAVE can be gradually adjusted within a range of 40 Hz-110 Hz. Sub­sonic: Butterworth 3

order at 12 Hz.

13) PHASE SUB

Phase regulation for the exact time adaptation of the SUBWAVE to the main speaker (0°-270°).

14) LEVEL SUB

SUBWAVE volume control unit.

15) SUB FILTER

ON: Your speaker is using the internal subwoofer filter.
BYPASS: The internal subwoofer filter is turned off, but all other controls such as the Bass-EQ or Phase re­main in operation. The bypass position is especially for the selection of a surround decoder that is connected
to the speaker by the SUB-OUT, so that the filters do not mutually affect one another.

16) MODE PWR

ON: The speaker is turned on, the "In Operation" LED lights up.
STANDBY: The speaker turns itself on automatically when it receives an incoming music signal (The "In Op­eration" LED lights up.) and after about 5 minutes without a signal, it will turn itself off again.

(8 watts standby consumption).
