fi

er o

ers features and technologies 

that allow it to deliver uncompromising performance, 

even under extreme conditions The next few pages will 

describe in details the LM1000 built-in functions and 

their applications. 

We strongly recommend that you review these pages

LM1000 Amplifier Overview 

(1) RCA/LOW LEVEL INPUT & OUTPUT

This is the best was to drive audio signal to the 

LM1000 Supernova MKV ampli

fi

er. The low level 

output is crossed in high pass mode at 100Hz, per-

fect source to feed a center channel amp.

NOTE: DO NOT USE HIGH LEVEL AND LOW 
LEVEL INPUTS AT THE SAME TIME.

(2) BALANCED XLR INPUT

The use of fully balanced XLR inputs can be used  in 

cases when the distance between the Supernova 

Luminous and the audio source is excessive and 

susceptible to noise interference. The XLR input is a 

true balanced input. Both conductors are isolated 

relative to ground.

(3) REMOTE EYE INPUT

Simply plug in the remote eye provide in the RE-

MOTE input. Once plugged in, place the remote eye 

anywhere in the room where it is convenient for 

the user to control the ampli

fi

er’s volume using the 

included remote control.

.4 

(4) GAIN CONTROL

This knob allows the user to control the volume of the 

subwoofer. Always start at the lowest setting and 

slowly increase the volume until the desired sub-

woofer level is reached. We suggest keeping the Super-

nova’s VOLUME knob between the 10 and 2 o’clock 

position and controlling its volume level through the 

output controls of your surround sound processor.

(5) LOW PASS FILTER

The 24dB/octave variable low pass 

fi

lter from 50–

150Hz is designed to control the subwoofer’s cuto

 

frequency. The recommended general setting is at the 

2 o’clock position.

(6) PHASE SHIFT SWITCH

This 0°–180° switch allows the user to synchronize the 

subwoofer to obtain a better and more precise bass 

response.

(7) 12 VOLT TRIGGER

This feature allows the user to power on the LM1000 

ampli

fi

er from your home A/V receiver. If supported, 

when your A/V receiver is turned on a 12V signal is sent 

to the subwoofer and will turn on when the power 

switch is in the o

 position.

(8) AC POWER SOCKET & BUILT-IN FUSE

Always replace the protection fuse with a similar value 

fuse. For your convenience, an extra fuse is provided in 

the compartment located right below the AC power 

socket. To access the extra fuse you simply unplug the 

power cable from the subwoofer, place a 

fl

at-head 

screwdriver in the small notch and gently pry it open.

(9) POWER SWITCH & LED INDICATOR

When the toggle switch is in the

ON

position, the signal 

detection circuitry is engaged and the subwoofer is in

AUTO ON/OFF

mode. When the switch is in the OFF 

position, the ampli

fi

er is shut down completely. 

The power LED indicates whether the subwoofer is 

connected to a power source. When plugged in to a 

power source, the LED will remain glowing green at all 

times regardless of the power toggle switch position.

NOTE:

If the LED indicator does not illuminate, check 

the built-in fuse using the method described above.
