Subwoofer amplifier features.
Light on front panel is Blue when active and
Red
when on standby (standby mode, like on a TV draws
next to no power) Switch the X-165 amplifier switch
to
“AUTO”
and this can be left on indefinitely as the
X-165 automatically activates when it senses as incoming
signal. Front panel LED will then turn Blue. After signal
has been removed between 15 and 40 minutes, amplifier
will revert to Standby mode and LED will change to Red.
Level Control Knob
is your volume knob. This adjusts the output of your X-165 to balance
and harmonize with output from your Front / Center etc. etc. speakers. DO NOT set this on
maximum. Be careful not too advance this control too far as overload may occur causing damage
to your X-165 speaker (see below setting recommendations).
Frequency Control Knob.
This control adjusts how low (in frequency) you wish your X-
165 to operate at. In other words, 70 Hz is a lower and deeper frequency than 90Hz, so if you set at
70Hz you will be amplifying all music information
70Hz and below
this frequency and filtering
out everything above which is the ideal intention of a Powered Subwoofer. Take care not to
advance this control too far as overloading may occur (see below recommendations).
Phase Control Switch
is only used if several speaker boxes are in the one room (i.e. Center
Speaker, Surrounds etc.). This Phase switch can be set to ensure the X-165 woofer is “in phase”
with all other woofers operating together in the same room so that Bass cancellation does not
occur. Once your entire speaker system is completely set-up, flick this switch from “NOR” to
“REV” and leave on setting that provides the most Bass. This will be the best setting and be
correctly “in phase”. Leave switch on “NOR” if no audible increase is detected.
Line Output sockets
are provided for adding additional X-165’s using an additional 1RCA
to 1 RCA lead. You may add as many X-165’s as you like (see
“For Big Bass Lovers”
below).
Connections.
Option A.
Connecting from your multi-channel receiver.
Connect a 1 RCA to 1 RCA lead
(not supplied) from SUB-OUT
on your receiver to “LOW
LEVEL INPUT” on
X-165. Connect to
Either “L” or “R”
on X-165 as both
are internally
paralleled.
