ECS-10 Enhanced Cube Subwoofer

Owner’s Manual

Setup Guide

The ECS-10’s Controls and Connections

A  MASTER POWER Switch

This switch is used to turn the ECS-10 on or off. When the unit will not be 
used for extended periods, we recommend that it be turned off to prevent 
accidental activation.

B  SUBWOOFER VOLUME Control

This knob controls the output level of the ECS-10.

C  AUTO ON/OFF Power Switch

This switch enables the ECS-10’s signal sense mode so that the unit turns on 
automatically when an audio signal is present.

D  LOW-PASS CROSSOVER Control

This control sets the frequency of the built in variable low pass crossover.

E  X-OVER Switch

When an external crossover such as the Outlaw Audio ICBM is used, this 
switch will bypass the ECS-10’s internal crossover.

F  PHASE Switch

This control changes the phase of the ECS-10 with respect to the main 
speakers.

G  LINE LEVEL OUT

Connect these bandwidth limited outputs to your power amplifier.

H  LFE

Connect the subwoofer output or stereo preamp outputs of your receiver, 
processor or other source device or accessory to this jack(s).

I  HIGH LEVEL INPUTS

When your receiver does not have line level outputs available for a subwoofer 
connection, connect the speaker outputs of the receiver here.

Setup Guide

Connecting To Your System

To get the maximum performance from your new ECS-10 it must be properly 
connected, positioned properly within the room and configured to match your 
speakers. To connect the ECS-10 you will need either a single audio interconnect 
cable (in the case of systems with a subwoofer output), a pair of audio intercon-
nects (in the case of systems without a left/right pre-amp outpt) or additional 
speaker wire. We recommend the Outlaw Audio PCA SUB cable, but any high 
quality, shielded audio interconnect will work properly.

Connecting to a System with a Subwoofer  

Preamp Output

If a low-level subwoofer output is available, use this jack to connect your ECS 
subwoofer to your Preamp or Receiver. See Diagram 1 below.

To connect the ECS-10 to a subwoofer preamp output:

1.

  Turn off all system components and unplug the processor or receiver 

and the ECS-10 from their AC power source.

2.

  Locate the “Subwoofer/LFE Output“ on the rear panel of your receiver 

or processor. 

Any audio product that decodes Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks will have 
this type of jack. Depending on the particular brand or model, this RCA 
jack may be labeled “Sub,” “Subwoofer,” or “LFE Out.” If your receiver 
or processor does not have this type of output you will need to follow the 
“Connecting to a System with No Preamp Outputs“ instructions that fol-
low this section. 

3.

  Connect one end of the subwoofer cable to the subwoofer or LFE output 

on the receiver or processor.

4.

  Locate the connection labeled LFE on the rear panel of the ECS-10 and 

connect the other end of the subwoofer cable to that jack.
