N
ow that you have made all the
necessary connections between the Ultra-X12
and your receiver or processor, it’s time to power
up your subwoofer and adjust its controls and
settings in order to properly integrate it with
your speakers and room configuration.
In the section titled “Subwoofer
Placement,” located on page 14, we will
focus on determining the best location for the
subwoofer. After moving your Ultra, you might
need to adjust the subwoofer’s controls to take
advantage of its new room position.

Power Connection
Once all connections have been made, connect the supplied
power cord to the AC Input on the rear panel of the Ultra-X12
Subwoofer and an un-switched AC outlet, then reconnect
your receiver or processor to the AC power source.
CAUTION:
Due to the power requirements of the
Ultra-X12 Subwoofer, it must not be connected to the
accessory outlets on a receiver or processor. If a power-strip or
surge protector is used, make certain that it is rated to accommo-
date the Ultra’s power requirements.
The Ultra-X12 Subwoofer uses an external fuse to protect the
amplifier from damage. In the event that a fuse replacement
is required, be certain that a fuse of the original rating (5 x
20mm 5A slow blow fuse) is used. If the fuse continues to fail,
your unit may have sustained internal component failure. In
this event, please contact Outlaw for assistance.
WARNING:
Always turn the subwoofer off and unplug the
power cord from the AC Power before replacing the fuse.
Proceed to the “Setting the Variable Tuning Ultra-X12
Subwoofer's Controls” section to learn about the Ultra’s
controls and how they operate.
Overview
Before you Begin
¼
Always refer to your receiver or processor’s instruc-
tions for specific procedures, warnings, and options.
¼
Do not attempt to operate the Ultra-X12 unless the
feet have been properly installed. This may restrict
driver movement and will cause damage to the
subwoofer that is not covered by the warranty.
¼
When making adjustments to the volume controls of
your subwoofer and system speakers, we recommend
using an SPL meter such as the Radio Shack model
(part number 33-2050). When using the test tones,
measure from the listening position and set the
meter’s range (if applicable) to 80dB. You will then
be able to calibrate your speakers to 75dB and your
subwoofer to 85dB. In order to accurately measure
levels between channels use “C” weighting and the
“slow” setting.
Power Controls
Before powering on the Ultra-X12, ensure that all the
audio and AC power connections made to the subwoofer
are secure, and that the other components in your system
are turned off. Next, locate the MASTER POWER switch on
the rear panel of the Ultra-X12 and set it to ON. This switch
supplies AC current to the subwoofer. The POWER INDICA-
TOR LED will glow red.
Normally, you can leave this switch set to ON. If the unit
will not be used for an extended period of time, we
recommend setting this switch off to prevent accidental activation.
¼
To turn the Ultra-X12 on and off manually:
1.
To turn the subwoofer on, set the Ultra’s POWER
toggle switch on the rear panel to ON.
The POWER INDICATOR LED will glow green.
2.
To turn the subwoofer off, set the Ultra’s POWER
toggle switch on the rear panel to OFF.
The POWER INDICATOR LED will glow red.
