Concept R 2

Subwoofer controls

➊ 

Power mode 

  "On"  means  that  the  subwoofer  is  operational 
and  permanently  active.  "Auto"  means  that  the 
subwoofer  is  operational  but  is  only  activated 
once it receives an audio signal. In "Auto" mode, 
the subwoofer automatically switches to standby 
after 20 minutes of inactivity.

➋ 

Phase 

This switch determines the phase relationship be-
tween the subwoofer and the front/centre speakers. 
If you are using a modern AV receiver and/or the 
subwoofer is positioned in the speaker set-up as 
indicated on p. 7 (grey area of drawing), set the 
phase to "0°". With other set-ups, the "180°" set-
ting may produce better results. 

➌ 

Level

Use  the  "Level"  control  to  adjust  the  subwoofer's 
volume. In the receiver's bass management section, 
set the bass level to a high value, i.e., b6 
and +12 dB. Next, set the subwoofer's level control 
to 10 o'clock. While the AV receiver is outputting its 
white noise set-up signal, slowly turn up the subwoo-
fer level to the desired volume.

➍ 

Frequency

Use this control to set the crossover frequency bet-
ween the subwoofer's bass signal and the bass fre-
quencies of the other speakers. If you are using an 
AV receiver, set the receiver's crossover frequency 
to 150 Hz and turn the subwoofer's frequency con-
trol to maximum (hard right).

➎ 

Line input

Connect  the  AV  receiver's  "Sub  Out"  to  the  sub-
woofer's "Line input" using a mono RCA cable (op-
tionally with a Y adapter).

➏ 

High level 

Use  these  speaker  sockets  to  connect  the  sub-
woofer  to  a  conventional  stereo  amplifier  or  a 
surround receiver without a dedicated subwoofer 
output. Do not connect anything here if you are 
using a multi-channel AV receiver with a sub out. 

➐ 

Power

Switch to "On" to power up the subwoofer; switch 
to "Off" to power it down. 

➑ 

Mains power socket

➒ 

Fuse

This  is  where  the  mains  power  fuse  is  located. 
When replacing the fuse, make sure the new fuse 
has the same rating.
