Warning :

Check the mains voltage selector (N°1) position (115V/230V) and use the correct voltage for your country before connecting the 
mains plug. Changing the fuse : In the event of complete failure, first disconnect the powers cable from the mains, then check the 
mains fuse. When replacing the fuse, only use a fuse which is absolutely identical to the original one. If this does not solve the 
problem, contact your dealer.
• Only the subwoofer is to be connected to the mains supply. Never plug your speakers directly into the main power supply.
• Before proceeding with any connection, make sure that all your equipment is switched off.
• Before switching it on, please ensure that the "level" button (N°4) is on minimum.
• Your Waterfall Speakers are to be directly connected to the speaker output socket on your amplifier or A/VProcessor.
• Also ensure that the polarities are correct : + (red) and - (black).
• Do not expose this product to heat and humidity.

The  subwoofer  MUST  be  connected  to  the  mains  with  the 

enclosed  connector  cord. The  main  switch  has  to  be  on  "on" 

position  and  the  (N°8)  switch  "on-auto-off"  in  the  "auto" 

position. Your HF1 Evo Subwoofer is equipped with a wide range 

of connection options for Hi Fi or Audi Video, Home Cinema.

In order to achieve the best acoustical performance, the HF1 Evo,
ideally has to be positioned near an angle/corner in the room.

1 • Settings of your A/V amplifier :

In  the  Set  up  menu  of  your A/V  amplifer,  the  "small"  mode  on 

speakers should be selected. If your processor gives you a choice 

for the frequency cut off (crossover) in the menu, then choose :

- 80Hz

 for the channels using Iguasçu Evo or Victoria Evo.

- 120Hz

 for the channels using Hurricane Evo or Elora.

- 150Hz

 for the channels using Serio.

If your configuration is a mix of these products and if your Proces-

sor doesn’t allow you to choose variable  frequencies then choose 

120 Hz.

- Freq (N°6) on 150 Hz. The "24-12-LFE" (N°6) switch must be on 

the "LFE" position,

Phase  (N°5)  should  be  on  0°  in  most  of  the  cases. Adjust  the 

volume level (N°4) to your own choice.

The final audio result will be linked to the quality of 

your set up adjustments.

Freq (N°6) on 130 Hz (as shown) if you use Serio, Hurricane Evo or Elora, 60 Hz if you use an Iguasçu Evo or Victoria Evo.
-"24-12-LFE" (N°9) switch must be on the "12" position,
- Phase (N°5) should be on 0° in most of the cases. Phase may be adjusted if necessary.
- Adjust the volume level (N°6) to your own choice.

Configuration B : 

Your amplifier doesn’t have a "Pre Out" 

output. Connect the “High level Input” (N°12) to the ampli-

fier. Please check for the right polarities (+) red (-) black. An 

Error would result into destroying both your Stereo amplifier 

and your Subwoofer.
