Care of your speaker

Your new subwoofer/-s does not require any regular maintenance or calibration. Normal dusting or 
cleaning of the surface for appearance purposes is all that is required. 

Cabinet and baffle

Avoid using harsh detergents or chemicals when cleaning the cabinet.  Abrasives, detergents, or 
cleaning solutions may damage the finish on the cabinet.  We recommend using only a damp cloth or 
automotive grade “quick detailer” designed for painted surfaces, plastic & metal trim, to clean the cabinet.

Grill

The cloth grill may be  carefully  cleaned  using  a vacuum.  Animal hair can be removed using masking 
tape or similar.  Avoid using brushes with stiff bristles that may damage the grill cloth.

Woofer

DO NOT use liquids, brushes or a vacuum to clean the drive units.  

Protection circuitry

Your new subwoofer is equipped with special protection circuitry to provide maximum performance 
with greatest reliability. 

The unit is protected against:
1) 

Overdriving the speaker or amplifier.

2) 

Overheating the amplifier.

3) 

Excessive drop in power line voltage.

The first type of protection circuitry which prevents overdriving of the speaker or amplifier operates 
constantly without being audible under most situations.  In some extreme situations (e.g. sustained high 
output levels in warm environments), the unit may shut down momentarily.  This indicates operation of 
the thermal or undervoltage protection circuitry.  If  this should happen, you should reduce the volume 
setting or shut the unit off until normal operating conditions return.  You may also want to plug the unit 
into a different wall outlet (or circuit), as inadequate power line voltage & current will be most noticeable 
under high output conditions.

Power Indicator Light (10)

This LED indicates the operating mode of the subwoofer. Green indicates normal “ON” operation. Red 
indicates the subwoofer is in a low power “standby” mode. 

Power Switch (11)

The master power switch is located on the lower half of the unit.  This rocker style switch is the main 
on/off for the unit.  This switch should be set to position 1 (up) for on, and 0 (down) for off.  If the unit is to 
be left unused for an extended period of time (e.g. when you are away on vacation), the master power 
switch should be turned off, or the mains power cord disconnected.
