Control Descriptions
By using the controls and the supplied bass plug, you can alter
the sonic characteristics in a wide variety. This is a great aid in
obtaining the optimal sound.
Sound is always a matter of time, so please
take yout time to find the sound to fit your
personal taste.
For further instructions on the controls and
connections mentioned here, see the chapter
Functional reference
.
VOLUME
Controls volume level of subwoofer.
Be gentle on the volume knob, please
remember that certain sound signals may
contain a lot of energy.
FREQUENCY
Using this variable control, you can adjust the boundary
frequency for the low pass filter from 50Hz to 150Hz. The steep
is 18 dB/octave. You can hereby change the character of the
woofer, depending on what you prefer (more or less deep) and
matched to your other speakers.
On modern amplifiers you commonly have the possibility to set
the size of the loudspeakers (small / big etc). If you have small
front speakers, you should set the size to small. Thus, they will
recreate middle bas, mid-range and trebble much better -
leaving the deep bass tones alone to the subwoofer.
PHASE
Variable control for 0-180 phase adjustment.
The technical difference between these two extremes (0 and 180
degrees) corresponds to altering the poles of the cables (setting
+ to - and - to +)
In a normal installation, this should be set to
0. But it will have impact on the sonic
characteristics, especially the co-operation
with the front speakers.
Please note that the difference betweenthe
lines is 18 degrees
