Earthquake Sound SuperNova MKVI - Manual (Page 2)

Congratulations and thank you for choosing the new Earthquake SuperNova
MKVI Subwoofer as a key component for your audiophile system. The MKVI
subwoofers are designed to meet the highest standards of performance and
sound quality. In addition, Earthquake Sound’s IQ certification and patented
Class “J” circuitry ensure that the subwoofer meets and exceeds all industry
standards. The new MKVI subs include many unique technologies that allow
them to deliver “World Class” performance, even under extreme operating
conditions.
The SuperNova's are ruggedly constructed high quality audiophile subwoofers.
The Digital feedback class “J” Circuitry, allows the subs' built-in amplifier to
produce massive amounts of power with minimal heat production. This
patented circuitry delivers high efficiency in the range of 99% -- the typical class
AB amplifier runs at about 40 to 50%.
The MKVIs' amplifier offers a room correction technique that surpasses all
previous attempts. The intelligent “Back emf” drive circuit interacts with the
subwoofer design and memorizes system tuning frequencies as well as system
type. The information, which is stored in microprocessor, turns on a preset
group delay curve that serves as a correction reference. This information deals
only with time correction that moves the peaks and the dips in a room to a flat.
Once that is achieved, the user will resort to the final correction- EQ the room.
For that reason, Earthquake’s SuperNova MKVI is truly an intelligent system.
20Hz, 30Hz and 40Hz frequencies can be cut or boosted by a whopping 6dB,
these corrections help in producing wider range of listening position that is
unprecedented for the room.
Introduction

The SuperNova MKVI is capable of generating
high sound pressure levels. You should exercise
caution when operating this system. Long term
exposure to high levels of sound pressure will cause permanent
damage to your hearing. Sound pressure levels exceeding
85dB can be dangerous with constant exposure. Set your audio
system to a comfortable loudness level. Earthquake Sound
Corporation does not assume liability for damages resulting
from the direct use of the MKVI , and urges users to play the
MKVI at moderate listening levels. THE CHART (ON THE SIDE) SHOWS THE U.S. GOVERNMENTS
