FINE TUNING YOUR EPISODE ® POWERED SUBWOOFER
After making all the connections and calibrating the loudspeakers, set up your Episode subwoofer using the following steps:
1. Ensure that the subwoofer is plugged in.
2. Set the following controls and switches to positions that will enable tuning for maximum performance.
VOLUME knob set to 50%, or 12 o’clock (located behind grille on the front panel)
CROSSOVER knob set to 120 Hz or 12 o’clock
PHASE switch set to 0º
During initial setup, it may be helpful to set the MODE switch to the ‘ON’ position. Once calibration is complete, switch it to
‘AUTO’ to enable the automatic power-saving mode.
3. Play a movie scene or music track and set the system volume to an average level. Listen to the bass level from your favorite
listening position. Adjust the VOLUME control as desired.
4. If deeper bass is desired, adjust the CROSSOVER control toward the lower frequencies. Experiment with different frequency
settings until you find one that sounds best. NOTE: When using the LFE input, leave this control set to LFE so the preamplifier
or receiver can control the crossover frequency.
6. Continue listening to your favorite music and movie sources using the settings chosen for volume and crossover.
Now, try experimenting with the PHASE switch until you find the best setting for the installation. Depending on your
subwoofer’s placement, the bass may sound louder or deeper when the phase has been optimized. In some cases, adjusting
phase will make no discernable difference.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE GRILL
To access the VOLUME control, first remove the grill. To do this, start in one top corner and gently pull the grill frame away from
the front baffle of the subwoofer. Repeat this process in remaining three corners. To install the grill, start in one top corner and
gently press the grill frame in around the front baffle, pushing it in at each of the remaining three recessed holes.
CLEANING
Use a soft cloth or paper towel to clean the cabinet. The grill is best cleaned by brushing it off with a lint-free cloth.
