Unpacking
Carefully unpack the subwoofer and transmitter. If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your
dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use. Be sure to keep your purchase
receipt in a safe place, as it may be required for warranty purposes.
Placement Options
Place the subwoofer next to a wall or in a corner near your main speakers. The sound is typically best when the subwoofer is
within 15 feet (4.5m) of the main speakers. The sharp 24dB/octave crossover roll-off permits placement farther from the main
speakers if necessary. Since the ear is unable to localize the low frequencies of the subwoofer, the bass still appears to come
from the main speakers. Experimentation is key, however most positions in the room will work well.
The level of bass output from the subwoofer will vary at diff erent positions in a room. When placed near walls, its loudness is
emphasized. Corner placement provides the most bass output. Placement completely away from walls may produce too little
bass. Regardless of the natural bass level within the room you will always have the ability to adjust the level of the subwoofer
from the built in volume control. If at any time you move the subwoofer be sure to check all of your settings.
The foot on the bottom of the subwoofer can be removed to produce a slight backward tilt. Remove the thumbscrew from
the back of the foot to remove it. The screw is slotted for easy removal with a screwdriver or a coin.
IMPORTANT: Do not place the subwoofer where there is a chance of contact between the rear panel and drapes or furniture.
