TA0.1 Amplifier

OPERATING YOUR AMPLIFIER

For Home Theater installations, once you have properly set up your amplifier, it is important to take time to

balance the transducer and subwoofer sound. The volume of the transducer is controlled by the receiver and

will rise or fall in direct proportion to that of the primary speakers. This proportion is determined by both the

volume setting on the receiver and the gain setting on the TA0.1 amplifier.

NOTE: Some receivers have internal, automatic balancing systems. These systems rely on microphones

that sense the sound levels within the room. Since tactile sound transducers are heard through your body,

instead of through the air, automatic balancing systems may be ineffective when balancing the subwoofer

volume. We suggest using the following procedure, rather than activating the automatic balancing system.
