OPERATING YOUR AMPLIFIER
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 TA1501C 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.
STEPS:
Set the TA1501C 1. Power Switch on the back of the amplifier to “OFF” (see photo #1 below).
If you are using a low-level signal, such as an MP3 player, set the 2. High/Low Switch to “LOW.” If you are
connecting to a high-level signal, such as an A/V receiver, set the switch to “HIGH.” (see photo #2).
Turn the 3. Gain Control counter-clockwise to the “MIN” position (see photo #3).
