Volume Control

This control affects how loud the subwoofer plays. For connection to an A/V

receiver, it should normally be set to 10 o’clock to 12 o’clock before running

auto-set-up. For 2-channel applications, it should be adjusted to match the

output level of the loudspeakers.

Phase Control

This control delays the signal being processed through the amplifier. For

connection to an A/V receiver, it should be set to 0 degrees. For 2-channel

applications, it should be adjusted to obtain the most coherent and stable

soundstage and transition between the loudspeakers and the subwoofer.

Low Pass Filter

This control affects the upper frequency limit of the subwoofer. The control

range is 50-160 Hz, along with a disable (LFE) setting. The slope of the low

pass filter is 12 dB/octave. For connection to an A/V receiver, the low pass

should be set to LFE (i.e., disabled). For 2-channel applications, it should be

adjusted to blend with the natural roll-off frequency of your loudspeakers. The

manufacturer’s rated bass extension for your loudspeakers is a good starting

point, but final blending is best done by ear.

Auto/Standby and On Switch

If this switch is set to Auto/Standby, it will automatically turn-on the subwoofer

in the presence of a signal. If no signal is present for a period of several

minutes, the amplifier will drop into Standby mode, where power consumption

will be less than 0.5 watts. If this switch is set to On, the amplifier will remain

on continuously and will not drop into Standby mode.

3V-12V Trigger Input

This feature will automatically bring the subwoofer amplifier out of Standby

mode if a signal is sent to this input from another component in the system

(typically the pre/pro or A/V receiver). The other component in the system must

be equipped with a trigger output feature. The required cable jack is a TS 1/8”

mono (pictured below).
