Do I really need a subwoofer?
It depends on your tastes . For flat panel loudspeakers with a limited low frequency extension, you probably need
a subwoofer . Especially if you like organ music, synthesizers and modern party music . Larger panels will extend
towards 45Hertz . These will perfectly suit most middle of the road repertoire without need for a subwoofer .
In a 5 .1 or 7 .1 home theatre system, a subwoofer is an undeniable part of the experience . When you can’t live
without the dynamic power, the physical impact and the low frequency extension a decent movie can provide,
please run for a subwoofer . But, for different reasons, you can do without sub . The only thing you have to do, is to
reconfigure the av receiver’s bass management to route the lower frequencies to the front loudspeakers .
Should I unplug my subwoofer during lightning?
Yes, but try to unplug the sub and the rest of your equipment before the lightning is straight above your house .
Unplug the equipment physically from the AC-line . Switching it off or using the stand-by mode does not protect at
all against lightning .
Do I need a separate amplifier for my subwoofer?
Unless you buy ‘passive’ subwoofers: NO . Most subwoofers come with an inbuilt amplifier . Those ‘active’ subwoofers
only need a low level (rca) of high-level connection with existing amplifiers .
Do I need separate subwoofers for music and home theatre?
Basically, a really good subwoofer can provide optimal results for both applications . In daily live, most people feel
the need for a larger sub in their home theatre, because of the visceral impact, that is inherent and part of the fun of
watching movies . Apart from this, listening to music needs a different balance between the subwoofer and the rest
of the system, than watching and listening to movies . Most av-processors will provide you with the opportunity to
simply make small adjustments, using the remote control .
Can I clean my Final subwoofer?
Yes, but first disconnect the AC-line . Clean only with a damp cloth . Never use cleansers or chemicals . Never leave a
wet cloth on the surface of the cabinet .
