Enhanced Cube Subwoofer
ECS-10
Congratulations on the purchase of an Outlaw Audio ECS-10 Enhanced Cube
Subwoofer. The ECS-10 provides deep, tight, bass extension that’s powerful enough
to meet the most demanding requirements of any movie or musical source.
Thanks to a flexible crossover system that may be defeated for use with advanced
bass management systems, the ECS-10 blends seamlessly with both small satellite
speakers as well as large tower type speaker systems.
The ECS-10’s high-power and long-throw woofer are housed in a cabinet that
measures just over a cubic foot, ensuring that your new subwoofer can be tucked
away out-of-sight in almost any listening environment.
Among the ECS-10’s many features are:
■
A long throw 10” driver for deep bass extension
■
Oversized spider for increased linearity at high excursion
■
A powerful 1,000 watt RMS (2000 watts dynamic) amplifier for precision
driver control
■
Signal Sense for automatic turn on/off (can be defeated)
■
0/180-degree phase control
■
Stereo line level and speaker level inputs
■
LFE input
Unpacking
The carton and packing materials used in shipping your new subwoofer were
specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and vibrations of shipping. We
strongly suggest that you save the carton and packing materials to use if you move,
or if the unit ever needs to be shipped back to us for any reason.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it by carefully
opening the top and bottom flaps and folding the carton flat. Packing materials
that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
Before You Begin
Before proceeding with the integration of the ECS-10 into your system, please
observe the following precautions and suggestions.
■
Do not plug the power cord into the ECS-10 until all other connections are
made.
■
Always refer to the instructions that came with the receiver or processor for
specific procedures, warnings and options.
■
Make sure to insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper connections
can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment.
■
Do not bundle the subwoofer cable or speaker wire with the power cord. This
may adversely affect the sound quality and introduce unwanted hum into
your system.
