Dayton Audio SUB-1500 15" 150 Watt Powered Subwoofer - Manual (Page 2)

Thank you for purchasing the Dayton Audio ® SUB-1500 15" Powered Subwoofer.
It is the perfect addition to any home theater system. This powered sub features a
bottom firing flared port bass reflex design for reduced port noise and increased bass
response. It also utilizes a long throw 15" pulp-cone woofer and up to 150 watts of
house shaking power. This compact sub is finished in a non-obtrusive black laminate
that will complement any decor.
Hookup
1. Line Level Inputs
The line level inputs are used to connect pre-out or preamplifier outputs directly
to the subwoofer amplifier’s internal crossover. These inputs are summed to
mono. This is the preferred way to connect the subwoofer amplifier. If you
have a mono line level signal from a “Pro Logic”or “Dolby Digital” receiver
use the right “red” input.
Note: If a LFE mono output is connected, set the
crossover point to maximum.
2. High Level Inputs
If preamplifier outputs are not available, use the high-level (speaker) inputs. The
speaker level inputs can be connected directly to the amplifier by inserting the
speaker wire.
3. High Level Outputs
There are also high level outputs which can be used to connect to main speakers
or to another powered subwoofer with high level inputs.
Note: High level
outputs are paralleled to the high level inputs with no high pass filter.
4. Crossover Frequency Control:
Continuously variable from 40Hz to 140Hz at 12dB/octave. Set the frequency
control to where the audio does not sound “muddy”, normally between 60-80Hz.
Note: If a LFE mono output is connected set the crossover point to maximum.
5. Gain Control:
Adjusts the output level of the subwoofer. Set the level to where the bass
frequencies blend with the other speakers.
Note: Setting the level too high
may cause the audio to sound “boomy”. Reducing the level can provide
cleaner and more balanced sound.
6. Phase Switch:
Selectable between 0° and 180°. This assists subwoofer placement. The
correct position will be the one that provides the most apparent bass output.
7. Power Switch (Auto On/Off):
When the power is in the auto position, the amplifier will automatically turn on
when a signal is present. Note: In auto/off mode, the power on LED is always on
(red), even when amp is in rest mode (off). The power LED will turn green when
the unit is activated.
Room Placement
Note: The SUB-1500 Subwoofer
System weighs in excess of 50
lbs. Two people may be required
for unloading/placement.
The SUB-1500 Subwoofer
System will produce more bass
when it is placed in a corner.
Choose a corner that is close to
the component area and place it
at the front of the listening area.
