Each subwoofer is protected by a double- wall outer carton with heavy v-board corner protectors. Custom fitted foam end caps are used to protect the elegant cabinetry, and a custom ba...

Speaker placement we can calculate what the most strongly reinforced frequencies in a room will be by the formula shown below: since the human ear is rather poor at localizing radiation frequencies below 125 hz, good results may be obtained in a variety of room placements. Careful adjustment of the ...

Speaker placement now, while such reinforcement might actually be beneficial at very low frequencies, excessive excitation can cause “overhang” or a droning effect at mid-bass frequencies. A way to minimize excitation of these resonances is to place your subwoofer asymmetrically relative to room bou...

Speaker connections note: if using the low-level inputs, we suggest using cables that are no longer than 5 meters. Longer lengths of rca cable can result in greater noise and attenuation of the signal. Once you’ve found a place in your room, the next step is connecting the metro xd to your existing ...

Option 2: connecting single sub out connect the preamp/processor’s “sub out” to the left channel rca input (mono). Option 3: the metro xd provides an xlr input jack for balanced connections from your preamp or processor page 10 of 19.

Fine tuning adjusting the metro xd subwoofer on the back panel of the metro xd subwoofer you’ll notice four controls: level, freq., blend and phase. These allow an extraordinary amount of control over your subwoofer. These controls will allow you to tailor the sound of the sub to your room and integ...

Fine tuning using pink noise or a 50-60 hz test tone, listen for the strongest output. Now take note of that setting. Next, play music program material and optimize the level and phase settings further; adjusting for the smoothest output. While seated at your listening position, have someone sweep t...
