Fold up the original packaging and store it in a safe
place. The carton and packing pieces are specially
designed for these speakers. They form a secure
container if you ever need to transport the sub-woofer,
and help to maintain the speaker's value if you ever wish
to sell it.
If you do not want to keep the packaging materials,
kindly return them to your dealer who will dispose of
them in the proper way.
Assembly notes
The sub-woofer is supplied complete with four speaker
feet, four cross-point screws and four rubber plugs.
To fit the speaker feet invert the sub-woofer and lay it on
a non-scratching surface.
Fix the feet to the speaker as shown in the drawing,
fitting the four cross-point screws in the threaded holes in
the underside of the sub-woofer. Position the feet with
their edges parallel to the cabinet edges.
Push the rubber plugs into the holes in the speaker feet.
Note:
The sub-woofer is supplied with side-mounted protective
grilles which feature a soft backing. They are designed to
protect the loudspeaker drive units.
These grilles should not be removed, as they are an
integral part of the speaker's acoustic system. Removing
the grilles will damage them, and also has an adverse
effect on the sound image.
Set-up position
Wherever possible the sub-woofer should be positioned
on the same side of the room as the satellite loud-
speakers.
In most cases the most favourable position for the sub-
woofer is on the floor close to a wall. In this case switch
POSITION should be set to the 'WALL/FREE'
position.
Positioning the sub-woofer right in one corner of the
room may result in excessive emphasis of the low-
frequency bass signal. Move the POSITION switch
to
the 'CORNER' setting to compensate for this.
Wiring
To complete the connections invert the sub-woofer and
lay it on a non-scratching surface. From the wiring
diagrams (see section 'Wiring variants') select the
combination which matches your application, and
complete the wiring as shown.
Note:
Be sure to set the switches and adjustors correctly, as
shown in the table!
Connect the mains lead supplied with the sub-woofer to
the mains socket
.
Switch on the unit using the mains switch while the sub-
woofer is still upside-down. You can now test the unit
and optimise the switch and adjustor positions.
When you are satisfied, turn the sub-woofer the right way
up and place it on its feet in the final position. It is now
ready for use.
