5. Opsætning
5.1 Placering
The placement of your subwoofer can significantly impact its performance. Experiment with different locations to find the best bass response in your listening environment. Generally, placing the subwoofer in a corner can enhance bass output, but may also lead to boomy sound. Placing it along a wall often provides a more balanced sound. Avoid placing it directly against a wall if possible, to allow for some air circulation.
5.2 Forbindelser
Ensure all audio equipment is turned off before making any connections.
Line Level Input (RCA)
If your AV receiver or pre-amplifier has a dedicated subwoofer output (LFE or Sub Out), connect a single RCA cable from this output to the VENSTRE (MONO) Line Level Input on the subwoofer. If your receiver has stereo pre-outs, connect both Left and Right RCA cables from the pre-outs to the corresponding VENSTRE og HØJRE Line Level Inputs on the subwoofer.
Højttalerniveauindgang
Hvis din amplifier or receiver does not have a dedicated subwoofer output or pre-outs, you can connect the subwoofer using the speaker level inputs. Connect the speaker cables from your amplifier's main speaker outputs to the SPEAKER LEVEL INPUTS on the subwoofer. Then, connect your main speakers from the HØJTTALERNIVEAU OUTPUTS on the subwoofer. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
5.3 Strømtilslutning
- Ensure the subwoofer's power switch is in the SLUKKET position.
- Tilslut det medfølgende netkabel til AC INPUT socket on the rear panel of the subwoofer.
- Sæt den anden ende af netledningen i en passende stikkontakt.
6. Betjeningsvejledning
6.1 Indledende opstart
- After making all connections, switch the main power switch on the rear panel to ON.
- Indstil AUTO POWER ON/OFF switch to your desired setting. In "Auto" mode, the subwoofer will power on when an audio signal is detected and enter standby after a period of inactivity. In "On" mode, it will remain powered on.
- The LED indicator on the front panel will illuminate (typically green for active, red for standby).
6.2 Styringer
- Bind: Justerer subwooferens samlede udgangsniveau. Start med en lav indstilling og øg gradvist, indtil bassen blandes problemfrit med dine hovedhøjttalere.
- Krydsfrekvens: This control determines the upper frequency limit at which the subwoofer operates. Set it to match the low-frequency capabilities of your main speakers. A common starting point is 80Hz-100Hz for bookshelf speakers, or lower for larger floorstanding speakers.
- Phase (0/180 degrees): This switch helps to ensure the subwoofer's output is in phase with your main speakers. Listen to music with strong bass and toggle the switch. Choose the position that provides the most impactful and coherent bass response.
- Automatisk tænd/sluk: Selects whether the subwoofer automatically turns on/off based on audio signal detection or remains continuously on.
7. Vedligeholdelse
- Rensning: Disconnect the power cord before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cabinet. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays.
- Ventilation: Kontrollér regelmæssigt, at ventilationsåbningerne er fri for støv og snavs.
- Opbevaring: If storing the subwoofer for an extended period, ensure it is in a cool, dry place, protected from dust and extreme temperatures.
