4. Opsætning og installation
4.1 Subwoofer Installation
The Focal 100IWSUB8 is designed for in-wall installation, fitting within standard 16-inch on-center (OC) joists. Its shallow depth (3 3/8 inches or 86mm) allows for discreet integration.
- Valg af sted: Choose a suitable in-wall location, ensuring there are no obstructions (electrical wires, plumbing) behind the drywall. The subwoofer requires a cut-out dimension of 13 7/8 x 5 13/16 inches (352 x 1,300mm).
- Forbered åbning: Carefully cut the opening in the wall according to the specified dimensions.
- Ledningsføring: Kør højttalerledningen fra amplifier location to the subwoofer opening. Ensure proper polarity.
- Montering: Insert the subwoofer into the opening. Secure it using the provided mounting hardware. The subwoofer features an 8-inch Polyglass speaker driver and a front vent designed for no-noise operation.
- Grilltilbehør: Once the subwoofer is securely installed, attach the low-profile magnetic grille. The grille is paint-ready, allowing it to blend seamlessly with your wall color.
4.2 Amplivligere forbindelse
The Focal 100 IWSUB8 Amplifier is designed to power the 100IWSUB8 subwoofer. It can drive up to two 100IWSUB8 subwoofers connected in parallel.
- Placering: Placer amplifier in a well-ventilated area, preferably in an equipment rack or on a stable surface.
- Højttalerforbindelse: Connect the speaker wire(s) from the subwoofer(s) to the 'SPEAKER OUTPUT' terminals on the rear of the amplifier. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The amplifier supports a minimum load of 4 ohms.
- Lydindgang: Connect your audio source (e.g., AV receiver's LFE output, or Line In L/R) to the 'INPUT' section on the ampliferens bagpanel.
- Strømtilslutning: Connect the detachable IEC power cord to the ampog derefter til en passende stikkontakt.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Amplivligere kontroller
The front panel of the 100 IWSUB8 Amplifier features several controls for fine-tuning the subwoofer's performance:
- Crossover: Adjusts the upper frequency limit of the subwoofer. This should be set to blend smoothly with your main speakers. The range is typically 40Hz to 160Hz.
- Fase: Allows adjustment of the subwoofer's phase (0° or 180°) to ensure it is in phase with your main speakers, preventing cancellation at the crossover frequency.
- Bind: Controls the output level of the subwoofer. Adjust this to achieve a balanced sound with your main speakers.
- Auto/On/Off: De amplifier features an auto-sensing power mode. In 'Auto' mode, the amplifier will turn on when an audio signal is detected and enter standby after a period of inactivity. 'On' keeps the amplifier continuously active, and 'Off' powers it down.
- Statusindikator: An LED light indicates the operational status of the amplifier (e.g., power on, standby, protection mode).
5.2 Ind- og udgangsforbindelser
The rear panel provides the following connections:
- LFE-input: For connecting to the Low-Frequency Effects output of an AV receiver.
- Line In L/R: For connecting to stereo line-level outputs from an audio source.
- Line Out L/R: Provides a pass-through for the input signal to connect to other audio components.
- Subwoofer Power Output (Speaker Terminal): Connects directly to the passive 100IWSUB8 subwoofer(s).
6. Vedligeholdelse
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Focal subwoofer and ampLifier, følg disse vedligeholdelsesretningslinjer:
- Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the amplifier and subwoofer grille. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays.
- Støv: Støv jævnligt af amplifier's ventilation openings to prevent dust buildup, which can impede cooling.
- Forbindelser: Kontrollér regelmæssigt alle kabelforbindelser for at sikre, at de er fastgjorte og fri for korrosion.
- Miljø: Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity level. Avoid extreme temperatures or sudden changes.
7. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your Focal subwoofer system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Ingen lyd:
- Tjek om amplifier is powered on and the status indicator is active.
- Verify all audio input and speaker output connections are secure and correctly wired.
- Ensure the volume control on the amplifier is not set to minimum.
- Check the audio source for proper output.
- Forvrænget lyd:
- Reduce the volume level on the amplifier or your audio source.
- Check speaker wire connections for shorts or loose strands.
- Ensure the subwoofer is not overdriven.
- Summende eller summende støj:
- Sørg for, at alle komponenter er korrekt jordforbundet.
- Prøv at forbinde amplifier to a different power outlet.
- Tjek for interferens fra andre elektroniske enheder.
- AmpOverophedning af kølemiddel:
- Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation omkring amplivligere.
- Reduce the operating volume.
- Check if the speaker load is within the amplifier's specifications (minimum 4 ohms).
If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact Focal customer support or a qualified service technician.
