4.3 Subwoofer Components Diagram
Understanding the components of your subwoofer can aid in installation and troubleshooting.
Billedbeskrivelse: A detailed diagram illustrating the various components of the Focal SUB10DUAL subwoofer, including the butyl surround, steel chassis, polypropylene cone, spider decompression, and push terminals. Each component is labeled with its function, such as 'Superior resistance' for the butyl surround and 'Rigid and compact' for the steel chassis.
5. Wiring Configurations
The Focal SUB10DUAL features a dual 4-ohm voice coil, offering flexibility in wiring to match your amplifier's impedance requirements. Always ensure the amplifier is stable at the chosen impedance.
5.1 Parallel Wiring (2 Ohms)
Connecting the two 4-ohm voice coils in parallel will result in a 2-ohm load. This configuration is often used to maximize power output from amplifiers that are stable at 2 ohms, leading to higher Sound Pressure Level (SPL).
- Connect the positive terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the positive terminal of Voice Coil 2.
- Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the negative terminal of Voice Coil 2.
- Connect the combined positive terminals to the amplifiers positive output.
- Connect the combined negative terminals to the amplifierens negative output.
5.2 Series Wiring (8 Ohms)
Connecting the two 4-ohm voice coils in series will result in an 8-ohm load. This configuration is suitable for amplifiers that require a higher impedance load or when multiple subwoofers are used in a system.
- Tilslut den positive terminal på stemmespole 1 til amplifiers positive output.
- Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the positive terminal of Voice Coil 2.
- Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 2 to the amplifierens negative output.
Vigtig: Always verify the final impedance with a multimeter before connecting to an amplifier. Incorrect impedance can damage your amplifier eller subwoofer.
6. Betjeningsvejledning
6.1 Initial Use and Break-in
Like all new speakers, your subwoofer requires a break-in period to achieve optimal performance. During the first few hours of use (approximately 10-20 hours), operate the subwoofer at moderate volume levels. This allows the suspension components to loosen and settle, improving bass response and overall sound quality.
6.2 Amplifier indstillinger
Korrekt indstilling af din amplifier's gain, crossover, and phase controls is essential for integrating the subwoofer seamlessly with your main speakers. Consult your amplifier's manual for detailed instructions. Start with low gain settings and gradually increase until the desired bass level is achieved without distortion.
7. Vedligeholdelse
Your Focal SUB10DUAL subwoofer requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.
- Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til forsigtigt at tørre keglen og omgivelserne af. Undgå at bruge skrappe kemikalier eller slibende rengøringsmidler.
- Inspektion: Periodically inspect the wiring connections for tightness and corrosion. Check the cone and surround for any signs of damage or wear.
- Miljø: Beskyt subwooferen mod ekstreme temperaturer, direkte sollys og fugt.
8. Fejlfinding
Hvis du oplever problemer med din subwoofer, kan du se følgende almindelige problemer og løsninger:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Ingen lyd | Ingen strøm til amplifier; incorrect wiring; amplifier in protect mode; source unit issue. | Check amplifier power and ground connections. Verify all wiring connections to the subwoofer and amplifier. Check amplifier fuses. Ensure source unit is sending an audio signal. |
| Forvrænget lyd | Gain set too high; incorrect crossover settings; damaged voice coil; enclosure issues. | Reducere amplifier gain. Adjust crossover frequency. Inspect subwoofer cone and surround for damage. Ensure enclosure is sealed and free of air leaks (if applicable). |
| Svag bas | Incorrect phase setting; insufficient power; improper enclosure volume. | Tilpasse amplifier phase control (0 or 180 degrees). Ensure amplifier provides adequate power for the subwoofer. Verify enclosure volume matches recommendations. |
| Overophedning af subwoofer | Underdrevet amplifier; impedance mismatch; prolonged high volume use. | Sikre amplifier power matches subwoofer RMS rating. Verify correct impedance wiring. Reduce listening volume. Ensure adequate ventilation. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact your authorized Focal dealer or a qualified service technician.
