6. Opsætning

6.1 Placering

Proper placement of the subwoofer is crucial for optimal sound performance. Consider the following:

• Gulvplacering: The P18SX is designed for floor placement. Ensure it is on a stable, level surface.
• Hjørneplacering: Placing the subwoofer in a corner can increase bass output, but may also lead to uneven frequency response. Experiment with placement to find the best balance.
• Proximity to Walls: Placing the subwoofer close to a wall can reinforce bass frequencies.
• Stangmontering: The bottom of the subwoofer includes a pole mount socket for integrating a satellite speaker above it (pole not included).

6.2 Tilslutning af lyd

1. Connect the main output of your mixer or audio interface to the INDGANG 1 or INDGANG 2 XLR connector on the subwoofer using a balanced XLR cable.
2. If connecting full-range PA speakers, connect the UDGANG 1 or UDGANG 2 XLR connector on the subwoofer to the input of your full-range speaker(s). The DSP will typically apply a crossover, sending low frequencies to the subwoofer and higher frequencies to the outputs.

6.3 Tænd/sluk

1. Ensure all audio connections are secure before connecting the power cable.
2. Connect the supplied power cable to the power inlet on the rear panel and then to a suitable AC power outlet.
3. Turn on the subwoofer using the power switch. It is recommended to turn on subwoofers last in your audio chain and turn them off first.

7. Betjening

The P18SX features a DSP control module for fine-tuning its performance.

7.1 DSP-forudindstillinger

The DSP offers various sound profiles optimized for different applications. Use the MASTER knob to navigate the menu and select a preset:

• Musik: Optimized for general music playback, providing a balanced bass response.
• Levende: Suitable for live sound reinforcement, often with a slightly more pronounced attack.
• Tale: Designed to minimize excessive bass for spoken word applications, improving clarity.
• (Other presets may be available; refer to the on-screen menu for specific options.)

7.2 Niveaujustering

The MASTER knob also controls the overall output level of the subwoofer. Rotate the knob to increase or decrease the volume. Monitor the display for the current level setting (e.g., 'LEVEL 00dB').

7.3 Fasekontrol

Phase adjustment helps to align the subwoofer's output with your main speakers, preventing cancellation or reinforcement issues at the crossover frequency. Access the phase setting through the DSP menu and select between 0° (normal) and 180° (reversed) phase. Experiment with both settings to determine which provides the most coherent and impactful bass response in your listening environment.

7.4 Location Settings

The DSP may include settings to optimize performance based on the subwoofer's physical location (e.g., 'Corner', 'Wall', 'Free Field'). Select the setting that best matches your setup to improve acoustic coupling and overall sound quality.

8. Vedligeholdelse

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din subwoofers lange levetid og optimale ydeevne.

• Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til at rengøre enhedens yderside. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler, voks eller opløsningsmidler.
• Ventilation: Hold ventilationsåbningerne fri for støv og snavs.
• Opbevaring: When not in use for extended periods, store the subwoofer in a dry, dust-free environment.
