• ТОМУ: This knob adjusts the overall output level of the subwoofer. Range from -30dB to +6dB.
• НІЗКІ ПЕРАХОД: This knob sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer, allowing you to blend it seamlessly with your main speakers. Adjustable from 50Hz to 130Hz.
• ФАЗА: This switch (0°/180°) allows you to adjust the phase of the subwoofer's output relative to your main speakers. This helps to optimize bass response and avoid cancellation.
• Лінейны ўваход (RCA): Stereo RCA inputs (Right/Left) for connecting to the line-level output of your audio source (e.g., receiver, pre-ampліфцёр).
• Лінейны выхад (RCA): Stereo RCA outputs (Right/Left) for passing the audio signal to other components.
• IN (XLR/TRS): Balanced XLR and 6.3mm TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) inputs for professional audio connections. Available for both Left and Right channels.
• OUT (XLR/TRS): Balanced XLR and 6.3mm TRS outputs for passing the audio signal to other professional audio equipment. Available for both Left and Right channels.
• ЗЕМЛЯ: This switch helps to eliminate hum or buzz caused by ground loops in your audio system.
• Выключальнік сілкавання: Уключае або выключае сабвуфер.
• AC IN: Connector for the detachable power cord. Ensure the correct voltage (230 В) пастаўляецца.

Настройка

1. Размяшчэнне: Position the subwoofer in your listening area. Experiment with different locations to find the best bass response. Corner placement often enhances bass, but can also lead to boominess.
2. Падключэнне сілкавання: Ensure the POWER switch is in the OFF position. Connect the supplied power cord to the AC IN socket on the subwoofer's rear panel and then to a suitable wall outlet.
3. Аўдыё злучэнне:
   • Злучэнне RCA: Connect RCA cables from the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) or Subwoofer output of your receiver/pre-amplifier to the LINE IN (Left or Right, or both for stereo) on the SUB 2. If your source has stereo line outputs, connect both Left and Right to the corresponding LINE IN on the SUB 2.
   • XLR/TRS Connection: For professional setups, connect balanced XLR or 6.3mm TRS cables from your audio mixer or processor's outputs to the IN (Left/Right) on the SUB 2.
4. Пачатковыя налады:
   • Set the VOLUME knob to its minimum position (-30dB).
   • Set the LOW PASS knob to a starting point, typically around 80Hz.
   • Set the PHASE switch to 0°.

Аперацыйная

1. Уключэнне: Turn on your main audio system components first, then switch the POWER button on the SUB 2 to the ON position.
2. Рэгуляванне гучнасці: Play some audio with significant bass content. Slowly increase the VOLUME knob on the SUB 2 until the bass output blends well with your main speakers. Avoid setting the volume too high, which can lead to distortion.
3. Low Pass Filter Adjustment: Adjust the LOW PASS knob to fine-tune the crossover frequency. The goal is to have a smooth transition between the subwoofer and your main speakers. If your main speakers are small, a higher crossover frequency (e.g., 100-120Hz) might be appropriate. For larger speakers, a lower frequency (e.g., 60-80Hz) may be better.
4. Рэгуляванне фазы: Experiment with the PHASE switch (0° or 180°). Listen for the setting that provides the most impactful and coherent bass response at your listening position. This often involves trying both settings and choosing the one that sounds louder or more defined.
5. Наземны ліфт: If you experience a persistent hum or buzz, try flipping the GROUND LIFT switch. This can help break ground loops that cause unwanted noise.
6. Выключэнне: When finished, switch the POWER button on the SUB 2 to the OFF position, then turn off your main audio system components.
