Настройка

Размяшчэнне

The placement of your subwoofer can significantly affect its performance. Experiment with different locations to find the best sound for your room. Generally, placing the subwoofer in a corner can enhance bass output, while placing it along a wall can provide a more balanced response. Ensure the subwoofer is placed on a stable surface and has adequate space for ventilation.

Параметры падлучэння

There are two primary ways to connect your PSW500-12 subwoofer to your audio system:

1. LFE/RCA Input (Recommended for Home Theater Receivers):

   If your home theater receiver has a dedicated "Subwoofer Out" or "LFE Out" RCA jack, use the supplied RCA cable to connect this output on your receiver to the "LFE IN" or "LINE IN" (L or R) jack on the subwoofer's rear panel. If using a single RCA cable, you can use the supplied "Y" adapter to split the signal for both L and R inputs on the subwoofer for potentially stronger signal, though connecting to just one (L or R) is often sufficient for LFE.
2. High Level Input (For Stereo Receivers/Amplifiers without Subwoofer Out):

   Калі ваш прыёмнік або amplifier does not have a dedicated subwoofer output, you can connect the subwoofer using the "High Level Input" terminals. Connect the speaker outputs from your receiver/amplifier to the "Hi Level Input" terminals on the subwoofer. Then, connect the "Hi Level Output" terminals on the subwoofer to your main speakers. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for all connections.

Падключэнне сілкавання

Once audio connections are made, plug the subwoofer's power cord into a standard US 110V grounded wall outlet. Ensure the power switch on the rear panel is in the "OFF" position before plugging it in.

Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

Першапачатковае ўключэнне

After all connections are secure, flip the power switch on the rear panel to the "ON" position. The subwoofer features an Auto ON/OFF function, which will activate the subwoofer when an audio signal is detected and put it into standby mode after a period of inactivity.

Рэгуляванне элементаў кіравання

• Gain Control: Start with the Gain control set to its minimum position. Play some audio and slowly increase the Gain until the subwoofer's output blends smoothly with your main speakers. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to distorted bass.
• Crossover Control (40-140 Hz): Гэты рэгулятар вызначае найвышэйшую частату, якую будзе прайграваць сабвуфер.
  • If your receiver has a built-in bass management system (e.g., LFE output), set the subwoofer's crossover control to its maximum (140 Hz) or bypass position, and manage the crossover frequency through your receiver's settings.
  • If your receiver does not have bass management, adjust the crossover control to match the low-frequency capabilities of your main speakers. For smaller bookshelf speakers, a higher crossover frequency (e.g., 80-100 Hz) might be appropriate. For larger floor-standing speakers, a lower frequency (e.g., 40-60 Hz) may be suitable. The goal is a seamless transition between the subwoofer and main speakers.
• Phase Control (0-180 degrees): This switch helps to ensure that the subwoofer's sound waves are in sync with your main speakers.
  • Слухайце музыку з моцнай, паслядоўнай басавай лініяй.

Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

Правільнае абслугоўванне забяспечвае даўгавечнасць і прадукцыйнасць вашага сабвуфера.

• Уборка: Disconnect the power cord before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cabinet. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
• Рашотка: The acoustically transparent grille is removable. If it becomes dusty, gently brush it or use a low-power vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
