1.  Bass Level
This control lets you match the output 
level of the subwoofer to the level 
of your sat el lite/main speak ers. The 
subwoofer output will increase as this 
control is rotated clockwise. When you 
have just installed your system, turn 
this down fi rst before turning on your 
sub woof er. This will prevent any loud 
surprises.
2.  Crossover Frequency
This controls the high frequency cutoff 
point. With the control set to the 100 
Hz mark, the sub woof er will reproduce 
fre quen cies up to 100 Hz. If the control 
is set fully clockwise, the crossover is 
bypassed and the subwoofer will re-
 pro duce a wide frequency range. With 
the control fully counter-clock wise the 
sub woof er re pro duc es a narrow range, 
up to 30 Hz.
Rotate the control until the bass sounds 
natural. If the mid-bass sounds natural 
but you want more low bass, turn the 
control down a little, then turn the Bass 
Level control up by about the same 
amount. This increases the low-bass 
output while leaving the mid-bass 
output the same.
3.  Phase Control
This control changes the relative phase 
of the sub woof er with respect to your 
other speakers. Use this control to help 
blend the sub woof er with the rest of 
your sys tem. This is accomplished by 
ad just ing the control in small in cre -
ments as you listen for the most bass 
at your lis ten ing position. As a fi nal trim, 
readjust the Crossover Frequency and 
Bass Level controls after the phase has 
been set.
4.  Outputs
Line level high-pass output signals are 
available at these jacks. These outputs 
are active whenever a signal is hooked 
up to the inputs of the sub woof er. This 
crossover is a passive network with a 
fi xed crossover frequency of 70 Hz and 
a 6 dB per octave slope.
We rec om mend using this high-pass 
function with main/satellite speak ers 
that are small and not designed to 
reproduce low fre quen cies. If your main 
speakers are capable of op er at ing full 
range, then you will not need to use the 
high-pass function.
