Placement
There should be a mains outlet within easy reach.
Although the unit may be placed almost anywhere in the room, even behind the sofa or the TV set, we recommend that it be
placed in front of the listener and as central to the listening position as possible. The subwoofer should not be operated within
450mm of a television set as the drive unit magnet may distort the picture.

450mm of a television set as the drive unit magnet may distort the picture.
We suggest you position the subwoofer about 20cm (8 inches) from the wall. A position close to the wall will enhance the bass;
placing it across a room corner will increase the bass further, possibly at the expense of clarity. Experiment with a variety of
locations and sources before making a final decision.

The bass port is mounted under the subwoofer firing downward and moves a lot of air at high volume, so make sure the floor is

Your system will perform best if there is a clear line of sight between the subwoofer and the listening position.
NOTE: When running signal cables to the subwoofer, keep them clear of obstructions. Do not run a long signal cable close to mains

Pre Out - Main In Connections
Speaker Level Connections
Your subwoofer has been designed for optimum
performance with a Digital processor. If your AV processor
has a line level or LFE subwoofer output you should use this
connection. You will need to purchase a single screened
RCA phono lead from your dealer. Connect this lead to the
Left line input of the Subwoofer as shown below

has a line level or LFE subwoofer output you should use this
connection. You will need to purchase a single screened
RCA phono lead from your dealer. Connect this lead to the
Left line input of the Subwoofer as shown below
Alternatively, you may use a split mono lead from the
processor to both inputs of the subwoofer. In this case the
input level at the subwoofer will be slightly higher.

separated, connect the sub-woofer as shown. You will
need two screened RCA ‘Y’ adaptors and two single RCA

Remove the Pre-Main links on your amplifier. Connect the
RCA ‘Y’ adaptors and cables as shown. Connect one leg of
the ‘Y’ adaptor to the Left Channel Pre Out socket on the
amplifier and the other leg to the Left Channel Main In
socket. Connect the remaining plug on this combination to
the Left Channel Line Level Input on the sub-woofer. Repeat
this for the Right Channel.

The high level Speaker connections should be used only if
your amplifier does not have a line level subwoofer output.
In this connection the subwoofer is fed together with the
Front loudspeakers. For this you will need two extra twin
core cables.
