- Plasman: Pozisyon an amplifier in a well-ventilated area, preferably in an equipment rack or on a stable surface.
- Koneksyon oratè: Connect the speaker wire(s) from the subwoofer(s) to the 'SPEAKER OUTPUT' terminals on the rear of the amplifier. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The amplifier supports a minimum load of 4 ohms.
- Antre odyo: Connect your audio source (e.g., AV receiver's LFE output, or Line In L/R) to the 'INPUT' section on the amppanèl dèyè lifè a.
- Koneksyon pouvwa: Connect the detachable IEC power cord to the amplifier and then to a suitable wall outlet.
5. Operasyon Enstriksyon
5.1 AmpKontwòl lifier
The front panel of the 100 IWSUB8 Amplifier features several controls for fine-tuning the subwoofer's performance:
- Kwazman: Adjusts the upper frequency limit of the subwoofer. This should be set to blend smoothly with your main speakers. The range is typically 40Hz to 160Hz.
- Faz: Allows adjustment of the subwoofer's phase (0° or 180°) to ensure it is in phase with your main speakers, preventing cancellation at the crossover frequency.
- Volim: Controls the output level of the subwoofer. Adjust this to achieve a balanced sound with your main speakers.
- Auto/On/Off: La amplifier features an auto-sensing power mode. In 'Auto' mode, the amplifier will turn on when an audio signal is detected and enter standby after a period of inactivity. 'On' keeps the amplifier continuously active, and 'Off' powers it down.
- Endikatè estati: An LED light indicates the operational status of the amplifier (e.g., power on, standby, protection mode).
5.2 Koneksyon Antre ak Sòti
The rear panel provides the following connections:
- Antre LFE: For connecting to the Low-Frequency Effects output of an AV receiver.
- Line In L/R: For connecting to stereo line-level outputs from an audio source.
- Line Out L/R: Provides a pass-through for the input signal to connect to other audio components.
- Subwoofer Power Output (Speaker Terminal): Connects directly to the passive 100IWSUB8 subwoofer(s).
6. Antretyen
