4.1 Plasman

The compact design of the SUB6 allows for flexible placement. Consider the following guidelines:

• Toupre Oratè Prensipal yo: Placing the subwoofer near your main speakers can help create a more cohesive soundstage.
• Room Corners: Corners often provide the most bass output, but can sometimes lead to boomy or uneven bass. Experiment with distance from the corner.
• Pozisyon pou koute: The "subwoofer crawl" method can help find the best placement. Place the subwoofer at your primary listening position, then crawl around the room to find where the bass sounds best. Place the subwoofer in that spot.
• Under Desks or Furniture: Its small size makes it ideal for discreet placement in smaller rooms or under furniture.

4.2 Koneksyon

The SUB6 connects to your audio system via RCA cables.

1. Pouvwa Off: Ensure your audio receiver/amplifier and the SUB6 are powered off before making any connections.
2. Antre RCA: Connect an RCA cable from the "SUB OUT" or "LFE OUT" port on your receiver/amplifier to the "SUB IN" (L or R) port on the SUB6. If your receiver has a single LFE output, you can use either the L or R input on the SUB6. For stereo RCA outputs, connect both L and R inputs.
3. Koneksyon pouvwa: Connect the provided power cord to the AC input on the SUB6 and then to a wall outlet.

4.3 Ajisteman Inisyal yo

After connecting, you will need to adjust the subwoofer's settings to blend it seamlessly with your main speakers.

• Level (Volume): Start with the 'LEVEL' knob set to its minimum position.
• Frekans kwazman: Set the 'CROSSOVER FREQUENCY' knob to match the low-frequency extension of your main speakers. A common starting point is 80 Hz. If your main speakers are small, you might set it higher (e.g., 100-120 Hz). If they are larger, you might set it lower (e.g., 60 Hz). If your receiver has an LFE output and manages the crossover, set the SUB6 crossover to its maximum (175 Hz).
• Chanjman Faz: Set the 'PHASE' switch to 0°. You may experiment with 180° later to see which setting provides more impactful and coherent bass at your listening position.
• Auto-Off Switch: Set the 'AUTO-OFF' switch to 'ON' for automatic power management, or 'OFF' for continuous power.

5. Operating Your SUB6 Subwoofer

5.1 Power On/Off

Once connected, power on your receiver/amplifier first, then the SUB6. If the 'AUTO-OFF' switch is set to 'ON', the subwoofer will automatically enter standby mode after approximately 15 minutes of no audio signal and will power on when a signal is detected. If set to 'OFF', the subwoofer will remain on continuously.

5.2 Fine-Tuning the Sound

Play some familiar music or movie scenes with strong bass content and adjust the following:

• Nivo: Slowly increase the 'LEVEL' knob until the subwoofer's bass output blends smoothly with your main speakers. The subwoofer should not overpower the main speakers but rather extend their low-frequency response.
• Frekans kwazman: Adjust the 'CROSSOVER FREQUENCY' knob up or down. The goal is to find a setting where the bass transitions seamlessly from your main speakers to the subwoofer, without any noticeable gaps or overlaps in frequency.
• Chanjman Faz: Toggle the 'PHASE' switch between 0° and 180°. Listen for the setting that provides the most impactful and coherent bass at your listening position. This adjustment helps ensure the subwoofer's sound waves are in sync with your main speakers.

6. Antretyen
