Setting the Aperion Audio Intimus S-10 & S-12 Subwoofer
In addition to the high and low-level speaker connections on the rear of your
subwoofer, you will see three round knobs and two switches. The first knob,
labeled “phase” allows you to adjust the polarity of your subwoofer. If the
distance from the sub to the listener is significantly different than the front
and center speakers (>3’), try reversing the phase to see if it improves the
bass response. The second knob, “crossover frequency,” sets the crossover
frequency. As a starting point, set the receiver crossover at 80Hz and the
subwoofer crossover between 80Hz-120Hz.
The power switch has three settings - on, off and auto. When the switch is
set in the “auto” setting, it will
automatically turn the sub on when
a signal is present. You’ll know the
subwoofer is on because the power
lamp will be illuminated red (when
a signal is present it turns green).
Your subwoofer also has a switchable
voltage control. Please be sure to
select 115V for use in the USA. The
illustration to the right shows a
recommended starting point for
settings. You will want to adjust
these based on personal preference
and room dynamics.
