Model 162 PBM High Performance Subwoofer
8
Note: Do not place the unit near a heater or forced air outlet, as this may impair the ability of
the internal amplifier to dissipate heat. It may also harm the finish.
When you’re setting things up for the first time, you will need to adjust the bass level
control to keep the bass volume the same for various subwoofer positions. The only way
that you can make sure that you’re not being impressed by more bass, instead of
smoother bass, is to keep the volume the same for all subwoofer positions.
Begin with the low pass control set to 80, adjusting a little at a time to give the
smoothest transition between the subwoofer and the main speakers as, for example, a
bass guitar or cello is played up and down the scale. Try both positions of the phase
invert switch, as unusual room acoustics may be present at the crossover frequency.
Again, some experimentation will be needed to find the best setting.
Once the controls have been adjusted so that the sound is balanced between the
subwoofer and the main speakers, you can leave them alone. Minor differences in the
source material can be compensated for with the volume and tone controls on your
audio or audio/video electronic components.
Fine Tuning
Atlantic Technology subwoofers integrate easily with virtually all other brands of
loudspeaker. The adjustable low pass filter and versatile hookup options make it a snap.
With proper placement in your room, this subwoofer will supply a solid foundation to
any audio or A/V system.
For best results, we suggest that you “tweak” the controls and cabinet position slightly
over a period of time (1-2 weeks), as you become accustomed to the sound, and have
the opportunity to hear a variety of music and/or movies. Remember that a small
adjustment may have a large overall effect.
