TERMINOLOGY AND CONTROLS
e STATUS INDICATOR – The LED found on the front panel will illuminate in blue
when the subwoofer is functioning. If the unit is in Auto mode and is not
receiving a signal, the light will remain off.
r SPEAKER LEVEL IN – The Speaker Level inputs are designed to be used on
receivers or amplifiers that do not incorporate any RCA type subwoofer
outputs. If your receiver is equipped with an RCA type subwoofer output,
these speaker level inputs should not be utilized.
t LINE IN/SUB IN – These inputs are an RCA type LFE/stereo/mono input. If you
are connecting your subwoofer to a pre-amp/processor with a LFE or
Subwoofer pre-amp output, connect a single RCA cable to the LFE/Left input.
u CROSSOVER MODE – This switch allows for the selection of either crossover
Activated or Crossover Bypassed. (Please see the connections section for
suggestions on which mode is appropriate for your installation.)
i LOW-PASS FILTER – This control allows for the adjustment of the low-pass
filter. Adjustments can infinitely be made from 40Hz to 120Hz. This will
determine the highest frequency that the subwoofer will reproduce.
o PHASE – This switch allows for the adjustment of the phase of the subwoofer,
in relation to the speakers used in your system, from -180 to +180 degrees.
p VOLUME LEVEL – This knob can be adjusted to control the level of output
from your subwoofer. The level chosen should allow the subwoofer to blend
its output with that of the rest of your audio system.
a POWER MODE – This switch can be set to either On, Off or Auto. If the switch
is in the Off position, the subwoofer will not power up. If the switch is in the
On position, it will constantly remain on. If the switch is set to the Auto
position, when a signal is present the subwoofer will turn on and will
automatically turn off several minutes after a signal is no longer present.
s POWER CORD CONNECTOR – Connect the power cord from your AC outlet
to this input. Connecting your subwoofer to a surge protector or line
conditioner is always recommended. Do not connect the power cord to the
switched or unswitched outlet of your receiver as this could damage your
subwoofer and receiver.
CONNECTING YOUR ENERGY SUBWOOFER
CAUTION: All power should be turned off to your system before any
connections are made. Careful attention should be taken to ensure that all
electronic components are not connected to an AC source. Not doing so
could result in potential damage to the system.
METHOD 1 – RCA – SUB IN FOR HOME THEATER OR LFE
APPLICATIONS
1 On the rear of the receiver/pre-amp there should be a single RCA type jack
marked “Subwoofer/Pre-Amp Out”. Connect a single RCA cable from that
jack to the
t LINE IN/SUB IN on the rear of the subwoofer. A standard male
to male RCA cable is needed.
2 After connecting the single
t LINE IN/SUB IN connection, plug your ENERGY
subwoofer into an AC outlet. Do not use the AC outlet on the rear of your
receiver. After plugging in the unit, switch the Main Power to On.
3 Select either the Crossover Mode Active or Bypass
u. The Crossover Mode
Active switch position should be used when connecting your ENERGY
subwoofer to a receiver without bass management or when you wish to
manually control the crossover and volume settings (such as in a music
system). The Crossover Bypass switch position should be used when
connecting to a receiver with bass management (such as in a digital surround
sound movie system). This connection defeats the crossover feature on the
ENERGY subwoofer, allowing this control to be handled by the receiver.
Adjusting the front panel Volume Control
p will still be required.
