Do I really need a subwoofer?
It depends on your tastes. For flat panel loudspeakers with a limited low frequency extension, you probably need
a subwoofer. Especially if you like organ music, synthesizers and modern party music. Larger panels will extend
towards 45Hertz. These will perfectly suit most middle of the road repertoire without need for a subwoofer.
In a 5.1 or 7.1 home theatre system, a subwoofer is an undeniable part of the experience. When you can’t live
without the dynamic power, the physical impact and the low frequency extension a decent movie can provide,
please run for a subwoofer. But, for different reasons, you can do without sub. The only thing you have to do, is to
reconfigure the av receiver’s bass management to route the lower frequencies to the front loudspeakers.
Should I unplug my subwoofer during lightning?
Yes, but try to unplug the sub and the rest of your equipment before the lightning is straight above your house.
Unplug the equipment physically from the AC-line. Switching it off or using the stand-by mode does not protect at
all against lightning.
Do I need a separate amplifier for my subwoofer?
Unless you buy ‘passive’ subwoofers: NO. Most subwoofers come with an inbuilt amplifier. Those ‘active’ subwoofers
only need a low level (rca) of high-level connection with existing amplifiers.
Do I need separate subwoofers for music and home theatre?
Basically, a really good subwoofer can provide optimal results for both applications. In daily live, most people feel
the need for a larger sub in their home theatre, because of the visceral impact, that is inherent and part of the fun of
watching movies. Apart from this, listening to music needs a different balance between the subwoofer and the rest
of the system, than watching and listening to movies. Most av-processors will provide you with the opportunity to
simply make small adjustments, using the remote control.
Can I clean my Final subwoofer?
Yes, but first disconnect the AC-line. Clean only with a damp cloth. Never use cleansers or chemicals. Never leave a
wet cloth on the surface of the cabinet.
