FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the Fathom IWS magnetically shielded?
Fathom IWS subwoofers are not magnetically shielded. To avoid magnetic
distortion with certain television types, place the Fathom IWS at least 3-4 feet (1
- 1.5m) from your screen.
Will my electric bill be high if I leave the Fathom IWS in “Auto” mode?
When in “Auto” mode, the Fathom IWS amplier is only powered up when
a signicant signal is detected on the inputs. When powered down, only
“housekeeping” circuits remain on, which draw negligible amounts of power
from the wall (less than 10 watts).
Should I unplug my subwoofer during a thunderstorm or extended absence?
YES. You should unplug your Fathom IWS during (or before) thunderstorms.
is will prevent any possible damage from voltage spikes due to lightning. In
these conditions, it’s a good idea to unplug all of your audio / video components.
If you are going to be away from home for several days, it is also a good idea to
unplug your home theater components to prevent damage from unexpected
storms or power line conditions.
