Unpacking & Installation
WARNING: The Radius 720 is very heavy, and we recommend this being a two
person lift only.
Remove the clear plastic, bass driver transit protection disk(s). It is important to
position the subwoofer initially to have easy access to the control panel. Make sure
all your cables will reach easily and leave the Radius 360/720 unplugged from the
mains electricity supply, until the installation and initial set-up procedure is
complete.
The optimal control settings will ultimately depend entirely on your system
configuration. For initial trials set the controls as follows:
Volume - Should be set to the minimum position.
Frequency - Should be set to approximately 100 Hz.
Phase - Should be set initial to 0 degrees.
Mode (R360 only) - If you are setting your system up as two channel, set the
mode switch in “music” mode. If you are installing a predominately home cinema
system it may be more effective to set mode switch to “movies” position.
Crossover/LFE (R720 only) –If your subwoofer is being used with a stereo
integrated/pre/power amplifier, this should be set to ‘crossover’. If your subwoofer
is being used with an AV amp/receiver with a dedicated subwoofer output, this
should be set to ‘LFE.’.
WARNING: Do not adjust the main voltage selector, as this is factory pre-set.
Position/Location
Your Radius 360/720 Subwoofer is magnetically shielded and can be located in
close proximity to a T.V. No matter where you place your Radius 360/720, you
must allow sufficient spacing for ventilation of the rear panel. We recommend this
distance to be not less than 100mm (4”).
Subwoofer Connections
There are a number of ways to connect your subwoofer into your system. One
uses loudspeaker cables; the other uses interconnect cables with RCA phono
plugs. Looking at the rear panel of your subwoofer you will see two sets of speaker
terminals, one labelled ‘amplifier input’, the other ‘speaker output’, and RCA phono
sockets labelled ‘input’ (right and left).
Please refer to the section; ‘System Wiring Configuration’ on page 14.
If you have a Radius 720, and wish to connect more than one subwoofer, you can
do this by using the RCA phono output connectors on the amplifier to ‘daisy chain’
the subwoofers together.
