high level inputs: to derive signal from the loudspeaker outputs of an amplifier using
speaker cables for the connection, in cases where the preferred chinch input is not
feasible.
ATTENTION: Please ensure the correct polarity (consistency of plus and minus) when
connecting to the high level inputs!
5
chinch or RCA phono inputs: to derive signal from preamplifier or subwoofer
outputs. The preferred method for connection of SUBSON.
ATTENTION: It does not matter, if you put the chinch cable into the left or right input
(normally you only have one cable in your home theater, coming from the subwoofer
channel).
6 adjustable crossover frequency control: crossover point for subwoofer is tuned
according to the bass characteristic of your main loudspeakers and room acoustics.

volume controller: to adjust overall output of SUBSON
8
phase switch: critical adjustment to the phase characteristic of SUBSON in relation
to the bass region of the main, as well as center and surround, loudspeakers;
essentially aligns the timing of all of their output signals. Choose the switch position
that results in more bass by testing with several bass-heavy music tracks.

HOW TO PREPARE SUBSON FOR OPTIMAL SOUND
PERFORMANCE:
1. To avoid fingerprints on the aluminium, please put on the enclosed gloves when
positioning SUBSON.
2. Connect SUBSON to your signal source by using the chinch or RCA phono cables.
Alternatively, the SPEAKER LEVEL IN inputs can be used for signal connection. Using
speaker wire, simply connect to the subwoofer from the main speaker output terminals
of the main system amplifier.
3. Connect SUBSON to AC power outlet.
4. Turn the POWER switch on.
ATTENTION:
Do not be concerned if the LED does not glow immediately. In the recommended AUTO
position, the LED only glows when a music signal is detected, at that time the
subwoofer automatically turns on.
5. For best sound performance, it is very important to adjust SUBSON using the
following steps. It may be helpful to have one person assist by adjusting the controls,
while another remains in the listening position to guide the adjustments being made.
