! ! Placement Experimentation is the key to finding the best location for the SubOne i in your listening environment. When possible, place the subwoofer in the same horizontal plane and along the same wall as the main speakes. Low frequencies produce long wavelengths and thus interact with room boundaries significantly . Placing the sub- woofer nea[...]

Methods #2 and #4). The downside is that sending the speakers a full-range signal can make it difficult to inte- grate them with the subwoofer , as their combined low frequency output can cause irregularities (peaks and dips) in the room’s low frequency response. In this case, the subwoofer’s low pass setting should be quite low and used only t[...]

Use of the LFE Input and LFE gain Control ( LFE = Low Frequency Effects) If you receiver/processor has a "subwoofer out" or "LFE out" jack, you can connect that jack to the LFE Input on the back of the SubOne i Controller . Y ou can configure your system as follows: (a) This is the recommended method as it the most likely to lea[...]

about the same frequency you have set the High Pass Filter . For example, if the High Pass Filter sends only signals above 75Hz to your main speakers, begin with the Low Pass Filter set at 75Hz. See the “Fine T uning” section for further adjustment guidelines. If you are using Connection Method #2 or #4, your main speakers are reproducing the e[...]

This method allows your main speakers to receive a high-pass filtered signal (not full range), and the subwoofer to be utilized for low- to mid-bass reproduction. The full-range line-level signal coming from the receiver ’ s “Pre-Out” passes through the SubOne i Co ntroller’s selectable high-pass filter , which removes the low frequencies f[...]

This method of connection allows your main speakers to receive the full-range audio signal (no high-pass filtering), and the subwoofer to be utilized for low bass extension only . 1) Y our L & R speakers are connected directly from your amplifier / receiver . 2a) If you have a receiver with “Pre-Out” (or “Line Out”) jacks but no “Main[...]

This method of connection is recommended if you have a receiver with no line level preamplifier output of any sort and you want your L & R speakers to receive a high-pass filtered signal. The SubOne i Controller may be connected to the system at speaker level between the receiver and the speakers. The SubOne i Controller ’ s speaker-level out[...]

This method of connection is recommended when you have a receiver with no line level preamplifier output of any sort and you want to run your speakers full range (no high-pass filtering). If your receiver features two sets of speaker output terminals (“Speaker A” and “Speaker B”), you may use “Speaker B” to connect the SubOne i Controll[...]

! ! Fine T uning the Subwoofer The frequency chart below lists some terms commonly used to describe different bands of the frequency spec- trum. The key to good subwoofer / speaker integration is repeated listening, followed by small re-adjustments of the subwoofer controls. The most important bass tuning functions you will control are the LOW P AS[...]

! ! Operation When the SubOne i is turned on, there will be an audible “pop.” Do not be alarmed! This is inherent to the amplifier design and will not damage the subwoofer or your audio system. We do recommend, however , that the SubOne i’s power is left “on” at all times, allowing its built-in Standby Mode feature to disable the subwoofe[...]
