Unpacking & Installation
Lift out the subwoofer unit from the packaging, care must be taken not to depress
the drive unit cones as this could result in permanent damage. Fix the four feet to
the underside with the screws provided. The subwoofer unit should be positioned
in the most suitable position, preferably not in the corner of a room as this may
cause a pronounced boom. It is important to position the subwoofer initially to have
easy access to the control panel.
After you have chosen your desired connection method it is important to note that
all your cables will reach easily. Leave the subwoofer unplugged until the
installation and initial set-up procedure is complete.
The optimal control settings will depend entirely on your system configuration.
For initial trials set the controls as follows:
Gain should be set to the minimum position.
Frequency should be set to approximately 60 Hz, if you have large main speakers.
If you have small main speakers or satellites, this should be set to
approximately 100Hz.
Phase should be set to initial 0 degrees.
Mode If you prefer an audio quality performance the mode switch should be
left in audio. If you are installing a predominately home cinema
system it may be more effective to set mode switch to video position.
Note: This Subwoofer unit is fitted with a switchable voltage selector, which
should be factory set. If you are in any doubt as to your mains supply voltage spec-
ification you must consult the dealer from where you purchased the product. Under
no circumstances should the voltage selector be altered.
See: Mains voltage chart under specifications on page 16.
Note: If the Subwoofer is not likely to be used for long periods, it is wise to switch
off at the mains. This is a recommended safe practice in order to reduce the risk of
electrical fire.

Mains Connection
Important
Check the voltage setting. Do not connect the appliance to an incorrect power
supply, as serious damage may occur. Do not connect the power supply until all
other connections have been made.
Position/Location
Your Monitor Audio Subwoofer should perform well in just about any room location.
In fact unless your ear is within a couple of feet of the subwoofer, the bass should
seem to radiate from your main speakers.
Your Monitor Audio Subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and therefore should
not be located too close to your television set, leave a distance of at least 2-3 feet.
Failure to do so will result in your television set’s tube becoming magnetised and
this will cause a distortion of the picture, together with a change of colour. Should
this occur, consult your Television service agent for advice.
No matter where you place your subwoofer, you must allow sufficient spacing for
ventilation of the rear panel. The rear panel has a heat sink mounted onto it and will
therefore generate heat, when in use.
Do Not
aPlace your subwoofer directly against a wall, leave at least a minimum of 15cm
(6 inches) and preferably 30cm (12 inches).
bPlace against a radiator, panel heater or forced air heating outlet
cPlace outdoors or in a humid environment
dPlug into an AC mains outlet until all your system wiring is completed.
