5.2 Controls on the rear panel
a) Mode
This push button allows you to choose between
• Signal On: woofer starts operation as soon as a musical signal
arrives, and stops after 15 minutes without a signal.
• Continuous: the unit is permanently working.
We recommend the ”Signal on” position. It minimises power
consumption and makes handling very easy.
b) Phase Switch
With the Phase Switch you can alter the phase of the subwoofer relative to
the satellites. That means to change the polarity of the bass unit. Depending
on the distance between woofer and satellites, either 0° or 180° may be the
better position.
We recommend to try out what position sounds better within your system.
c) Satellite Filter
The satellites in a system can be driven full range or with a 85 Hz high pass as
recommended by Dolby® laboratories for use in surround set-ups.
Recommendation: If possible the main signal should go into the Subwoofer.
Connect your satellites to the Subwoofer output, either via XLR symmetrical or
RCA asymmetrical. In many cases, clarity and dynamic range of the speakers
can be improved if they do not reproduce very low frequencies since they do
not have to deliver big amplitudes.
d) Foot Switch
This input jack allows for switching the subwoofer on or off by footswitch.
When you have connected the Input and Output of the subwoofer with the
same type of connectors (either both XLR or both RCA) the footswitch will
also switch off the Satellite Filter, enabling the satellite speakers to play full
range.
