• Ingresso di livello di linea (RCA): Connect your receiver's LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) output or stereo pre-out to the subwoofer's LFE or Line Level inputs.
• Ingresso livello altoparlante: For receivers without LFE or line-level outputs, connect speaker wires from your amplifier to the subwoofer's speaker level inputs.
• Collegamento elettrico: Connect the provided power cable to the subwoofer and a suitable wall outlet.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

Controlli:

The SB-1000 features controls on its rear panel for fine-tuning performance:

• Volume: Regola il livello di uscita complessivo del subwoofer. Inizia con un'impostazione moderata e regolala in modo che si amalgami con gli altoparlanti principali.
• Filtro passa basso: Controls the upper frequency limit of the subwoofer. Set this to match the low-frequency capabilities of your main speakers, typically between 80Hz and 120Hz. If using a receiver with LFE output, set the subwoofer's low pass filter to LFE.
• Fase: Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer's output relative to your main speakers. Experiment with 0° and 180° to find the setting that provides the most coherent and impactful bass.

SVS Smartphone App:

For advanced control and convenience, download the SVS subwoofer DSP smartphone app. This app allows you to control volume, manage custom presets, and fine-tune various performance parameters from your listening position via Bluetooth connectivity.
