4.3 Subwoofer Components Diagram
Understanding the components of your subwoofer can aid in installation and troubleshooting.
Descrizione dell'immagine: A detailed diagram illustrating the various components of the Focal SUB10DUAL subwoofer, including the butyl surround, steel chassis, polypropylene cone, spider decompression, and push terminals. Each component is labeled with its function, such as 'Superior resistance' for the butyl surround and 'Rigid and compact' for the steel chassis.
5. Configurazioni di cablaggio
The Focal SUB10DUAL features a dual 4-ohm voice coil, offering flexibility in wiring to match your amplifier's impedance requirements. Always ensure the amplificatore è stabile all'impedenza scelta.
5.1 Parallel Wiring (2 Ohms)
Connecting the two 4-ohm voice coils in parallel will result in a 2-ohm load. This configuration is often used to maximize power output from amplifiers that are stable at 2 ohms, leading to higher Sound Pressure Level (SPL).
- Connect the positive terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the positive terminal of Voice Coil 2.
- Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the negative terminal of Voice Coil 2.
- Connect the combined positive terminals to the amplifier's positive output.
- Connect the combined negative terminals to the ampoutput negativo del lificatore.
5.2 Series Wiring (8 Ohms)
Connecting the two 4-ohm voice coils in series will result in an 8-ohm load. This configuration is suitable for amplifiers that require a higher impedance load or when multiple subwoofers are used in a system.
- Collegare il terminale positivo della bobina mobile 1 al amplifier's positive output.
- Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the positive terminal of Voice Coil 2.
- Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 2 to the ampoutput negativo del lificatore.
Importante: Always verify the final impedance with a multimeter before connecting to an amplifier. Incorrect impedance can damage your amplifier o subwoofer.
6. Istruzioni per l'uso
6.1 Initial Use and Break-in
Like all new speakers, your subwoofer requires a break-in period to achieve optimal performance. During the first few hours of use (approximately 10-20 hours), operate the subwoofer at moderate volume levels. This allows the suspension components to loosen and settle, improving bass response and overall sound quality.
6.2 AmpImpostazioni del lificatore
Impostare correttamente il tuo amplifier's gain, crossover, and phase controls is essential for integrating the subwoofer seamlessly with your main speakers. Consult your amplifier's manual for detailed instructions. Start with low gain settings and gradually increase until the desired bass level is achieved without distortion.
7. Manutenzione
Your Focal SUB10DUAL subwoofer requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.
- Pulizia: Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per pulire delicatamente il cono e la cornice. Evitare l'uso di prodotti chimici aggressivi o detergenti abrasivi.
- Ispezione: Periodically inspect the wiring connections for tightness and corrosion. Check the cone and surround for any signs of damage or wear.
- Ambiente: Proteggere il subwoofer da temperature estreme, luce solare diretta e umidità.
8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
Se riscontri problemi con il subwoofer, fai riferimento ai seguenti problemi comuni e alle relative soluzioni:
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Nessun suono | Nessun potere di amplifier; incorrect wiring; amplifier in protect mode; source unit issue. | Controllo amplifier power and ground connections. Verify all wiring connections to the subwoofer and amplificatore. Controlla amplifier fuses. Ensure source unit is sending an audio signal. |
| Suono distorto | Gain set too high; incorrect crossover settings; damaged voice coil; enclosure issues. | Ridurre amplifier gain. Adjust crossover frequency. Inspect subwoofer cone and surround for damage. Ensure enclosure is sealed and free of air leaks (if applicable). |
| Bassi deboli | Incorrect phase setting; insufficient power; improper enclosure volume. | Regolare amplifier phase control (0 or 180 degrees). Ensure amplifier provides adequate power for the subwoofer. Verify enclosure volume matches recommendations. |
| Surriscaldamento del subwoofer | Under-powered amplifier; impedance mismatch; prolonged high volume use. | Garantire amplifier power matches subwoofer RMS rating. Verify correct impedance wiring. Reduce listening volume. Ensure adequate ventilation. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact your authorized Focal dealer or a qualified service technician.
