3. Configurazione e connessioni

Proper setup is crucial for achieving the best sound quality from your subwoofer. Follow these steps for installation:

3.1 Posizionamento

The placement of your subwoofer significantly impacts its performance. Experiment with different locations in your room to find the optimal spot. Generally, placing the subwoofer in a corner can enhance bass output, but may also lead to boomy sound. Placing it along a wall or near your main speakers can provide a more balanced sound. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.

3.2 Collegamento del subwoofer

The SUB1015 offers both RCA line-level and speaker-level inputs for compatibility with various audio systems.

RCA Line-Level Input (Recommended)

If your AV receiver or pre-amplifier has a dedicated subwoofer output (often labeled LFE, Sub Out, or Pre-Out Sub), use an RCA cable to connect this output to the LINE INPUT (LFE) on the subwoofer's rear panel. This method typically provides the best performance and control.

Ingresso a livello di altoparlante

Se il tuo ricevitore o amplifier does not have a dedicated subwoofer output, you can connect the subwoofer using the speaker-level inputs. Connect the speaker outputs from your amplificatore al INGRESSO LIVELLO ALTOPARLANTE terminals on the subwoofer. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). You can then connect your main speakers to the USCITA LIVELLO ALTOPARLANTE terminals on the subwoofer, or directly to your amplifier if your main speakers are full-range.

3.3 Collegamento di alimentazione

Once all audio connections are made, connect the supplied AC power cord to the subwoofer's power inlet and then to a suitable wall outlet. The subwoofer is designed for 230 Volts input.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

After connecting your subwoofer, use the controls on the rear panel to fine-tune its performance.

• VOLUME: Regola il livello di uscita complessivo del subwoofer. Inizia con un'impostazione bassa e aumentala gradualmente fino a quando i bassi non si fondono perfettamente con gli altoparlanti principali.
• LOW PASS (Hz): Controls the upper frequency limit of the subwoofer. This setting determines where the subwoofer takes over from your main speakers. A common starting point is 80 Hz, but adjust based on your main speakers' low-frequency capabilities.
• ENERGIA: Questo interruttore ha tre posizioni:
  • OFF: Turns the subwoofer off.
  • SOPRA: Keeps the subwoofer continuously on.
  • AUTO: The subwoofer will automatically turn on when an audio signal is detected and enter standby mode after a period of inactivity. This mode consumes less than 0.5W in standby.
• FASE: Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer's output relative to your main speakers. Set to 0° or 180°. Experiment with both settings to find which provides the most coherent and impactful bass in your listening position.
