Guida all'installazione

1. Disimballaggio e ispezione

Carefully remove the subwoofer from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage during transit. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.

2. Posizionamento

The TAS410D is a down-firing subwoofer, meaning its speaker driver is located on the bottom panel. For optimal performance, place the subwoofer on a solid, level surface. Experiment with different locations in your room to find the best bass response. Corners often provide enhanced bass, but can sometimes lead to boomy sound. Avoid placing the subwoofer directly against a wall if possible, or too close to other audio equipment that might be affected by vibrations.

3. Collegamento elettrico

The TAS410D features an automatic bivolt power supply (90-240Vac). Connect the provided power cord to the subwoofer's power inlet and then to a suitable wall outlet. Ensure the power switch on the subwoofer is in the "OFF" position before connecting to power.

4. Collegamenti audio

The subwoofer can be connected to your audio system using RCA cables. Connect the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) or Subwoofer output from your receiver/amplifier to the RCA input on the TAS410D. If your receiver does not have a dedicated subwoofer output, you may use the stereo RCA outputs and connect them to the subwoofer's L/R RCA inputs.

For expanding your system, the subwoofer includes an output for a passive subwoofer. Connect a passive subwoofer to this output using appropriate speaker wire.

Istruzioni per l'uso

1. Accensione/Spegnimento

After all connections are made, switch the power button on the rear panel to the "ON" position. The subwoofer will enter standby mode. If the "Direct On" function is enabled, the subwoofer will automatically power on when an audio signal is detected.

2. Controllo del volume

Adjust the "VOLUME" knob on the rear panel to set the desired bass level. Start with a low volume and gradually increase it to match the output of your main speakers.

3. Low Pass Filter (LPF) Adjustment

The "LPF" knob allows you to set the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer, ranging from 50 Hz to 250 Hz. This control helps blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers. A common starting point is to set the LPF slightly above the lowest frequency your main speakers can reproduce effectively.

4. Regolazione di fase

The "PHASE" switch (0° or 180°) helps ensure that the subwoofer's sound waves are in sync with your main speakers. If the bass sounds weak or hollow, try flipping the phase switch. The correct setting will result in the most impactful and coherent bass response.

5. Direct On Function

The "Direct On" feature automatically turns the subwoofer on when it detects an audio signal and puts it into standby mode after a period of inactivity. This eliminates the need to manually power the unit on and off.

Manutenzione

Pulizia

To clean the subwoofer, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosols, or abrasive chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components. Ensure the unit is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.

Magazzinaggio

If storing the subwoofer for an extended period, unplug it from the power source and store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to use the original packaging for protection.

Risoluzione dei problemi

If you experience issues with your Taramps TAS410D subwoofer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Nessun suono:
  • Ensure the subwoofer is plugged into a working power outlet and the power switch is "ON".
  • Check all audio cable connections between the subwoofer and your receiver/amppiù vivace.
  • Verify that the volume control on the subwoofer is not set to minimum.
  • Confirm that your receiver/amplifier's subwoofer output is enabled and its volume is adequate.
• Suono distorto:
  • Reduce the volume level on both the subwoofer and your receiver/amppiù vivace.
  • Check if the audio input signal is too strong.
  • Ensure the subwoofer is not placed in a location that causes excessive resonance or vibration.
• Rumore di ronzio:
  • This can often be caused by a ground loop. Try plugging the subwoofer into a different electrical outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
  • Ensure all audio cables are securely connected and not damaged.
  • Avoid running audio cables parallel to power cables.
• Subwoofer Not Turning On Automatically (Direct On):
  • Ensure the "Direct On" function is enabled (if it's a switch, check its position).
