3.1 Postavljanje

The placement of your subwoofer significantly impacts its performance. Consider the following guidelines:

  • Ugaoni položaj: Placing the subwoofer in a corner of the room can maximize its output and impact.
  • Postavljanje na zid: Placing it along a wall, but not in a corner, can also provide good bass response.
  • U blizini glavnih zvučnika: Za besprijekornu integraciju s glavnim zvučnicima, pokušajte postaviti subwoofer između njih ili blizu njih.
  • Izbjegavajte prepreke: Ensure the subwoofer is not obstructed by furniture or other objects that could block sound waves.
  • Eksperimentiranje: The best placement often requires experimentation. Try different locations in your room to find the optimal spot for your listening preferences.

  • LFE ulaz: For receivers with a dedicated subwoofer output (LFE or Sub Out), connect a single RCA cable from the receiver's LFE output to the subwoofer's LFE input.
  • Stereo Line Inputs (Left/Right): If your receiver or pre-amplifier has stereo RCA outputs, connect them to the subwoofer's Left and Right Line Inputs.
  • Speaker Level Inputs/Outputs: For systems without dedicated subwoofer or line-level outputs, connect the speaker outputs from your amplifier to the subwoofer's Speaker Level Inputs. Then, connect the subwoofer's Speaker Level Outputs to your main speakers. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).

3.3 Priključak za napajanje

Once all audio connections are made, connect the supplied power cord to the AC inlet on the rear panel of the subwoofer and then to a suitable wall outlet. Ensure the voltage selector (if present) is set correctly for your region.

4. Upute za rad

After connecting your subwoofer, you can adjust its settings for optimal sound integration with your system.

4.1 Kontrole prekoview

Refer to Image 3.2 for the location of these controls.

  • Volumen: Adjusts the overall output level of the subwoofer. Start with a low setting and gradually increase it until the bass blends seamlessly with your main speakers.
  • Low Pass (Crossover): This control sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. Frequencies above this setting will be rolled off. Adjust this to match the low-frequency capabilities of your main speakers. A common starting point is 80 Hz. If using a receiver with bass management, set the subwoofer's low pass filter to its maximum setting or bypass if possible, and manage the crossover through your receiver.
  • Faza: This switch (0°/180°) helps to align the subwoofer's output with your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the one that provides the most impactful and coherent bass at your listening position.
  • Način rada snage: The subwoofer features an auto on/off function. When set to 'Auto', the subwoofer will power on when an audio signal is detected and enter standby mode after a period of inactivity. You can also manually switch it 'On' or 'Off'.
