3. Začetne nastavitve

• Način napajanja: Set to "AUTO" for automatic power on/off with signal detection, or "ON" for continuous operation.
• faza: Start with "0°". Adjust later if bass sounds thin or out of sync with main speakers.
• križanec: Set to a starting point based on your main speakers' low-frequency capabilities. A common starting point is 80 Hz.
• obseg: Set to a low level (e.g., 1/4 or 1/3 of the way up) to avoid sudden loud bass when first powering on.

Delovanje

Once connected, flip the main power switch on the rear panel to the "ON" position. If "Power Mode" is set to "AUTO", the subwoofer will power on automatically when an audio signal is detected and enter standby mode when no signal is present for a period.

Prilagajanje nastavitev zvoka

• obseg: Adjust the volume knob to balance the subwoofer's output with your main speakers. The bass should be felt, not overtly heard as a separate speaker.
• križanec: Fine-tune the crossover frequency. This determines the point at which the subwoofer takes over from your main speakers. If your main speakers are small, a higher crossover frequency (e.g., 100-120 Hz) may be appropriate. For larger speakers, a lower frequency (e.g., 60-80 Hz) might be better.
• faza: If the bass sounds weak or hollow, try switching the phase between 0° and 180°. The correct setting will result in the most impactful and coherent bass.

Make small adjustments and listen to various types of audio content to find the optimal settings for your room and preferences.
