Connection to a multi-channel audio-video amplifier

TRIANGLE-TALES-Active-Subwoofer-fig-2

Use the SUBWOOFER output of the amplifier and connect it to the LFE input of your subwoofer. This input allows to filtering by your audio-video amplifier and not by the subwoofer. When connected to the Subwoofers LFE input, the setting of the crossover frequencies should be regulated in the dedicated menu on your AV amplifier (see the user manual of your device). When connected, please turn the Crossover to the maximum.

Connection with stereo amplifier

Use the PRE-OUT (R+L) output on your preamplifier or on your integrated stereo amplifier (see the owner’s manual of your equipment) and connect it to the inputs on the enclosure.

Powering ON

Powering ON should be carried out as follows

Check once again that all connections are correct and that the volume button of your amplifier is at minimum.
Connect the power plug.
Switch the ON /OFF switch to ON, the blue LED on the front panel lights up.
Adjust the volume, frequency and phase buttons (see Settings).
The standby is done automatically if no signal is received for 15 minutes, the LED on the front panel becomes red.

Note: Cut off the power supply of the subwoofer by using the power switch when it is not in use for several days.

Positioning and settings

Position your subwoofer in the forward listening zone (if possible between the two main speakers) for a better sound resolution.
This subwoofer can be used with any type of loudspeakers.
The ideal setting should correspond to a realistic reproduction of the bass and be adjusted the best possible with your main loudspeakers. You should not «feel» the subwoofer, the bass should seem to come from the main speakers.
The phase inversion switch can be used to to reach the best result possible. This switch is used to inverse the phase of the sound signals coming from the subwoofer. Depending on the placement of the subwoofer in the room in relation to the main speakers, inverting the subwoofer phase can lead to a better coherence of the system’s global response in the bass frequencies.
We recommend you to carry out various tests until finding the setting which suits you the best. Use a recording you know well and study the result according to your taste and expectations.
