PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Monolith-24456-THX-500‑Watt-Powered-Subwoofer-fig-1

CROSSOVER: Use the CROSSOVER knob to adjust the upper limit of the subwoofer’s frequency response from 40 to 160 Hz. The subwoofer will output only those frequencies below the set level. You should set the crossover frequency to obtain a smooth and seamless transition from the subwoofer to the main speakers in your system. If your main speakers are smaller units with limited low-frequency output, start with a higher frequency, such as in the 100-150 Hz range. With larger speakers that have greater low-frequency output, you might start with this control set lower, such as in the 60-100 Hz range.

PHASE: This control allows you to alter the phase of the subwoofer’s output signal from 0° – 180° to correct for a possible mismatch in phase, which results in cancellation between the subwoofer and your main speakers. To adjust the PHASE, listen to the system with music playing and tune between 0° and 180° while listening for a change in mid-bass output. The correct position will have a higher amount of apparent mid-bass output.

LEVEL: This control allows you to adjust the output level of the subwoofer to match the main speakers in your system. We recommend starting with the LEVEL knob set to the THX position and then calibrating your system with your AV receiver, surround preamp/processor, or SPL meter. The THX position corresponds roughly to a 0dB setting. For most home theater receivers and surround sound processors, set the LEVEL knob to point straight upwards (in the 12 o’clock position). For music systems, start with the LEVEL knob at a low setting and increase it slowly from there until the audio level matches that of the main speakers. The use of test tones (from a receiver/processor’s built-in calibration function or test disc) and an SPL meter is suggested for proper level matching of all speakers.

CROSSOVER: Set this switch to the THX (OFF) position when using a modern audio/video receiver to bypass the subwoofer’s crossover settings. Use the ON setting to use the subwoofer’s built-in crossover, which is set using the CROSSOVER knob.

EQ: Set the EQ switch to the THX position to have the subwoofer perform within the THX® certified parameters. When set to the EXTENDED position, the subwoofer will use your amplifier’s equalizer, with the result that the output level will be slightly louder, but with more distortion. Experiment to find which setting you prefer.

POWER: Use the POWER switch to determine whether the subwoofers will always remain on or if they will automatically go into standby mode after 30 minutes of no audio input.

LED INDICATOR: The LED will illuminate green when the subwoofer is powered on and will illuminate red when the subwoofer is in standby mode.

Monolith-24456-THX-500‑Watt-Powered-Subwoofer-fig-2

LFE & LINE UNBALANCED INPUTS: Use either of these RCA inputs to connect the LFE output on your amplifier or receiver. If your amplifier/receiver does not have an LFE output, connect the stereo preamplifier output on your amplifier/receiver to both the 1 and 2 inputs.

XLR BALANCED INPUT: Use this XLR input to connect to a balanced audio source.

XLR DIRECT PASS-THRU: This XLR output passes the original audio signal without modification of any kind.

FUSE/120 VAC: Plug the included AC power cord into the C14 panel connector on the combined AC input and fuse holder. The fuse holder includes both the main fuse and a replacement fuse. If you need an additional fuse, use the type indicated on the rear panel.

SETUP GUIDE

To get the maximum performance from your new Monolith™ THX® Subwoofer, it must be properly connected, positioned properly within the room, and configured to match your main speakers. To connect the subwoofer you will need either a single mono RCA audio cable (in the case of systems with a subwoofer/LFE output), a stereo RCA audio cable (in the case of systems with a left/right pre-amp output), or an XLR cable (when connecting from a receiver or processor with a balanced subwoofer output jack). Note that once an input signal is detected on the RCA or XLR input, the subwoofer will select that signal source and will disable the other source. To change the input from RCA to XLR or vice versa, unplug the subwoofer from the power outlet.

Subwoofer Placement

In most rooms, the optimum location for your subwoofer is in the closest solid front corner or somewhere along the front wall in line with your front speakers. This location typically offers optimal energy coupling with the room, front speakers, and the deepest low-frequency extension, with the best high-impact bass. Try to avoid a location that is far away from the walls or near the center of your room.

Bass output is maximized when the subwoofer is tucked into a corner. An ideal corner is far from wall divisions and has at least 6 feet or more of wall to either side. Try to keep the subwoofer placement away from any large openings in other rooms. When corner loading a subwoofer, you might want to experiment with how close the subwoofer sits to the closest wall, with a general rule of thumb that it should be within 1 foot.
Placing the subwoofer in close proximity to the seating position, for example, right next to or behind the sofa, maximizes the output and can reduce room effects on the subwoofer.

A great technique for determining the best placement for your subwoofer is known as the Subwoofer Crawl. The first step is to place the subwoofer in your listening position. Ensure that audio with constant bass content or a test tone is playing. Next, crawl around the room (after all, the subwoofer will not be 5 feet in the air) and listen for where the bass sounds most full and has definition, punch, and depth. This will generally be the best location in your room. Finally, place the subwoofer in that location and finish the rest of the setup and configuration.

Connecting to a Balanced XLR Output

The best possible connection, with the least amount of noise or distortion, is connecting using an XLR cable to a balanced XLR output on a receiver or mixer. Perform the following steps to connect the subwoofer using the XLR balanced input.

Power off and unplug all equipment to be connected.
Using an XLR cable, plug one end into the XLR BALANCED INPUT on the subwoofer, then plug the other end into the balanced XLR output on your receiver or mixer.
(Optional) Using another XLR cable, plug one end into the XLR BALANCED INPUT on another Monolith™ subwoofer, then plug the other end into the XLR DIRECT PASS-THRU jack on the subwoofer.
Plug one end of the included AC power cable into the FUSE/120 VAC connector on the subwoofer, then plug the other end into a nearby AC power outlet.
Warning! Due to the power requirements of the Monolith™ subwoofer, do not connect to the accessory outlets on a receiver or processor. If using a power strip, ensure that it is rated to accommodate the subwoofer’s power requirements.
Plug in and power on all connected equipment.
Set the POWER switch on the subwoofer to the AUTO ON/OFF or ALWAYS ON position, as desired.
Using the information in the PRODUCT OVERVIEW section, set the controls to the desired starting positions, then adjust as needed.

Connecting to a Subwoofer/LFE Output

If your amplifier has a Subwoofer or LFE output, you can connect to the subwoofer using a single, mono RCA cable. Perform the following steps to connect the subwoofer to a dedicated subwoofer or LFE output on your receiver or amplifier. Note that any receiver that can decode Dolby Digital™ or DTS® soundtracks will have a dedicated subwoofer or LFE output.

Power off and unplug all equipment to be connected.
Using a single, mono RCA cable, plug one end into one of the LFE & LINE UNBALANCED INPUTS on the subwoofer, then plug the other end into the dedicated subwoofer or LFE output on your receiver.
(Optional) Using an XLR cable, plug one end into the XLR BALANCED INPUT on another Monolith™ subwoofer, then plug the other end into the XLR DIRECT PASS-THRU jack on the subwoofer.
Plug one end of the included AC power cable into the FUSE/120 VAC connector on the subwoofer, then plug the other end into a nearby AC power outlet.
Warning! Due to the power requirements of the Monolith™ subwoofer, do not connect to the accessory outlets on a receiver or processor. If using a power strip, ensure that it has rated to accommodate the subwoofer’s power requirements.
Plug in and power on all connected equipment.
Set the POWER switch on the subwoofer to the AUTO ON/OFF or ALWAYS ON position, as desired.
Using the information in the PRODUCT OVERVIEW section, set the controls to the desired starting positions, then adjust as needed.

Connecting to a Stereo Preamp Output

The least desirable connection type is to connect to the stereo preamplifier output on an amplifier or receiver. Perform the following steps to connect the subwoofer to a stereo preamp output.

Power off and unplug all equipment to be connected.
Using a stereo RCA cable, plug the connectors on one end into both LFE & LINE UNBALANCED INPUTS on the subwoofer, then plug the other end into the stereo preamp outputs on your amplifier or receiver. Because the subwoofer is monophonic, there is no need to match the left and right channels.
Note: If you are using an external power amplifier and your preamplifier has only a single preamp output, use RCA Y-cables on each output to allow both the power amplifier and the subwoofer to be connected to the single output.
(Optional) Using an XLR cable, plug one end into the XLR BALANCED INPUT on another Monolith™ subwoofer, then plug the other end into the XLR DIRECT PASS-THRU jack on the subwoofer. Repeat as often as desired.
Plug one end of the included AC power cable into the FUSE/120 VAC connector on the subwoofer, then plug the other end into a nearby AC power outlet.
Warning! Due to the power requirements of the Monolith™ subwoofer, do not connect to the accessory outlets on a receiver or processor. If using a power strip, ensure that it has rated to accommodate the subwoofer’s power requirements.
Plug in and power on all connected equipment.
Set the POWER switch on the subwoofer to the AUTO ON/OFF or ALWAYS ON position, as desired.
Using the information in the PRODUCT OVERVIEW section, set the controls to the desired starting positions, then adjust as needed.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If there is excessive noise/hum when using the RCA input, there are some simple remedies:

Use a balanced XLR connection.
Reduce the gain of the subwoofer level by approximately 6dB, then increase the output level of the preamplifier/processor. This will improve the signal-to-noise ratio by approximately 6 dB.
Use an RCA Y-adapter to utilize both RCA inputs, then reduce the gain by approximately 6dB, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio by approximately 6 dB.
