ABOUT EARTHQUAKE SOUND

For over 30 years, Earthquake Sound has been producing a variety of high quality audio products that have impressed audiophile communities around the world. It all started in 1984 when Joseph Sahyoun, a music freak and Aerospace Engineer unhappy with the existing loud speaker technology and performance, decided to put his advance engineering knowledge to use. He pushed technological boundaries to the limit to create the kind of subwoofer he could live with. Earthquake quickly created a name for itself in the car audio industry and became well known for its powerful subwoofers and amplifiers. In 1997, using his existing expertise in the audio industry, Joseph Sahyoun expanded his company to home audio production.
Earthquake Sound has since evolved into a leader in the home audio industry, producing not only subwoofers and amplifiers but surround speakers and tactile transducers as well. Engineered by audiophiles for audiophiles, Earthquake Sound audio products are meticulously crafted to reproduce each and every single note perfectly, bringing your home theater experience to life. With true dedication and full attention to details, Earthquake Sound engineers continuously develop new and better products to meet customers’ needs and go beyond their expectations.
From mobile audio to prosound and home audio, Earthquake Sound has been selected as the winner of many prestigious awards based on sound quality, performance, value and features. CEA and numerous publications have awarded Earthquake Sound with over a dozen design and engineering awards. Additionally, Earthquake Sound has been granted many design patents by the USPTO for revolutionary audio designs that have changed the sound of the audio industry.
Headquartered in a 60,000 square foot facility in Hayward, California USA, Earthquake Sound currently exports to over 60 countries worldwide. In 2010, Earthquake Sound expanded its export operations by opening a European warehouse in Denmark. This accomplishment was recognized by the US Department of Commerce who honored Earthquake Sound with an Export Achievement award at the 2011 Consumer Electronic Show. Just recently, the US Department of Commerce presented Earthquake Sound with another Export Achievement award for expanding its export operations in China.EARTHQUAKE SOUND FF-12 12 Inch

SYSTEM INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

There are several factors to consider before installing or placing Earthquake Sound’s MiniMe DSP Subwoofer.
What are the intended listening zones?
From where in each zone will the listener prefer to control the system? Where will the subwoofer be located?
Where will the source equipment be located?

CONNECTION TIPS

  • Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming from induced noise.
  • Choose reliable signal cable cords (Earthquake Sound also specializes in high performance RCA cables and patches).
  • All speaker wires that are ran trough the walls should be twisted type to reduce potential hum noise pick-up.
  • It is best to use a grounded electrical outlet to power the amplifier. Lack of input ground reference could be unsafe. Consult with your electrical contractor about proper grounding.

SAFE AND PROPER HANDLING

The MiniMe DSP subwoofer is considerably heavy for an average person to carry or maneuver. To prevent injuries and eliminate any possible damage to the subwoofer, we encourage you to employ the help of a friend when unpacking the unit. We further suggest the following.

  • wear a back support belt if needed when carrying/lifting the MiniMe DSP FF-12.
  • If possible, get someone to help you move the MiniMe DSP FF-12 subwoofer.
  • Do not apply pressure or push against the face of the speaker as this will cause irreparable damage to the cone and suspension.
  • When carrying the MiniMe DSP, make sure that the speakers/grilles are positioned away from your chest, eliminating the chance of pushing against the face of the speaker.
  • Do not drop the MiniME DSP or subject it to sudden shocks. This will damage the external finish and weaken the enclosure, creating air leaks.
  • Avoid exposing the MiniMe DSP to moisture. Water will damage the wood structure as well as the amplifier and speaker.
  • Cleaning the MiniMe DSP is best using a soft cloth. If needed, use a mild detergent with water. Like any other electrical unit, always make sure that the unit is unplugged prior to cleaning it.

UNPACKING YOUR SUBWOOFER

  • Keep the original carton and packing materials for future shipment storage.
  • Check for any visual signs of damage. If you encounter any concealed damage, consult your Earthquake Sound dealer before proceeding with unit installation.
  • Retain the sales receipt as it establishes the duration of the limited warranty and provides information for insurance purposes.

The MiniMe DSP is packaged well for safety. We highly suggest having a padded surface and at least two (2) people to safely unpack the subwoofer.

STEP 1:
On a padded surface, carefully place the box on its side to remove the bottom packing tape and staples.
STEP 2:
Without tilting the box too much, tug the bottom flaps outward and keep the protective foam in place.
STEP 3:
Gently reposition the box upright. STEP 4 :
Slide the box off, minding the protective foam on the top, bottom, and sides of the subwoofer.

PLACING YOUR SUBWOOFER(S)

You often hear the term “subwoofers are non-directional.” This is not true. It is harder to choose subwoofer placement when low frequencies are crossed. The wider the room, the more directional the subwoofer. The easiest solution is to use two (2) subwoofers,  eed a mono signal to both and place them in front, one on the left and another on the right.
While having two (2) subs is better than one, the MONO signal that drives those subs keeps them from projecting the three dimensional images in the sub- harmonics. Using two (2) subwoofers allows you to cross the subs up to 250Hz sound quality, imaging and
staging. In some applications, you might have small front speakers or planar speakers. The two front-subwoofer system is an excellent solution to planar speakers’ low frequency response early roll off from 150Hz on down. When placing these subwoofers in close proximity to the stereo satellite, the subs will enhance low frequency extension. It will be better to have a stereo subwoofer to  elp in the lower bass notes and their placement.
Suppose you have only one (1) subwoofer in the room and it is placed on the right side of the room. If a bass guitar player was standing on the left side of the stage and played a EE note (42Hz), then the sub will also respond to that from the right side of the room and completely destroy the stage.
You will see illustrations showing the two (2) different suggested setups. In each of them, note the breakaway and the image separation represented by the black and gray arrows.

| The black arrows represent the sub-harmonic frequencies
---|---
| The gray arrows represent the lows, mids, and highs as they follow the action.

The best response is achieved when the subharmonic frequencies are dynamically synchronized with the rest of the audio system, the black and gray arrows are identical.

SINGLE SUBWOOFER SETUP

This is a GOOD setup. The subharmonic frequencies (black arrow) always move towards the sub in the single sub setup while the lows, mids, and highs (gray arrow)  followthe action.EARTHQUAKE SOUND FF-12 12 Inch Front Firing
Subwoofer Speaker - SINGLE SUBWOOFER SETUPPlacing the subwoofer in the corner of the room will produce a more boomy effect, often preferred for movies and sound tracks. For a music application, place the subwoofer as show above or against the front wall, about a third of the room width.

PLACING YOUR SUBWOOFER(S)

DUAL SUB SETUP WITH MONO SIGNAL
This is a BETTER setup. In a dual subwoofer setup, the sub-harmonic frequencies (black arrow) always move towards the middle of the room while the lows, mids, and highs follow the action (gray arrow).

Notice the breakaway and image separation is less in this setup than the single subwoofer setup.

CONNECTING THE MINIME DSP

LOW LEVEL SETUP – SINGLE SUB
This is the best way to drive an audio signal to your MiniMe DSP FF-12 subwoofer. Today, all signal processors (5.1, 6.1, etc.) come equipped with built-in  pre-amplifier outputs (RCA) that include a subwoofer output. Generally, the SUB PRE OUT is in a mono format. Connect the SUB PRE OUT from your audio/video processor to the MiniMe DSP FF-12 LOW LEVEL INPUT using a “Y” RCA cable.
We strongly recommend that you use the best available RCA connectors and cables. Most high quality RCA cables are triple shielded and the connectors are gold plated with forceful grasping.
When using this connection, the MiniMe DSP P10/P12 only receives bass signals from the source. Therefore, the crossover frequency should be set at max value. EARTHQUAKE SOUND FF-12 12 Inch Front Firing Subwoofer Speaker -
CONNECTING THE MINIME DSPLOW LEVEL SETUP – DUAL SUBS
For a more realistic sound stage and greater theater experience, we suggest having two (2) subwoofers and running them in stereo.
Using a “Y” RCA cable, connect the SUB PRE OUT 1 of the receiver to the LOW LEVEL INPUT of the left side MiniMe DSP FF-12.EARTHQUAKE SOUND FF-12 12 Inch
Front Firing Subwoofer Speaker - LOW LEVEL SETUP

Using another “Y” RCA cable, connect the SUB PRE OUT 1 of the receiver to the LOW LEVEL INPUT of the right side MiniMe DSP FF-12. In case the subwoofers become of out of phase with the main front speakers, flip the phase switches to correct the  problem.
Note that maximum bass is only achieved when the subwoofer is in phase with the rest of the speakers in your audio system.

ROOM TUNING WITH iWoofer™

About iWoofer™
iWoofer ™ is a mobile based application developed by ARTEM KHLYUPIN, that allows the user to control DSP settings from a mobile device. In addition to full DSP control, the iWoofer ™ Pro app offers automatic room correction to achieve a more linear or boomy response from the woofer.
Getting Started
Launch the iWoofer™ or iWoofer™ Pro app on your mobile device. Ensure that the iWoofer supported subwoofer is powered on and that Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. There is no need to search for the Bluetooth signal, the iWoofer™ app will automatically find it. Once the application has been launched, a list of devices found will appear as shown in the image. The device name is generally a string of letters and numbers representing the unique MAC or UDID address of the woofer you are connecting
to. Alternatively, the “Demo Mode” can be used to test the iWoofer™ features without connecting to a woofer.
After selecting your device, you will be prompted to import a DSP preset. If no previous presets have been saved on the woofer, select “Cancel” to continue connecting, otherwise select “OK”. Your mobile device will now connect with the woofer. Once connected, the device can be renamed from the “Options” menu.
Main Menu
Once connected, the iWoofer™ application will automatically take you into the main menu. The iWoofer™ menu features and options are listed.EARTHQUAKE

ControlTo add a fully Parametric Equalizer (PEQ), select the “+” icon. Up to 25 bands can be added, to remove a band select the trash icon. Double tap or press and hold a band for more than one second to select it.
Room Correction Control
The iWoofer™ Pro app features automatic room correction. To begin select “Room Correction” from the main menu. Once there, select “Wizard” to begin the automatic room correction process. Before beginning, ensure that the gain knob is properly adjusted on
the woofer and that the sub is not over-driven.
The iWoofer™ Pro app will begin by taking a near field measurement. Place the microphone as close as possible to the subwoofer and equal distance from the passive side. This can best be done by placing the microphone so that it is facing the side of the subwoofer halfway between the active and passive. After placing your mobile device in the proper location, select “Next” to begin  he sweep. It is important to remain as silent as possible during the sweeps. The subwoofer will now sweep through the frequency range. Once completed, you will be asked to add an  additional response or sweep measurement or you may continue. Earthquake  ound recommends performing a minimum of 3 response weeps in order to get an accurate measurement.
Once you have obtained the desired sweeps select “No, Next” to continue to the next step. You will then be prompted to select the reference type for the room compensation, Boomy Region, Near Field or Linear. We recommend the “Boomy Region” selection since it maintains the high energy peaks of the low frequencies while creating a linear response for the mid range. The Near Field option is ideal for users with poor mic tolerance as it measures relative SPL and only compensates for the room reflection and not the woofer/box itself. The final reference, Linear, creates as flat as a response curve as possible throughout the frequency range.
After the desired option is selected, iWoofer™ will then instruct you to place the mic in your typical listening position. Once the mic is placed, click “Next”. The iWoofer™ Pro app will then proceed to sweep again. As before, we recommend performing at least 3 response sweeps. Click “No, Next” when you have concluded your response sweeps and iWoofer™ will proceed to make the necessary adjustments to your subwoofer’s response.EARTHQUAKE SOUND FF-12 12
