Product Information
The SOUND TOWN ZETHUS-115SPW/115SWPW is a powered line array subwoofer with a built-in high power Class-D amplifier and digital signal processor (DSP). It features dynamic bass enhancement, RMS dynamic processor, and a 2nd order IIR filter. The subwoofer has customized 4 voice coil high power low-frequency drivers that provide powerful and strong bass sound. It also offers digital EQ presets and switchable full range or high pass signal outputs, making it ideal for use with other speakers.
Product Usage Instructions
To use the SOUND TOWN ZETHUS-115SPW/115SWPW subwoofer, follow these instructions:
- Ensure that the subwoofer is placed in a well-ventilated areaand not obstructed by any objects that may impede the flow ofcooling air.
- Avoid installing the subwoofer near heat sources such asradiators, heat registers, stoves, or heat-producingamplifiers.
- Make sure not to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized orgrounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades.
- Connect the power cable to the AC Input (Neutrik powerCON) onthe rear panel of the subwoofer.
- Connect your audio source to the Combo Inputs (balanced 1/4/XLRcombo jacks L/R). You can use two separate feeds for stereo input,but the subwoofer will work with only one input connected.
- Adjust the Master Volume Control to set the gain of the inputsignal. The standard usage is setting this control at 50%.
- Use the Polarity Switch to reverse the polarity (phase) of thesubwoofer if necessary, depending on the position of other speakersor subwoofers relative to it.
- Press the EQ Presets button to select one of the fourpresetting modes. Each mode determines the low pass frequency:120Hz, 180Hz, 300Hz, or 500Hz. The EQ presets do not add bass tothe signal but determine how much high frequency is cut out.
- Set the OUTPUT MODE switch to ‘FULL RANGE’ if you want the XLRoutputs to pass through the full range signal. Set it to ‘HIGHPASS’ if you want the XLR outputs to output an 80Hz high passsignal.
- Make sure the Power LED indicator lights up when the subwooferis turned on.
- The Signal LED will flash when there is a signal input.
- If the Limit LED indicator lights up continuously, it means theamplifier is near clipping. Adjust the level control and reduce theoutput level of connected sources to prevent premature failure ofyour speaker.
- The USB interface is for manufacturer use only and should notbe used for charging.
