IMPORTANT
AV SPEAKER CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
These satellite loudspeakers must be used set as ‘SMALL’ in the bass management menu on the AV amplifier/receiver. Please refer to the table below.
Bass output must be sent to ‘SUBWOOFER’ not ‘MAIN’ or ‘BOTH.
This ensures that the system will reproduce high SPL, undistorted sound and is the correct set up for any small loudspeaker.
Failure to do this will reduce the sonic quality of your system and, over a long time period, could result in damage to the satellite loudspeakers since high level, low frequency signals are sent to the small satellite loudspeakers.
