Rear Panel Instruction

Combo Input: Two balanced 1/4″/XLR combo jack A/B are provided. This allows for stereo input from two separate feeds. The subwoofer will work with only one input connected.
XLR Output: Two XLR full-range passthrough output are provided. These outputs are not affected by the LPF and will send full-range signal on the rest of your PA setup.
RCA Input: Two RCA unbalanced input are provided. The subwoofer will work with only one input connected.
Volume Control: This controls the gain of the input signal. It will raise and lower volume of the subwoofer. Standard usage is setting this control at 50%.
LPF Control: Low Pass Filter, this controls how much high frequency is filtered out of the signal and how much of the higher bass frequencies are left in the signal. This does not add bass to the signal, it determines how much high frequency is cut out of the signal. Setting this control to the middle usually works best.
Polarity: This control will reverse the phase of the speaker in relation to the rest of the PA. This allows a quick fix for an out-of-phase setup.
Power LED: This indicator will light when the subwoofer is turned on.
Signal LED: This indicator will flash when there is signal input.
Clip LED: This indicator lights up when the amplifier is near clipping. An occasional flickering is acceptable. If LED is lit continuously, adjust the level control and reduce the output level of connected sources. Failure to do so may lead to premature failure of your speaker.
Front LED control: On/Off
IEC input: This receptacle is for connecting the included IEC power cable. It is important to supply the proper AC line voltage to the unit. Do not connect to intermittent or faulty power.
Power Switch: To turn on/off the subwoofer.
Voltage selection: This switch is supplied for moving the unit from 115 voltage (US Standard) to 230 voltage (European Standard). The switch needs to be set on the proper voltage for your area.
