Coarse phase
correction method
Connect an audio frequency signal generator
to a signal input on the subwoofer which has
a main loudspeaker connected to the corre-
sponding "OUT" connector. Set the generator
to 85 Hz. If a signal generator is not available,
then it is possible to use an audio test record-
ing which has a test frequency in the range
70 Hz to 100 Hz. Suitable test signals can be
downloaded at www.genelec.com.
• Toggle the -180° phase
switch 'ON' and 'OFF' and
set it to the position which
gives the lowest sound level
at the listening position.
• Next toggle the -90°phase
switch 'ON' and 'OFF', and
again set it to the position
which gives the lowest
sound level.
• Finally, set the -180°phase
switch to the opposite
setting.
Automatic protection circuits
The 5040A is equipped with protection cir-
cuits against loudspeaker driver thermal
overload and amplifier overheating. The pro-
tection system resets automatically so that
the user only has to turn the input level down
to ensure that it does not reactivate.
