Subwoofers In Use; Default Reset - Bowers & Wilkins DB Series User Manual

5. Subwoofers In Use

Once your subwoofer has been set up it is ready
for use. In normal daily use little adjustment should
be necessary, however you may wish to adjust the
subwoofer volume level, use an alternative input EQ,
or select the other input.
• To adjust subwoofer volume use the level control
on the app home page.
• To select an alternative Input EQ select from the
input set up page.
• To select the alternative input select the
alternative tab on the input set up page.
To switch your subwoofer to standby mode press
the front panel standby button. The button indicator
will illuminate red.
Please remember that your DB Series subwoofer is
capable of volume levels that have the potential to
cause nuisance. If in any doubt, reduce the volume.
Note: If a DB subwoofer is overloaded its
standby indicator will flash red.
The performance of your subwoofer may change
subtly during the initial listening period. If it has
been stored in a cold environment, the damping
compounds and suspension materials of the drive
units will take some time to recover their correct
mechanical properties. The drive unit suspension
will also loosen up during the first hours of use. The
time taken for the speaker to achieve its intended
performance will vary depending on previous storage
conditions and how it is used. As a guide, allow up
to a week for the temperature effects to stabilise and
15 hours of average use for the mechanical parts to
attain their intended design characteristics.

6. Default Reset

To return your subwoofer to its default settings,
press and hold the front panel standby button for
5 seconds. When the default reset is complete the
subwoofer will switch off. Press the standby button
or launch the app to switch on.
7. Cleaning
Wipe surfaces with a clean lint-free cloth. If you
wish to use a cleaning agent, apply it onto the
cleaning cloth, not directly onto the subwoofer.
Test a small area first, as some cleaning products
may damage some of the surfaces. Avoid products
that are abrasive, or contain acid, alkali or anti-
bacterial agents.
