Advantages Of The Slave Subwoofer; The Final Touch - Cambridge SoundWorks Powered Subwoofer Instructions Manual

Advantages Of The Slave Subwoofer

If your listening space is very large
or if you wish the strongest low-
bass output possible, it may be
necessary to add our optional,
passive Slave Subwoofer. The Slave
Subwoofer consists of an acoustic
suspension bass driver like that of
the Powered Subwoofer, housed in
an identical cabinet and powered
by the amplifier within the
Powered Subwoofer. Because of the
acoustic coupling between the two
bass drivers, and because together
they present a load enabling the
amplifier to deliver higher power,
the combination system has
approximately three times the total
acoustic output of a Powered
Subwoofer alone. If you think you
may need the Slave Subwoofer,
consult your store or an Audio/
Video Consultant at any Cambridge
SoundWorks store or call
1-877-YES-HIFI.
Note: The Powered Subwoofer and
Slave Subwoofer are a matched
system. Under no circumstances
should any speaker other than a
Slave Subwoofer be connected to
the "Slave Subwoofer Output" on
the Powered Subwoofer. Using the
Slave Subwoofer Output to drive
any other speaker can result in
damage to the Powered Subwoofer
and the resultant damage is not
covered under the terms of the
Powered Subwoofer warranty.

The Final Touch

Our "in the speaker line" Low-
Cut Filters optimize the perfor-
mance your system at higher
output levels by keeping the low
frequencies best left to the
subwoofer out of the main front
speakers. This eases the burden
on the front speakers and ampli-
fier, letting them play more
cleanly at higher levels, a major
potential benefit of having a
subwoofer in the first place.
• Our inexpensive Low-Cut Filters
are ideal for use with Cambridge
SoundWorks' Model Seventeen,
Model Six and Ambiance
speakers, and other convention-
al systems of reasonably wide
range. Connect these filters
between your main speakers
and your amplifier. The filters
begin to block bass signals to
your main speakers below
about 140 Hz, so that below
100 Hz, almost no bass signals
reach your main speakers.
