Active Crossover & Power Amplifier
Congratulations on your purchase of a Definitive Technology ProSub 60
Subwoofer. This revolutionary subwoofer utilizes state-of-the-art components,
a non-resonant monocoque cabinet and low diffraction construction in order to
achieve the most lifelike sound possible in your listening room for many years
to come. The ProSub is a compact, high quality powered speaker system
intended primarily for use as a subwoofer in superior quality music or home
theater systems.
This ProSub 60 powered subwoofer incorporates a high current power
amplifier, electronic crossover and precise equalization in order to achieve the
highest possible level of low frequency performance. The amplifier and elec-
tronic crossover are completely self-contained modules which are housed in
the subwoofer. The ProSub 60 incorporates Definitive's proprietary
PowerField ® technology, by which the amplifier is specifically engineered in
conjunction with the driver for optimum load matching and power transfer
characteristics. The integrated electronic crossover incorporates high level
inputs and outputs as well as low level inputs, precise equalization, continuously
variable low pass filter (between 40 and 150 Hz), fixed speaker level high pass
filter (to match the ProMonitors) and a precision volume control. The
tremendous built-in flexibility allows easy, seamless integration with all main
speaker systems and optimum performance in any room. The crossover incor-
porates circuitry which allows for exceptional performance as either a single
subwoofer (blending left and right bass channels) or when two subwoofers are
used, one each for the left and right channels.
Our engineers have spent many years in developing this product. To ensure
that you only experience the finest performance possible from your subwoofer,
we encourage you to take a moment with this owner's manual and familiarize
yourself with the proper installation and setup procedures for your subwoofer.
