QUICK START
We realize that you can't
wait to hook up your new
Mackie HRS10 High Reso-
lution Powered Subwoofer
and try it out. Nevertheless,
please take the time to read this page NOW,
and the rest can wait until you're good and
ready.
The HRS10 has its own built-in power
amplifier. You should turn the INPUT SENSI-
TIVITY
control on the back of the cabinet
down (fully counterclockwise) before turning
on the HRS10 for the first time. Also be sure
to set the power switch
off (down). This will prevent you from acci-
dentally connecting a hot signal source to the
subwoofer and getting a rude surprise.
There are a number of other settings you
can make on the back of the HRS10, and you
can read about them later on in this manual
so you really know what they do. For now, just
leave all the switches out, and the CROSSOVER
controls set to the center position (80Hz).
For stereo applications:
1. Connect the left and right line-level signal
from your mixer, preamp, or other signal
source to the LEFT and RIGHT IN
on the HRS10 (XLR or RCA).
2. Connect the LEFT and RIGHT OUT
jacks on the HRS10 (XLR or RCA) to the
inputs of the left and right main powered
speakers (or to the inputs of the amplifiers
powering the left and right main speakers).
3. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the
IEC socket
on the back of the sub-
woofer. Plug the other end into an AC outlet
properly configured with the correct voltage
for your particular model.
For surround sound applications:
1. Connect the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)
or subwoofer line-level signal from your
mixer, preamp, or other signal source to the
LEFT (MONO) IN
(XLR or RCA).
2. Set the FILTER BYPASS
FULL RANGE position (pushed in).
3. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the
IEC socket
on the back of the sub-
woofer. Plug the other end into an AC outlet
properly configured with the correct voltage
for your particular model.

For stereo and surround sound applications:
4. Set the POWER
switch on the rear
panel to the ON position. The red POWER
LED will turn on.
5. Turn on the power to the other components
in the system.
6. Start your signal source (tape deck, CD, DAW,
or whatever), but leave the master volume
control on your mixer or preamp down.
7. Adjust the master volume on your mixer or
preamp to a comfortably loud listening level.
8. Slowly turn up the INPUT SENSITIVITY
control on the back of the HRS10 to
its fully clockwise position (NORMAL), or
until you achieve a balance between the
subwoofer and the other speakers in the
system.
9. Enjoy the authoritative, commanding lows
of the HRS10.
