1. Welcome to Episode®
Episode® is one of the most highly regarded brands of speakers available today. We appreciate your business and we
stand committed to providing our customers with the highest degree of quality and service in the industry.
Episode® subwoofers are a superb choice for bass reinforcement of most audio systems. They have been designed
with advanced technology components that accurately reproduce low frequencies in all types of music and movies. For
optimum system performance, we recommend pairing them with our acclaimed Episode® loudspeakers.
2. Features
World Class Digital Amplifier Technology
These powered subwoofers incorporate the latest digital amplifier technology to maximize performance while generating
little heat. In standby mode, the subwoofer consumes less than 0.5 watts, making it one of the "greenest" solutions
available.
Slot Port
The aerodynamic port design minimizes turbulence and allows for continuous air flow, which improves efficiency,
maximizes output, and reduces distortion.
Tuned System Performance
Offers rear-mounted volume control, low-pass crossover adjustment, and continuously variable (0-180 degrees) phase
control to ensure optimal system integration, giving a seamless blend for an unbelievable music and movie experience.
Signal-Sensing For Automatic Power Control
There are two power mode options with an Episode® powered subwoofer: Always On and Auto Sense. When Auto
Sense is selected, the subwoofer will automatically switch to a power-saving standby mode until an input signal is
detected. Power will turn on whenever a minimal amount of signal is detected on the input jacks, and off again when no
signal is present for approximately 15 minutes.
Gold-Plated Inputs
Episode® only uses the highest quality inputs available to maximize performance. Stereo inputs are included for easy
connections. For home theater use, the left RCA unbalanced input also serves as an LFE (Low Frequency Effects) input
for a direct connection from the receiver or processor. For added versatility, there are also gold-plated, five-way binding-
post speaker-level inputs and outputs.
