Page 7: Speaker Placement
Speaker Placement Since the human ear is rather poor at localizing radiation frequencies below 125 Hz, good results may be obtained in a variety of room placements. Careful adjustment of the convenient panel controls will lead to seamless transition. Low frequency reinforcement occurs whenever woofers are placed near room boundaries. - Page 8 Speaker Placement Now, while such reinforcement might actually be beneficial at very low frequencies, excessive excitation can cause “overhang” or a droning effect at mid-bass frequencies. A way to minimize excitation of these resonances is to place your subwoofer asymmetrically relative to room boundaries.

Page 9: Speaker Connections
If using Left/Right output jacks from the preamp, the internal circuit module of the Metro XD will sum the two channels together. When using the left and right low level inputs on the subwoofer, the internal crossover of the subwoofer is being used. - Page 10 Option 2: Connecting single sub out Connect the preamp/processor’s “sub out” to the left channel RCA input (mono). Option 3: The Metro XD provides an XLR input jack for balanced connections from your preamp or processor Page 10 of 19...
- Page 11 Speaker Connections Powering Up Metro XD 1. Power Cable: The supplied power cable will plug into the socket on the back terminal plate of the unit. NOTE: Try to plug into the same AC circuit as the rest of your audio system, as this will avoid hum from ground loops.

Page 12: Fine Tuning
Fine Tuning Adjusting the Metro XD Subwoofer On the back panel of the Metro XD Subwoofer you’ll notice four controls: Level, Freq., Blend and Phase. These allow an extraordinary amount of control over your subwoofer. These controls will allow you to tailor the sound of the sub to your room and integrate with your main speakers. -
Page 13: Fine Tuning
Fine Tuning Blend: Turning the knob counter-clockwise reduces energy from the subwoofer in the range of 35-50 Hz. Turning the knob clockwise will increase gain in this area. This can reduce excessive energy or give more low frequency impact in this range depending on the setting. This control is very similar to that of a graphic EQ. -
Page 14: Designer Notes Room Resonances
Designer Notes: Room Resonances *The following information is not essential to operating your subwoofer but is provided for enthusiasts who wish to further their understanding. Three types of acoustical resonances occur in all bounded (non-anechoic) listening environments; tangential, oblique, and axial. Simple axial resonances occur directly between 2 parallel boundaries and have very strong impact on the pressure response in a... -
Page 15: Subwoofer Boundary Reinforcement: Corner Placement
Designer Notes: Subwoofer Boundary Reinforcement Corner Placement The plots to the right summarize the boundary influences on a corner placed subwoofer. Shown are frequency response effects for a cubical room (Least Optimal) compared to a room with "Golden" ratios (Most Optimal). The top graph demonstrates the strong cancellation caused by excessive architectural symmetry. -
