PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR PRODUCT

1. Safety Precautions

•
Please follow all instructions in this manual.
•
Important: The SB-3 is NOT intended for overhead use. Overhead use may result in injury or death. If you need to mount
your subwoofer above occupied areas, please contact GOaudio and we can build you a version that will be suitable for your
needs.
•
The SB-3 must be attached to a wall or other secure surface. It must not be left freestanding, as this may result in injury,
death or damage to the loudspeaker or other equipment.
Please use a mount that is rated for the intended load: 40 lb rating for SB-3.
•
•
The SB-3 is not intended for use in damp or wet environments. Installing these loudspeakers in damp or wet environments
will void the warranty and may cause a dangerous situation.

2. Loudspeaker Placement and Aiming

Proper placement requires that you understand the physical characteristics of subwoofers.
•
•
It is recommended that you use at least one SB-3 per pair of SA-6 line array speakers or at least one SB-3 per SA-12.
The SB-3 has basically an omnidirectional coverage pattern, however placement is still critical. You can increase its
•
efficiency by placing it in or near a corner. Even more efficiency can be achieved by placing it at or near the intersection of
three surfaces.
•
Subwoofers are not "line-of-sight" devices. You can place them out of sight, however they should be placed as close to their
associated full-range speakers as possible. Otherwise, problems with localization of sound may result. You may, however,
want to keep them away from open microphones.
•
The SB-3 is a moderate-throw device meaning that you should not expect it to cover more than about 30 or 40 feet into a
room. Additional penetration (and some directionality) can be achieved by stacking multiple units into a vertical array. (Be
sure to follow proper mounting techniques as outlined in this manual.)

  • Page 3: Troubleshooting

    • To minimize damage due to over-excursion, the signal going to an SB-3 should always be high-pass filtered at a minimum of 40 Hz. When used with the SA-6, the minimum crossover frequency should be 150 Hz. With the SA-12, the minimum crossover frequency should be 100 Hz.
