  • Page 3: Table Of Contents

    Thank you for purchasing a THIEL SmartSub system. It has been engineered to provide a very high level of performance and also incorporates innovative (patent pending) concepts in its design to solve the several special problems subwoofer systems usually exhibit. Consequently, it performs at a very high level with a wide variety of speakers and room locations.

    Product Features The THIEL SS1 SmartSub is a very high performance, innovative subwoofer system that provides exceptionally deep, uniform, dynamic and low distortion bass reproduction. In addition, it provides near-ideal performance with any room placement and, when used with the companion SI1 Integrator, provides near-perfect integration with any type of main loudspeaker.
  • Page 5 Accurate Matching to Main Speakers Rather than providing generic built-in crossover controls that can rarely achieve high quality blending of the subwoofer with main speakers, the SmartSub can be used when needed with a separate unit, either a dedicated passive crossover or the universal SmartSub Integrator.

  • Page 8: Crossover Use

    Crossover Use Do you require a crossover? Without a crossover the subwoofer will provide very high quality reproduction of the Low Frequency Effects (LFE), or “point 1”, channel of a multi channel sound system. When used with a crossover, the subwoofer can, in addition, also reproduce the low frequency part of the main channels in a 2 channel or multi channel music or video sound system.

  • Page 14: Fuse Replacement

    Fuse Replacement If the subwoofer is completely dead, with no indicator light on, the main fuse has probably blown and will need to be replaced. The fuse should be replaced only with an equivalent type. The fuse type is 5 x 20 mm size, slo-blow or time delay type, with a rating of 3.2 amp for 230 volt units and 6.3 amp for 115 volt units.
