QUICK-START SUBWOOFER SETUP
STEP 7
PHASE and POLARITY:
This synchronizes the in/out
movement of the subwoofer cone driver with the other speakers in your
system. Once you have chosen the best location for your subwoofer, try
rotating the phase dial in 1/8 turn increments starting at 0 until you reach
180 and then switch to Polarity to 180 and repeat the process to see if
one of these settings produces deeper and smoother bass output in your
room. Once complete, move the dial back to the position that resulted
in the smoothest and deepest bass at several listening locations in the
room. If you hear no difference, leave the dial and the polarity switch at
the 0 position. Quite often the phase dial and polarity switch makes little
difference, but it's dependent on your particular room's dimensions and
subwoofer location.
STEP 8
SUBSONIC: Setting this switch to "ON" inserts a 20-Hz cut-off
filter in the subwoofer's bass response to prevent the subwoofer from
reproducing frequencies below 20 Hz, which may include rumble from
studio air conditioning, subways or other undesirable artifacts. If you
play vinyl discs from a turntable, set this switch to "ON" to prevent the
subwoofer from reproducing turntable rumble and low-frequency record-
warp anomalies.
Leave this switch set to "OFF" for all other digital recordings and DVD
sound tracks that contain ultra-deep bass frequencies you want the
subwoofer to accurately reproduce.
STEP 9
GROUND LOOP: If your subwoofer is producing a 50 or 60 Hz
hum it is likely due to a ground loop. This is caused by a difference
in potential between the grounds of your receiver or pre-amp and the
subwoofer through your house wiring. If this occurs remove the Chassis
Ground Screw. If this does not remove the hum, contact your local
Bryston dealer for advise.
POWER INDICATOR: The LED Power indicator glows Green
when the subwoofer is powered on and Red when a trigger signal is
connected and in the "off" mode

QUICK-START SUBWOOFER SETUP
Subwoofer Placement
The amount of deep bass you get from your new subwoofer will be quite
dependent on proper location in your particular room, the room's dimensions,
and the location of your listening area. You can't easily change your room
or its dimensions, so it's worthwhile finding the best location that will let your
subwoofer deliver its optimum performance---smooth, deep and powerful bass
to your seating area.
The subwoofer does NOT have to be at the front of the room with your main
stereo speakers. Deep bass below 80 Hz is not directional, so it doesn't matter if
the subwoofer faces you or is at the side or back of the room. Now get ready to
do the tried-and-true "subwoofer crawl."
Move your subwoofer as close as you can to where you sit. If it's a chair, move
the chair aside and place the sub where the chair was. If it's a couch, slide the
couch temporarily out of the way and put the sub about where you usually sit.
Play a DVD movie with lots of low-frequency effects or a CD with plenty of deep
bass in the music, the kind that really kicks your sub into motion.
Now crawl around the room in the general area where you were thinking of
locating the sub or even in areas that you didn't think of. Go several yards in
each direction--near the wall, out from the wall, towards a corner, away from the
corner, and so on on all four walls--while you listen for smooth and extended
bass response. At some locations, the bass may seem really exaggerated and
boomy. In other spots, it may almost disappear.

Pick a location somewhere between these extremes. That's it! Mark
the spot with some masking tape then move the subwoofer into that
position. Now put the furniture back.
Test the technique by playing the same deep bass selections, only
this time sit in your favorite chair (where the subwoofer was). The
deep bass should sound just like it did at the place where the sub
now sits. You see, it works!
Foot Installation
The Model TS-12 Subwoofer comes pre-assembled with large
non-marring feet. Optionally you may install the included spike
feet by removing the large feet using the provided allen wrench.
Install the spike feet and tighten securely in the inserts provided at
the bottom of the speaker.
For speaker leveling, the height of both types of feet can be
adjusted by turning the top portion of the foot up or down the
thread. To adjust the height, loosen the foot from the bottom of the
speaker and turn the top portion to the desired height. Retighten
the foot securely. An allen wrench may be needed to secure the
bottom of the round foot while adjusting the height.
