Congratulations! You are now the proud new owner of an Ohm Micro Powered Subwoofer!
Following are the simple instructions for installation. It will take some experimenting with room placement to optimize the performance
in your home. Do this at your leisure with a variety of material. No one set-up is best for all rooms.
Placing the subwoofer:
If you are using one single subwoofer, the single best place to put it is up front, directly in between your two main front speakers. This
is because the delay between the sound coming from your subwoofer and your two mains will be the smallest from the greatest number of
listening positions.
If you are using two subwoofers, they should ideally be placed directly beneath your main speakers and act as stands. If, as is often the
case, your main speakers are too tall to be used in this manner, an acceptable compromise is to set the subwoofers on the floor beside
your main speakers. This placement will produce near perfect time alignment which will make your brain perceive the sound from the
subwoofer and the main speaker as coming from a single source.
Many room equalization DSP (digital signal processing) systems exist for subwoofers; some of them are specifically designed to
compensate for the time delay problems inherent in deviating from the above instructions. While you are not discouraged from
experimenting with them, you should be aware that the more DSP you use to compensate for poor placement, the smaller the area may
become from which you can enjoy the best possible reproduction.
Your subwoofer(s) come(s) equipped with four casters, including two locking casters with a switch on one side. While positioning your
subwoofer, make sure that these switches are lifted, allowing all four casters to roll freely. Once the subwoofer is in position, lock these
two casters so that the subwoofer won't walk.
Before hooking up your subwoofer or any speaker, make sure that the amplifier/receiver that you are connecting to it is powered
down. This includes the amplifier on the back of your subwoofer: make sure the switch is turned off and the subwoofer is
unplugged from the A/C in your home. Once all the signal connections have been made, make sure you dial the volume all the way
down on all devices before turning them on. Then, slowly roll the volume up to "dial in" the desired level.
