    Phase Control that allows the phase of the signal to be adjusted at 90˚, 180˚, or 270˚ incre- ments. The FA10.0 is a 10” (254mm) low frequency transducer that features a 2” (51mm) voice coil and is driven by a 30 oz. magnet. The FA12.0 is a 12” (305mm) low frequency transducer that features a 2.5”...
  • Page 7 MEHSA (Maximum Efficiency HeatSink Application) MEHSA is a proprietary process that yields up to 5 times better heat transfer than traditional FET mounting techniques using the exact same components. A multi-layer insulated metal substrate operating with minimal thermal resistance spreads heat both downward and outward to quickly dissipate heat from each device across the heatsink.
  • Page 8 Does your receiver have only speaker level outputs? No problem! Fosgate Audionics Speaker Level Input circuitry converts the speaker line outputs (high level) from your receiver into pre-amp line inputs (low level) for your Point Zero amplifier. This allows compatibility with a variety of receivers as well as the ability to retrofit your new Fosgate Audionics subwoofer into existing systems without the need for external adapters.

  • Page 10: Installation

    Installation Location The size of the room used for your Home Theater can have a significant effect on the bass response of your system. Since many movies exaggerate explosions, earthquakes, and other low frequency effects, a high performance subwoofer system is required. Your Fosgate Audionics subwoofer is specially designed for these high levels of excursion and linearity.

  • Page 13: Operation

    Operation Auto Turn-on / Sleep Mode The Fosgate Audionics subwoofers automatically turn on when they sense an input signal. When the signal being fed to the subwoofer is turned off, the subwoofer’s amplifier will turn off and go into “sleep mode.” This feature eliminates the inconvenience of operating a mechanical power switch. Input Sensitivity The Input Sensitivity is used to match the Point Zero series with signal levels from a variety of signal sources.

    5) With all speakers on, try the 0˚, -270˚, -180˚, and –90˚ degree phase settings. The setting with the highest SPL reading from your listening position will produce the most effective acoustic alignment. 6) Set the FA10.0/FA12.0/FA15.0 gain control according to your preference. This will not affect the acoustic alignment of your system.

  • Page 15: Ac Line

    AC Line The FA10.0/FA12.0/FA15.0 operate from a 115 VAC/60Hz power line. The FA10.0CE/FA12.0CE/FA15.0CE operate from a 230 VAC 50/60Hz power line. Connection is made by a 16 gauge, IEC Type 320, grounded line cord. For safety considerations only a properly grounded (earthed) receptacle should be used.
