PSB subwoofers are designed to provide the attest possible frequency response, full bass extension, low distortion and high output. Beyond these characteristics there are a few other parameters that we feel are very important in the design of a subwoofer. First and foremost, a PSB subwoofer must be musical. A subwoofer should also have the ability to play musically even when overloaded or stressed.
Connections and Controls 1 BASS LEVEL Adjust the output level of the subwoofer. This is not intended as a day-to-day volume control. 2 CROSSOVER Adjust the upper limit of the subwoofer’s frequency range with a continuous variable range from 50Hz to 150Hz. This allows for precise matching of subwoofer bass reproduction with the main (left and right) stereo speakers.
10 AC POWER SOCKET Supplies AC power to the PSB subwoofer. Connect the supplied power cord to the AC Power socket. Plug the other end of the power cord into any standard wall outlet. Utilize the same receptacle as the rest of the system or another on the same electrical circuit to prevent ground hum.
Room Acoustics If you are critical about low-frequency response, there’s quite a bit of useful experimentation you can do, especially in combination with the crossover, level, and phase controls of our subwoofers. Begin by considering the size of the listening room. The larger the volume of air a speaker must move, the more acoustic output is required to achieve the sound levels you want.
Cycling through steps 3 and 4 several times with slightly different settings of both the Subwoofer Bass Level and Crossover control will help you get the most musical performance from your PSB Subwoofer and your system. The best combination is that which yields the...
No sound/Status light All PSB subwoofers utilize signal sensing auto on/off circuitry. If no signal is sent to the remains red subwoofer, it will not power up and the on/standby indicator will remain red. When using the subwoofer output of a receiver or processor, no signal may be immediately present in this output.
