CONTROLS Low-Pass Filter The Low-Pass Filter lets you adjust the Low-Pass frequency for the left and right inputs. The Low-Pass filter value sets the point where the subwoofer will begin to “roll off” or gradually reduce its output. You do not want your subwoofer playing sounds that are too high in frequency, nor do you want to give your subwoofer too little content to play.

Phase continued If you are using the subwoofer to augment other Paradigm products, we suggest starting with the phase set at 0°. In a system where phase and polarity are properly set, the main speakers and subwoofer should work together and sound as if there is more total bass in the system. If your main speakers and subwoofers are out of phase their sound waves will cancel each other and total bass output in the system will sound decreased.
AUDIO SIGNAL CONNECTIONS Line Level Input (Left In / Right In) Connect from the Main Out/Pre Out/Sub Out on your receiver/pre-amp/electronic device. The setting for the Low-Pass Filter control is applied to the signal received through these inputs unless the Low-Pass filter control is set to Bypass.
PLACEMENT Placement As a starting point, we recommend placing the subwoofer in one of the shaded areas below. The corners will typically yield the highest output, while the front wall near the speakers typically provides the most seamless blend with the main speakers. When using multiple subwoofers try to place them in opposite corners or opposite walls in order to help spread the bass into the room more evenly.
