This manual covers four a/d/s/ powered subwoofer models. The C10ps and the C12ps use 10 and 12-inch subwoofers in sealed enclosures. The HT10ps and the HT12ps also use 10 and 12-inch drivers respectively, and feature precision-tuned bandpass enclosures for enhanced low-frequency performance. The C-series subwoofers have an attractive black matte finish that blends well into most decors.
placement Unlike higher frequency sound, our ears have difficulty locating the source of deep bass sound. Consequently, you have a fair amount of flexibility in where you place the subwoofer in your listening room. We recommend placing the subwoofer at the same end of the room as the main speakers. Avoid placing the subwoofer close to the main listening area or behind it.
system connection There are two ways the subwoofer can be connected to the other components in the system. If the electronics in the system consists of a separate preamp and power amp or integrated electronics that have preamp/power amp jumpers, use the low level (preamp level) inputs and outputs of the subwoofer (See below).
power connection and power switch operation Note: Read and follow all of the cautions, warnings and notes listed on page 1.

With some program material it may be difficult to hear the subwoofer, especially at low volume levels. Turn up the volume control or the bass tone control to make the deep bass sound more obvious. Popular, electronically produced music has more bass energy than acoustic music and will make the sound of the subwoofer more prominent.
