level matches that of the other speakers.
Adjust the volume of the subwoofer with the controls on the subwoofer

° The test tone is produced by the tone generator.
The tone generator produces a narrow-band noise centered on a specified frequency by
the band pass filter.
° You can change this center frequency from 35 Hz through 250 Hz in one-sixth octave
steps.
° You can use the test tone not only for adjusting the subwoofer level, but also for
checking the low-frequency characteristics of your listening room. Low-frequency
sounds are especially affected by the listener's position, speaker placement, subwoofer
polarity and other conditions.
