7. OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES

As with all Final products, the S100 is designed to provide the highest level of performance . However, the S100 still
has limits that should be observed .
If the S100 begins to overload or heavily distort, turn down the bass or volume .
If the S100 overwhelms the output of the main speakers, turn down the volume .
If the main speakers sound strained, raise the S100 crossover frequency .
If the bass sounds loose or dislocated, adjust the phase or placement of the subwoofer until the problem disappears .
Placement of the subwoofer within the room is critical to the operation of the S100 . Recommended locations
include the center of the front wall, either front corner, or the center of the side walls .
If the S100 malfunctions, turn the subwoofer off and on . If the problem persists, contact your dealer for additional
troubleshooting .
