1. Welcome Thank you for buying the Final Sound S220 subwoofer. The S220 is carefully hand built using the finest materials available and is designed for maximum performance. This manual contains important safety information as well as helpful advice and should be carefully studied before use.

The amplifier is a 220W RMS class D design. It features large storage, oversized power supply capacitors, and a large external aluminum heat sink to ensure long-term cool operation.
Phase adjustment is critical to get proper subwoofer/speaker integration. The Low Pass control has a roll-off range from 40 Hz to 200 Hz. For use with Final Sound electrostatic panels the crossover is typically set to the lowest frequency an applied panel can produce.
