  • Page 5: Introduction

    M-Audio BX, CX, and DSM lines of active studio monitors, extending the low-frequency response of the total monitoring system down to 20Hz. Moreover, the versatile design of SBX10 allows it to work well with any combination of active studio monitors in a 2-channel stereo or multichannel surround environment.

  • Page 6: Variable Crossover

    A065484 3. Variable Crossover You can use SBX10 in a variety of monitoring contexts, from 2-channel to multichannel (e.g., 5.1, 7.1) systems, and as an accompaniment to practically any direct-field monitors. To this end, we have pro- vided a versatile yet efficient way to tailor the response of the subwoofer to work well in any typical monitoring system.

  • Page 7: Phase Select

    180° phase shift in the sub- woofer's output. This allows you a greater degree of freedom in choosing where to locate the SBX10 unit (and consequently, the crossover frequency phase alignment) in your monitoring environment. Note that the Phase Select function only affects the signal going to the subwoofer amplifier, and does not affect the signal going to your direct-field monitors.

  • Page 8: Xlr Outputs

    TRS Inputs (6). 11. Subwoofer Bypass/Defeat If you connect the enclosed footswitch to the Subwoofer Bypass jack on the back of the SBX10 subwoofer, you can use it selectively to bypass the low frequencies generated by the SBX10 subwoofer (including the amp, driver, and crossover), and send the full-bandwidth signal directly to your main monitors.

  • Page 9: Enclosure (Not Pictured)

    SBX10 includes thermal protection in its design, protecting it from overheating. If a critical temperature is reached, the SBX10 amplifier will temporarily shut off until the internal temperature returns to a lower level. While the subwoofer is in Thermal Protect mode, the LED Indicator (2) will illuminate solid red, and no audio will be heard from the subwoofer.

  • Page 10: Setting Up The Sbx10 Subwoofer

    Setting Up the SBX10 Subwoofer Connecting the Power AC Voltage Select: Since the SBX10 subwoofer contains its own amplifier, it must be connected to a power outlet using the detachable AC cable provided. Note that the AC Voltage Select switch (located below the IEC socket for the mains power cord) is user-selectable for 100-120V~50/60 Hz or 220-240V~50/60Hz operation.

  • Page 11: Adjusting The Back Panel Controls

    LFE (low-frequency effects) channel directly to the subwoofer with no additional signal redirection. In this scenario, you can route your subwoofer audio signal to either the left or right input on the SBX10 subwoofer. Further, you should bypass the subwoofer’s internal crossover by setting the crossover control to the 200Hz position (fully open).
  • Page 12 Volume (12) You should always send a line-level signal to the SBX10 inputs. When the volume control is all the way up, 85mV of pink noise at the input will produce 100dBA output SPL at one meter from the front baffle.

  • Page 13: Placing The Sbx10 Subwoofer

    As you can imagine, where you place the SBX10 subwoofer in your room can have a huge impact on how it will sound. In fact, any well-designed, powerful subwoofer can sound like a complete dud in your monitoring setup if you have placed it poorly.
