Page 3: Safety Tips
Safety Tips The S2/12t is a powered subwoofer with a built-in amplifier: it needs to be connected to a power socket that is always on. Make sure that you are providing the correct voltage, and keep the S2/12t away from water and direct heat. -
Page 4: S Ubwoofer
S2/12t’s dual inputs can also be connected so as to augment both surround and rear channels. If you are using only one S2/12t for just the LFE channel, place it in one corner of the room. Try all available corners and pick the one that sounds best. -
Page 5: S2/12T
Connect the high level thru from one of the surround (rear) speakers to one of the High Level Inputs of the S2/12t, and the thru from the other surround (rear) speaker to the other S2/12t High Level Input. Connect the LFE output of the surround processor to the LFE Input of the S2/12t. - Page 6 LFE to both rear corners of the room. Connect the high level thru from the surround speaker to one set of high level inputs on the S2/12t and the high level thru from the rear speaker to the other.
- Page 7 “YES”. Then, connect the sub-woofer (LFE) line-level output from the processor to either the single-ended RCA or balanced XLR “LFE IN” connector on the S2/12t. Do not use both inputs at the same time. We recommend that single-ended interconnects be no longer than 10 feet (3m).
- Page 8 If you are forced to use an extension cord, make certain that it is as heavy duty (a minimum wire thickness of 12 gauge), an extension cord as you can find. The S2/12t running at full tilt can draw up to 8 8 8 8...

This is why we provide balanced inputs on the S2/12t. Balanced interconnects can be as long as you like. (See page 7.) If your preamplifier has only one set of balanced outputs and one set of unbalanced (RCA) type outputs, choose your first preference of connection for the amplifier that is driving your loudspeaker. -

S2/12t. Push the switch down to 180º. Please note that if you have a phase inverting power amplifier and have inverted the phase on the S2/12t, AND you are using both line- level and speaker-level inputs, you must invert the phase of the speaker-level inputs. - Page 11 One idea that we would like to suggest is that you set the S2/12t’s bass gain controls for music, and use your processor to turn it up or down for home theater.

Page 12: The Main Control
The voice and the music accompaniment should sound as if it were cut from one cloth, not separate. If the voice sounds “thin” or does not have enough “chest” to its sound, turn the S2/12t’s bass gain control up until it does. You may also want... - Page 13 This will extend the response of the S2/12t into the upper bass regions without affecting the low bass level.

Hence, it should be set-up separately from the main speaker augmentation function. A simple way to set up the S2/12t for LFE is to use the test and level signal available in most home theater processors and multi-channel players, and test discs. -

~ÄëçäìíÉ=Ñ áÇÉäáíó™ The Technology The Servo Advantage Very few loudspeakers use servo drive, either because most designers think that it is too difficult to design, too expensive, or because of the extraordinary demands a servo system makes on the amplifier and the transducer. -
Page 16: The Transducers
The lowest break-up mode (where there can be any chance of distortion at all) is at 6,000Hz – far above the 25Hz to 120Hz frequency response of the S2/12t. Therefore, the driver is a perfect piston within the frequencies used, and exhibits very low cone-... -
