L/C/R or surround positions in a surround sound system. Bass EQ: Provides the ability to maximize the TR-1D / TR-3D’s performance in your room by giving you the option of adding 3 or 6dB more bass. Remember, more bass isn’t always the goal with a high-quality audio system.

A low-pass filter does exactly what its name implies. It determines the frequency below which signal is passed. Set to 50Hz, the TR-1D / TR-3D will reproduce bass below 50Hz. Set to 180Hz, it will reproduce bass and lower midrange below 180Hz. Set this control based upon the frequency range capabilities of the other speakers in your system as outlined below.

(more detailed information is available on our website). Be sure to set the TR-1D / TR-3D’s crossover bypass switch to Bypass, which eliminates the internal crossover in the subwoofer and makes your electronics bass management settings the default mode.

Because a subwoofer, by definition, reproduces bass below the main speaker, set the TR-1D / 3D’s crossover frequency control to 55Hz in our example. Remember that a –3dB spec already includes 3dB of rolloff. Use such a figure merely as a starting place for the crossover control.

In such a hookup, connect the speaker wires from your amplifier/receivers’ speaker output connectors to the TR-1D / TR-3D High Level In binding posts, then connect another set of speaker wires from the subwoofer’s corresponding channel High Level Out terminals to the input terminals of the appropriate speaker.

Control Settings and Connecting Your TR-1D / TR-3D Fuse: This fuse protects the TR subwoofers from abnormal power conditions. It’s located under a small cover as part of the AC line cord socket. Use only a T2.5A 250V fuse when operating on 115V. Use only a T1.5A 250V fuse when operating on 230V.
Subwoofer Placement (and Potential Domestic Bliss) Another Important Note: The following information and further placement and acoustic recommendations in this manual are based upon our desire for you to enjoy the best possible performance from your AGA audio system. Of course, we realize that there are other, possibly more important, considerations when it comes to placing your system components, not the least of which may be aesthetics and domestic tranquility.
2. While the TR-1D / TR-3D has been designed to deliver an excellent listening experience by itself, research has shown the use of two subwoofers has the potential to enhance your system’s performance by providing smoother, more consistent, low-frequency in-room response.

The Advantage of Using Multiple Subwoofers All Anthony Gallo Acoustics subwoofers were designed to be used singly or in multiples. With a single subwoofer, both left and right signals are combined (either at the subwoofer input or at the receiver/processor output).

Subwoofer Placement (and Potential Domestic Bliss) 3. At a moderately loud level, play music or a video soundtrack with extended bass that is repetitive or continuous. 4. Walk around your room and note where the bass sounds good and where it sounds boomy or very quiet.
TR-1D Specifications Operation Note: If the TR-1D / TR-3D is driven very hard, the amplifier can become quite warm. Should this occur, the amplifier will temporarily shut down in order to protect itself. This protection feature can be reset by simply waiting a few minutes and then cycling the power switch to Off and then Auto.
