Page 8: Proprietary Aga Technology
Proprietary AGA Technology The Classico Series was designed from the outset to deliver the exceptional performance for which AGA has become famous, yet to present a more traditional look. This makes it easy to incorporate our Classico series in practically any environment. The unique technology used in these AGA products was specifically developed by Anthony Gallo and cannot be found in any other subwoofers. -
Page 9: Clc-10 / 12 Subwoofer Highlight Features
CLS-10 / 12 Subwoofer Highlight Features Internal Crossover Bypass: Lets you set the crossover for your satellite speakers in your preamplifier, surround sound receiver, or processor while bypassing the internal crossover in the CLS-10 / 12. This method, detailed further in the manual, is ideal if you’re using compact speakers in your system. There can also be benefit to this method even if you’re using larger speakers, as we’ll detail below. -
Page 10: Installation
Additional Items Required for Installation The following additional items may be required when installing your Classico CLS-10 / 12 and connecting it to your system: Connecting Wire: If you are connecting through Line level, you will need at least one appropriate- length, high-quality, RCA-type unbalanced audio cable. -

Clockwise rotation increases the subwoofer output, counter-clockwise decreases it. You should only need to set this control once, after you’ve installed the CLS-10 / 12 in its final position (re-check the level after break-in).
- Page 13 CLS-10 / 12 Subwoofer Controls and Connections Line-in/Line-out, Speaker-In/Speaker-Out (or Low-Level/High-Level Connections) Line Level Connections: These are the most commonly used inputs. If you have a contemporary surround sound receiver or processor, it will have outputs labeled “LFE” or “Subwoofer.” Often this is a single RCA jack.

As noted above, enter your receiver or surround processor setup menu and select Small for the speakers. Then enter the bass-management section of the menu and set the crossover to between 100 and 120Hz for the Nucleus®...
- Page 15 CLS-10 / 12 Subwoofer Controls and Connections The 100Hz filter mentioned above allows bass management at speaker level. The built-in filter subtracts bass below 100Hz from your satellite speakers and should be used if your receiver or amplifier lacks bass management and you don’t want to run the satellites full range. Running very small satellite speakers at high levels, full range, risks damaging them.

Dual Subwoofer Connections Connection Using High-Level (Speaker-Wire) Inputs: Instead of running Left and Right Channel speaker cables from your receiver or amplifier to both subwoofers, you can run the Left Channel to one sub- woofer and the Right Channel to the other.

Page 17: Subwoofer Placement (And Potential Domestic Bliss)
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. -
Page 18: General Subwoofwer Placement Recommendations
Subwoofer Placement (and Potential Domestic Bliss) General Subwoofer Placement Recommendations (Assuming a Rectangular Room): 1. Every boundary surface (wall, floor, etc.) directly next to which you put the sub results in more apparent bass in the room. Corner placement (three boundary surfaces) provides maximum apparent output from the sub. - Page 19 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).
- Page 20 Subwoofer Placement (and Potential Domestic Bliss) 2. Connect and place one subwoofer by moving your primary listening chair aside and placing the subwoofer exactly where you normally sit. (Follow directions for connection, as outlined above.) 3. At a moderately loud level, play music or a video soundtrack with extended bass that is repetitive or continuous.

Operation Note: The Classico subwoofers are designed to be self cooling as the air that moves in and out of the BLAST port passes over the amplifier’s heat sinks.
