Controls On Rear Panel - Adam Sub8 Operation Manual

5. Controls
5.2 Controls on the rear panel
a) Mode
This push button allows you to choose between
• Signal On: woofer starts operation as soon as a musical
signal arrives, and stops after 15 minutes without a signal.
• Continuous: the unit is permanently working.
We recommend the "Signal on" position. It minimises
power consumption and makes handling very easy.
b) Subwoofer Phase
With the Phase Switch you can alter the phase of the
subwoofer relative to the satellites. That means to change
the polarity of the bass unit. Depending on the distance
between woofer and satellites, either 0° or 180° may
be the better position. We recommend to try out what
position sounds better within your system.
c) Satellite Filter
The satellites in a system can be driven full range or with a
85 Hz high pass as recommended by Dolby® laboratories
for use in surround set-ups. Recommendation: If possible
the main signal should go into the Subwoofer. Connect
your satellites to the Subwoofer output, either via XLR
symmetrical or RCA asymmetrical. In many cases, clarity
and dynamic range of the speakers can be improved if
they do not reproduce very low frequencies since they do
not have to deliver big amplitudes.
