Page 5: Introduction
We are confident that you will continue to enjoy your new Tannoy Definition Subwoofer for many years to come. UNPACKING To unpack the Subwoofer, remove the tape from the top of the carton then fold the flaps right back before inverting the carton and contents. Lift the carton clear of the contents, then remove all inner packaging. Check carefully for any sign of transit damage. In this unlikely event, notify your shipping company and/or dealer as soon as possible for advice. It is recommended you store all the packaging to allow protected transport in future. Ensure that the following accessories are present: • Mains cord appropriate to your country of use. POSITIONING The performance of any subwoofer is greatly influenced by the room placement. Corner placement will increase the amount of bass by using either of the corners next to the front channel loudspeakers. Placing centrally along this wall will result in less bass, while moving the subwoofer out into the room will give less bass still. Be prepared to experiment with both position and the subwoofer controls to get the best results. Remember that the function of a subwoofer is to enhance the output of your main speakers, not overpower it. CONNECTING TO YOUR SYSTEM ALWAYS MAKE AND CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS BEFORE PLUGGING THE SUBWOOFER INTO THE MAINS. LINE LEVEL INPUTS For use with an AV receiver or DVD receiver, connect a screened phono cable from the receiver SUB output to either RIGHT or LEFT low level phono input on the rear of the Subwoofer. If you are using the Subwoofer with a 2 channel or stereo system and your preamplifier has a spare set of outputs, connect left and right to the Subwoofer L and R inputs using screened phono cables. Alternatively, for AV equipment or stereo preamplifiers that offer balanced operation, connection may alternatively be made using the XLR input(s). HIGH-PASS OUTPUTS These are provided for stereo applications to feed your main loudspeaker pair power amplifier. This function will roll off the lower frequencies to your loudspeakers, to give a seamless integration to the Subwoofer. Again, connectivity is by phono or balanced XLR connections.

Page 6: Controls And Adjustments
‘Hi- LEVEL’, to optimise the range of the volume adjustment (see Specifications). Adjustments are by means of the rotary encoder on the display panel. Functions are selected by either turning the control, or single and double clicking. The full menu structure and operation is explained in the FUNCTION CHART. • VOLUME - This enables the output level to be set in 1 dB steps from -100 dB to 0 dB. • HIGH-PASS - This enables or disables the HIGH-PASS output sockets, and provides a low frequency roll off, when used with a pair of stereo loudspeakers at either 12 of 24 dB per octave, variable between 31- 125 Hz. • LOW-PASS - This is used to adjust the Subwoofer’s upper frequency limit to achieve a correct balance with the main speakers. An adjustment range of 31 Hz to 125 Hz is provided, again with 12 or 24 dB per octave filtering. For use in LFE mode (Low Frequency Effects), where the filters in the AV receiver are left to set the transition to the main speakers, generally the LOW-PASS filter should be set to disabled. This is the most common form of operation, but refer to the manual of your AV receiver for more details. Sometimes, in a difficult acoustic environment, it is beneficial to provide additional filtering within using the Subwoofer’s controls, even though the AV receiver has been set in LFE mode. • PHASE - This can be adjusted between 0 degrees (in phase) to 180 degrees (fully out of phase), in 15 degree increments. The correct setting depends on room acoustics and the position of the Subwoofer in the room. Starting with the 0 degrees setting, then the 180 degree setting, see which one results in the greatest amount of bass at the listening position, being aware that all bass frequencies should sound evenly balanced. This is generally easier to achieve using music. If neither setting is satisfactory, try the intermediate settings. • PARAMETRIC EQUALISER - Two equalisers are provided to give a boost or cut to a narrow range of frequencies to compensate for room effects or to suit individual taste, and either or both may be enabled or disabled. A centre frequency may be set between 31- 125 Hz, with a range of -12 to +3 dB. Q or sharpness of the boost or cut may be adjusted between 2.0 and 14.4, lower values representing a wider frequency range, and higher ones a narrower range. • PRESET - This function enables any of the above adjustments to be saved or loaded in 3 memory locations. The user, for example may have different preferences for music, movies or late night listening. GRILLES The side speaker grille assemblies are attached by hidden magnets, and can be removed if desired. CARE OF CABINET Clean only with a soft dry cloth. 06_ DEFINITION SUBWOOFER OWNER’S MANUAL... -
