Page 7: Speaker Placement
Speaker Placement Since the human ear is rather poor at localizing radiation frequencies below 125 Hz, good results may be obtained in a variety of room placements. Careful adjustment of the convenient rear panel controls will lead to seamless transition. Low frequency reinforcement occurs whenever woofers are placed near room boundaries. - Page 8 Speaker Placement Now, while such reinforcement might actually be beneficial at very low frequencies, excessive excitation can cause “overhang” or a droning effect at mid-bass frequencies. A way to minimize excitation of these resonances is to place your subwoofer asymmetrically relative to room boundaries.

Page 9: Hooking Up Cables
Hooking Up Cables When using the low-level inputs, we suggest using cables that are no longer than 5 meters. Longer lengths of RCA cable can result in greater noise and attenuation of the signal. These can be connected to the outputs of your preamplifier or dedicated LFE output. - Page 10 Hooking Up Cables When utilizing the speaker level inputs, the ideal conductor would have negligible resistance, inductance and capacitance. 12 AWG wire or larger is recommended. In summary, there are no perfect cables. The best way to approximate the ideal would be to keep loudspeaker leads as short as is practical.

If using Left/Right output jacks from the preamp, the internal circuit module of the Pro 12 will sum the two channels together. When using the left and right low level inputs on the subwoofer, the internal crossover of the subwoofer is being used. The crossover frequency and level will be controlled by the appropriately labeled controls on the rear panel of the sub. - Page 12 Connect the preamp/processor’s “sub out” to the left channel RCA input (mono). Option 3: Connecting the Pro 12 using the High Level Inputs (from amplifier) If using the high level inputs it is highly recommended that you connect them in parallel with your main left and right loudspeakers.

Speaker Connections Powering Up the Pro 12 1. Power Cable: The supplied power cable will plug into the socket on the back terminal plate of the unit. NOTE: Try to plug into the same AC circuit as the rest of your audio system, as this will avoid hum from ground loops. -

Freq.: This control allows you to adjust the low frequency information. The crossover frequency range of Pro 12 is 40 Hz -200 Hz. -
Page 15: Fine Tuning
Fine Tuning Phase (0 °/-180 °): This control is essential in the proper setup of your subwoofer. If not set up properly, your main speakers and subwoofer can actually work against each other. If operating out of phase the subwoofer and mains will cancel, creating nulls at some frequencies (primarily upper bass). -
