5. Configuración
5.1 Colocación
Subwoofer placement significantly impacts bass performance. Experiment with different locations in your room to find the best balance of output and smoothness. Common placement options include:
- Colocación de cantos: Often provides the most output but can sometimes lead to boomy bass.
- Front Wall Placement: Near the main speakers, can improve integration with the front soundstage.
- Mid-Room Placement: Can offer smoother bass response but may require more power.
Consider using the 'subwoofer crawl' method: place the subwoofer in your primary listening position, play bass-heavy music, and crawl around the room to find where the bass sounds best. That location is often ideal for the subwoofer.
5.2 Conexión ao sistema
Ensure all audio equipment is powered off before making connections.
RCA/XLR Connection (Recommended for AV Receivers)
- Connect an RCA or XLR cable from your AV receiver's 'Subwoofer Out' or 'LFE Out' to the corresponding RCA or XLR input on the DS1200 subwoofer.
- If using a stereo pre-amplifier with a dedicated subwoofer output, connect it similarly.
Speaker-Level Connection (For Ampamplificadores sen saída de subwoofer)
- Conecte os cables dos altofalantes do seu amplifier's left and right speaker outputs to the 'Speaker Level Input' terminals on the DS1200.
- Then, connect your main speakers to the 'Speaker Level Output' terminals on the DS1200. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
5.3 Conexión de alimentación
- Connect the included power cord to the power inlet on the rear of the subwoofer.
- Conecte o outro extremo do cable de alimentación a unha toma de corrente alterna axeitada.
