3. Configuración e conexións

Proper setup is crucial for achieving the best sound quality from your subwoofer. Follow these steps for installation:

3.1 Colocación

The placement of your subwoofer significantly impacts its performance. Experiment with different locations in your room to find the optimal spot. Generally, placing the subwoofer in a corner can enhance bass output, but may also lead to boomy sound. Placing it along a wall or near your main speakers can provide a more balanced sound. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.

3.2 Conexión do subwoofer

The SUB1015 offers both RCA line-level and speaker-level inputs for compatibility with various audio systems.

RCA Line-Level Input (Recommended)

If your AV receiver or pre-amplifier has a dedicated subwoofer output (often labeled LFE, Sub Out, or Pre-Out Sub), use an RCA cable to connect this output to the LINE INPUT (LFE) on the subwoofer's rear panel. This method typically provides the best performance and control.

Connect the speaker outputs from your ampmáis vivo para o ENTRADA A NIVEL DE ALTAVOCES terminals on the subwoofer. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). You can then connect your main speakers to the SAÍDA DE NIVEL DE ALTOFALANTE terminals on the subwoofer, or directly to your amplifier if your main speakers are full-range.

3.3 Conexión de alimentación

Once all audio connections are made, connect the supplied AC power cord to the subwoofer's power inlet and then to a suitable wall outlet. The subwoofer is designed for 230 Volts input.
