3. Information for Set Up

Important information for set up

Acclimation:

Afterhavingunpackedyoursubwoofer,pleaseallowthesystemtoacclimate

tothetemperatureoftheroomforapproximatelyanhour.

Solid stand:

Itisimportanttoensurethesubwoofersitsrmlyonasolidsurface!

Transportation/packaging:

Werecommendthatyouretaintheoriginalpackaging,asitisthebestwayto

guaranteesafetransportationshouldtheneedtodosoarise(see).

Break-in time:

Please note that the subwoofers will take some break-in time to achieve

optimumsonicperformance.

Danger from high SPLs:

Exposure to high sound pressure levels may cause permanent hearing

loss!Pleasedonotgetclosetothesubwooferswhenusingthemathigh

volumes.

Placement:

Pleasenote,thatforaseamlessintegrationbetweenthesubwooferandthe

mainspeakers,placementisveryimportant(seep.7).

4. Quick Start / Connection

Before connecting the subwoofers to your audio components and the

power source make sure that both the subwoofer and your audio system

are switched off and set the level controls fully counterclockwise.

5. Subwoofer Placement

Itiscommonknowledgethatlowfrequencies(belowabout100Hz)arenon-

directional,meaningtheycanhardlybelocatedbythelistener.Itis,however,

acommonmisunderstandingthatthereforetheplacementofasubwoofer

doesnotmatter.Itdoesmatter.

Duetothefactthateveryroom(geometry,furniture,etc.)isunique,thefol-

lowingdescriptionsintendtobearstintroductiontothesubject.Theaimis

toassistyoutacklingthemostcommonproblemswithsubwoofersandroom

acoustics,notablyinterferenceandstandingwaves.

Distance to satellites

Inmostsetupsitisadvisabletoplacethesubwoofernottoofarfromthe

satellitestominimizethechanceofInterferences.Interferencemeansthe

superpositionoftwoormorewavesresultinginanattenuation/cancellation

orenhancementofthespecicfrequency/frequencies.

Furthermore,bigrefelexionfacesincloserangeofthesubwoofershouldbe

avoidedifpossible.

Walls/Distance to walls

Generally,everywallinrelativeclosedistancetothesubwooferenhances

itssoundpressurebyabout6dB.Forinstance,placingthesubwooferina

cornerofaroomwillmakeitabout18dBlouder.Itislikelythatthiswillresult

inanimpairmentoftheprecisionofthemusicalreproduction.

Another problem related to the geometrics of the room concerns the so

called‘standing waves’.Thesearesoundwavesbeingreciprocatedbetween

reectingobjects,sothey‘stand’(don’tseemtomove)inbetweentheseob-

jects.Thespeakercontinuestoproducenewwavesthatcombinesitsforce

withtherstwave(s):aviciouscirclethatresultsinlocalimbalancesofthe

particularfrequencies.

ADAMproductsaredesignedandmanufacturedtothehighestqualitystan-

dards.However,ifanyproblemswithyoursubwooferoccur,werecommend

toproceedasfollows:

Problem:Theunitdoesnotwork.

Pleasechecktheconnectionbetweenthesourceofpower(socket)and•

theACjack.

Checkifthesubwooferisswitchedon.•

Makesuretheelectriccircuitworks.•

Problem:TheLEDshowsnormaloperation(green)butthereiseitherno or

only a distorted audio signal.

Checkthevolumesofboththesubwooferandyoursignalsource.•

Checkthewiring.Isthecabledefective?Areallcablesconnectedcor-•

rectly?Ifpossible,checkwithnewcables.

Connect the subwoofer as directly to the signal source as possible•

(pleasemindthevolume!).Isanotherpartofthesignalpath(e.g.mixer,

subwoofer)defective?

Problem:Youhearparasitic noises(likehumming,buzzing,soughing,crack-

ing).

Pleasedisconnectthesignalcables.Ifthenoisesdisappear,checkthe•

signalpath.

Makesurethatallcablesareproperlyconnected,especiallythesignal•

cablebetweenthepreamp/mixingconsole/etc.andthesub.

Ifthenoisescanstillbeheard,checkforotherelectricaldevicescloseto•
