Introduction

Boston Acoustics SoundWare Sub

Thank you for choosing Boston Acoustics. The SoundWare Sub incorporate high-quality components that produce the

famous Boston Sound. The subwoofer is ideally suited for use in a high-quality 5.1 channel home theater or stereo music

system. It is capable of impressive deep bass and high output from remarkably compact enclosures. In addition, they feature

BassTrac®, a proprietary Boston-designed circuit that tracks the input signal to the subwoofer and prevents its amplier from

being driven into audible distortion. The benet: the bass stays clean and strong at any listening level.

SoundWare Sub is designed to look as good as it sounds. Its sleek, modern design provides an additional advantage – it can

be used as a front-ring speaker with a striking angular prole, or it can easily be changed to a downward-ring conguration.

The paint-ready cabinet lets you customize the appearance of the SoundWare Sub to either blend into your decor or stand

out as a functional, sculptural element in your room.

Unpacking the System

Carefully unpack the subwoofer. If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or

delivery service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use. Be sure to keep your purchase receipt in a

safe place, as it may be required for warranty purposes.

SoundWare Sub Conguration

The SoundWare Sub comes from the factory congured as a forward-ring speaker. If you prefer, you can easily convert it to a

downward ring conguration. To use the SoundWare Sub in the forward-ring conguration, place it on the cabinet surface

that has the Boston logo. A oor pad is provided that should be used if the Sub is placed on a hard oor, or a oor that has

a thin or unpadded carpet or rug. If the Sub is placed on a oor that has a thicker, padded carpet, the oor pad may not be

needed.

To recongure the SoundWare Sub remove the grille by grasping the edges and pulling it o the cabinet. You’ll see four

recessed cups in the front of the cabinet where the posts that hold the grill in place had been. Screw the four supplied feet

into these cups. Then carefully turn the Sub over and set it on the feet.

Caution: Do not push in on the cone of the speaker while conguring the Sub. That could cause damage that is not covered

by the warranty

position with the oor pad under it.

To convert to downward-ring conguration,

remove the grille, install the four feet . . .

. . . then turn the unit over so

the woofer is facing down.

Placement

Place the subwoofer next to a wall or in a corner near your main speakers. The sound is typically best when the subwoofer is

within 15 feet (4.5m) of the main speakers. The sharp 24dB/octave crossover roll-o permits placement farther from the main

speakers if necessary. Since the ear is unable to localize the low frequencies of the subwoofer, the bass still appears to come

from the main speakers. Experimentation is key, however most positions in the room will work well.

Connections

other components in the system are turned o. Also be sure to turn o the Sub and all other system components any time

you change the system connections.

Power Connection

Connect the supplied power cord to the power input on the

SoundWare Sub amplier panel. Plug the cord directly into

a wall outlet or some other dedicated power outlet. Do

not use an extension cord unless it is a very heavy

duty cord intended for high power applications.

Do not use a multi-outlet power strip or surge

protector unless it is capable of handling high

power levels. If a heavy duty power strip or

surge protector is used, do not connect

any other components to it.

Never connect the SoundWare Sub power cord to an auxiliary power outlet on another component. These power outlets do

not provide adequate amounts of power, or the proper isolation required.

Warning: Connecting the SoundWare Sub to an inappropriate power source increases the risk of re and damage to the

system components.

The level of bass output from the subwoofer will vary at dierent positions in a room. When placed near walls, its loudness is

emphasized. Corner placement provides the most bass output. Placement completely away from walls may produce too little

bass. Regardless of the natural bass level within the room you will always have the ability to adjust the level of the subwoofer

with the built in volume control. If you move the subwoofer you may need to adjust the control settings to get the best

performance.

Audio Signal Input

The audio signal from the system goes in to the Line In connector on the SoundWare Sub amplier panel. In some systems

that signal will come from a surround sound processor or an A/V receiver that has a dedicated subwoofer or LFE output. In

other systems the signal will come from the preamp output of a conventional stereo component.

contained in digitally-encoded soundtracks. Dolby® Pro Logic® receivers, and some stereo receivers, have a similar output.

Use a single RCA cable (not supplied), as shown, to connect your digital receiver’s LFE subwoofer output to the SoundWare

Sub Line In connector.

The signal from a subwoofer or LFE output has been ltered so it contains only very low frequency sound. The crossover in

the SoundWare Sub is not needed. Turn the Crossover control all the way up to the 180 Hz position.

In this type of system the audio adjustments are controlled by the receiver or sound processor. Usually these adjustments are

made with on-screen menus. Some of the adjustments you should set include:

Subwoofer On/O - Be sure the subwoofer output is turned on.

Crossover Frequency-Seethe“InitialControlSettings”sectionthatfollows.

Subwoofer Volume - Set this to the mid-point of the control range. Then use the SoundWare Sub volume control to

make nal adjustments. If you cannot get enough bass from the Sub, adjust this control to a higher setting.

Some receivers or sound processors may have other controls. Consult your receiver instruction manual for additional

information.

Connecting to Preamp Outputs – If the electronics in your system does not have a subwoofer or LFE output you can

connect the SoundWare Sub to a preamp output. You’ll need a Y-adapter (not supplied) to combine the left and right preamp

outputs. Connect a single RCA cable (not supplied) from the Y-adapter to the Line In of the Sub.

Operation

After you have made all the system connections, turn on the power switch of the SoundWare Sub. Note the Status LED to the

left of the Crossover control. When the Sub is connected to a power outlet it will light red to indicate Standby status, or green

to indicate the amplier is on.

TheSoundWareSubamplierhasa“signalsensing”circuit.WhentheLine In(put) receives an audio signal the amplier turns

itself on. If there is no audio signal input the amplier goes into Standby mode after a few minutes. So all you need to do is

provide power and an audio signal. The Sub takes care of the rest.

Control Adjustments

The subwoofer crossover frequency and volume level, need to be set to achieve a smooth and balanced main speaker-to-

subwoofer transition. The crossover frequency and subwoofer volume adjustments may be done by the system electronics (in

systems that have home theatre receivers or sound processors) or by using the SoundWare Sub controls. The SoundWare Sub

Polarity control also aects the acoustical transition, but often in a more subtle way. After the basic controls settings are done,

the nal adjustments should be made while listening carefully to the system. The controls are somewhat interactive. After

making the rst set of adjustments, use the system for while with a variety of audio sources. Then go through the adjustment

sequence again to see if further improvements can be made.

Initial Control Settings

Using either the system electronics or the SoundWare Sub Crossover control, set the subwoofer crossover frequency about

10 Hz higher than the low frequency limit of the main speakers in the system. If the crossover frequency is set by the system

electronics, turn the Sub’s Crossover control all the way up to the 180 Hz position.

Turn the SoundWare Sub Volume control up about half way, around the 12 o’clock position. If the system electronics also has

a subwoofer volume control, set it at about the middle of its control range.

Final Adjustments

The best nal settings of the subwoofer crossover frequency and volume level controls depends on many factors. The system

electronics, speakers locations, your listening location, and the room acoustics all aect which control settings produce the

best results. Careful listening and control adjustments are needed.

Choose several sound sources that have a balanced, broad range of sounds – a steady but not predominant bass line, some

vocal content, a variety of instruments, some percussion. Listen to the selections and adjust the SoundWare Sub volume

control until the bass sound is in balance with the rest of the sound range. Do not set the bass volume too high to achieve

“impressive”sound.Thatwillmakeinstrumentsandvoicessound“muddy”or“thick”andovertimewillbecometiresome.

Once you have good main speaker-to-subwoofer balance, listen to the transition range to ne tune the crossover frequency.

Low male voices are often good for this evaluation. Listen for certain parts of the lower sound that may seem to stand out.

This indicates there is too much overlap between the main speakers and the Sub. Try adjusting the crossover frequency about

10Hzlowerandreevaluatethesound.Conversely,ifapartofthelowersoundrangeseems“weak”or“hollow”,trysettingthe

crossover frequency about 10 Hz higher.

While adjusting the crossover frequency also try changing the Polarity switch position. That can make the transition better,

or worse, or make relatively little dierence. Listen carefully and set this switch to provide the fullest, most dynamic bass. The

eect of the Polarity switch will be most audible on low-frequency percussion instruments or music with a continuously

repeating bass line.

Maintenance and Service

The SoundWare Sub enclosure may be cleaned using a soft cloth to remove ngerprints or to wipe o dust. All wiring

connections should be inspected and cleaned or remade at least once a year.

If a problem does occur, make sure that all connections are properly made, secure and clean. In the event that your

speakers ever need service, contact your local Boston Acoustics dealer or visit www.bostonacoustics.com/dealers for a list

of dealers in your area.
