Spiked

Foot

Assembly

For

Carpeted

Floors

The Silver spiked foot assembly incorporates a spike for use on carpeted floors and also,

a soft polymer pad (for use on wooden or tiled floors).

Please ensure there are no hidden wires underthe carpetthat could be damaged

ill

by the spikes.

the carpet into the floor. With great care turn

your cabinet the right way up. Place the

point and check again.

Continuethis process until the cabinet

recommend using this function and a lead

supplied. This 12 volt signal

generated

by the

amp/receiver and tells the W-12

turn on from standby mode. This allows

a more accurately controlled auto on/off function, and

far more energy efficient.

provided within the fuse holder for replacement. If you wish to change the fuse, you

can

this by removing the

Initial

Set

Leave the Silver W-12 unplugged from the mains until all signal cables

are connected.

The

W-12

be sited

the most suitable position, preferably not directly

achieved it

important

check if the cables are long enough

Never connect or disconnect the RCA input/ output leads with the Silver

W-12

switched on.

For initial setting up, put the Power Mode Switch

the 'On' position and leave the 12v

trigger cable disconnected.

Once the input (and output if necessary) cables are connected and the power mode

switch is

the On position, the W-12 can be connected

the mains power supply and

switched on at the mains power switch.

NOTE:

Please run the APC before running the automatic room set up ofyour

amplifier.

button to

activate a room measurement. This will flash cyan and a series oftones will be heard.

If it doesn't get a good enough reading, the

button

LED

will blink

red

and the

sub will run the test tones again until it gets

accurate enough measurement. The

LED

will then blink green, then purple (processing the equalisation) and

off. The

Calibration button will be flashing blue indicating that it needs to run a second and

third set of tones.

Repeat step 2

the subwoofer.

Good locations for the 2nd and 3rd measurements would be 1m

the immediate

left and right ofthe initial listening position.

The subwoofer will then calculate the error between the current listening position and the

ideal frequency response ofthe system, then calculate and apply digital filters to optimise

the listening experience for the room.

When it has completed the APC the Calibration Button
