RCC 300 FREESTANDING SUBWOOFER (RCC300-FS) SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT AND ORIENTATION The RCC 300 Freestanding Subwoofer comes with four rubber feet to attach to the side of your choice. Carefully decide what placement and orientation are best for the subwoofer, the supplied rubber feet are not removable once applied. The classical rule for subwoofer placement is that the subwoofer should be placed near the same wall the front channels are located, at one-third of the total distance of the wall.
RCC 300 SUBWOOFER AMPLIFIER (RCC300-SA) The RCC 300 Subwoofer Amplifier can be installed into either cabinetry, on an equipment shelf, or it can be rack-mounted into a standard 19” Equipment Rack. In any installation be sure to provide adequate ventilation around the amplifier. The RCC300-SA has two simple and conveniently placed mode settings. The Music or Movie user controls are located on the front panel for selection based on the source material.

Press this button in and it will spring out into a rotating knob, press it back in to hide it. The front panel gain control will become the master gain control until the remote is used. NOTE: The amplifier by default will resume to the last setting by either gain control device. DIM – This button controls the brightness of the Halo lighting on the front panel.

EQ MODES – Automatic Room Mode Correction (ARMC) The amplifier comes from the factory set to BYPASS. This setting produces a flat frequency response at the subwoofer module. In some cases your room response may benefit from ARMC. Eigen-modes, also known as room modes, exist in all rooms. These room modes are an interaction between the listening room itself, the location of the subwoofer, and the low frequency wavelengths being on the same order as the room dimensions.
