We’ve been designing, engineering and creating speakers at our Denmark headquarters since 1977, and ever since we started we’ve been pouring advanced R&D technology into every model.

Installation Listening Room 1/4 1/2 3/4 1/4 1/2 3/4 Installation Positioning Impact of Room-modes Although the position of subwoofers in the listening room is generally less critical than full-range speakers, we still recommend that you select your Sub 6 position carefully. With careful positioning the subwoofer will integrate a lot of trial-and-error experimentation. Always trust your ears, even if the position of the subwoofer seemingly goes against the guidelines.
Installation Subwoofer distance Left speaker distance Positioning Possibilities Moving the subwoofer closer to walls and corners in particular will generally increase the amount of bass. Although the extra amount of bass can be compensated for by reducing the volume level of the subwoofer relative to the rest of the system, this can result in uneven bass response at the listening position.
Installation Sub 6 Mains and Signal Connections The Sub 6 is fitted on its rear face with a connection and control panel carrying mains, signal and connection sockets. The panel is illustrated in Diagram 3 and its connection facilities are described in the following paragraphs. Diagrams illustration various signal connection schemes can also be found on the following pages. 1. Mains power socket. Connect the subwoofer to a mains power supply using the cable supplied.
Installation Sub 6 Connections Schemes The four connection schemes illustrated here cover most common installations. R L Connection Scheme 1 • Unbalanced (phono) connection from preamplifier/processor to subwoofer inputs. • Unbalanced connection from subwoofer outputs to power amplifier and passive main speakers. R Service Auto ON/OFF Trigger in Right out Right in Left out Left in L Max.
Configuration and Use Subwoofer Control Rotary controller: Rotate to select. Press to confirm. Configuration and Use With the Sub 6 subwoofer positioned in the listening room and connected to signal cables and mains power it can be switched on via the mains switch above the mains input socket on the rear panel. The Sub 6 must be configured appropriately for the audio system and main speakers with which it is to be used.
Sub 6 Configuration Menus 2 filter settings. 28 Subwoofer filter frequency set too low A dip in the system response will occurs if the filter frequency of the subwoofer is set too low – perhaps with small main speakers that do not have extended bass response. The result will be missing musical information and a thin overall sound.
Configuration and Use Sub 6 Configuration Menus 4 Sub 6 In Use • Auto standby: Select to specify the delay time before the subwoofer will switch to Standby mode when unused. The auto standby feature can also be switched off. Once installed and configured, your Sub 6 should require little attention other than perhaps occasional volume control adjustment to suit different types of programme material. • Line Wake-up: Select to enable or disable trigger input switch on.
Sub 6 Troubleshooting Matrix Configuration and Use Sub 6 Specification Problem Cause Solution Data The subwoofer switches itself off although music is playing. There is hardly any low-frequency signal available. This can happen if the music or movie itself does not contain very low frequencies (e.g. long dialogues). • The subwoofer will switch on automatically as soon as low frequency signals are detected.
