ForceField Owner’s Manual SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SPECIFIC TO FORCEFIELD SUBWOOFER The cautionary marking label is located on back of subwoofer. POWER SUPPLY 1. 2. 3. The fuse and power disconnect device are located on the back of the subwoofer. The disconnect device is the power cord, detachable at either the speaker or the wall. The power cord must be disconnected from the subwoofer before servicing.
Subwoofer Installation Your new ForceField subwoofer contains a built-in amplifier and electronic crossover. Of the several ways to install your subwoofer, none is considered “better” than another; rather, each is best depending on what type of entertainment system you own and how you plan to integrate your subwoofer. Read these installation suggestions below to determine which options best suit your needs. Please take care to perform all wiring procedures with your system completely off.
ForceField Owner’s Manual 4. Figures A & B below highlight how bass output is generally affected by room placement. When seated in a typical listening area of your room, placing the subwoofer inside the “shaded” areas will typically result in best bass performance. Corner placement provides the most bass, but at the expense of accuracy. A subwoofer placed near a wall usually provides a good balance of quantity and accuracy.
In addition to the above mentioned setup for stereo subwoofers, some state-of-the-art home theater installations have begun to use a separate subwoofer placed in the rear of the room and we recommend this for the absolute ultimate in movie bass performance. When using two subwoofers, placing one in the front of the room and the other in the rear of the room usually provides the best bass performance and sonic integration.
ForceField Owner’s Manual Subwoofer Connection We recommend the use of high-quality cables and connectors when hooking up your subwoofer (see your dealer). INPUT CONFIGURATIONS Left/LFE Input (Line-Level RCA) – Allows connection from the Sub/LFE Output of an A/V receiver, processor or other suitable low-passed, low-level source.
Input Switch – Down position (LFE IN) for use with an A/V receiver, processor or subwoofer control unit that has a Sub-Out/LFE-Out jack, or up position (Left/Right In) when used in a stereo configuration with the Left/Right preamp outputs of an A/V receiver, processor or integrated amplifier. Auto On/Off – Your subwoofer will turn on when it receives an input signal — eliminating the need for a power switch. If no signal is sensed for a period of time, the subwoofer will automatically switch off.
ForceField Owner’s Manual Left and Right Inputs – For use in a stereo configuration using the Left/Right preamp outputs of your receiver, processor or integrated amplifier. Use RCA-to-RCA analog interconnect cables to connect the subwoofer and position the Input Switch in the LEFT/RIGHT IN (Up) position, as shown. In this configuration the subwoofer’s Lowpass Crossover control is now active, allowing a setting that matches the roll of your main speakers.
DUAL SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS Connection using Left/LFE Inputs – From your A/V receiver or preamp, attach a RCA-type “Y” connector to the Sub/LFE out (unless your receiver or processor has two Sub outs) and then run an RCA-type analog interconnect cable to each subwoofer’s LEFT/LFE Input. Select the LFE In (DOWN) position on the Input Select switch. For further setup instructions, refer to Bass Management System Setup section below.
ForceField Owner’s Manual FINE TUNING Once you have the rest of your speakers positioned in the room (and have set speaker distances and calibrated speaker levels with your Processor or A/V Receiver, if applicable) it’s time for a little fine tuning. (NOTE: Set tone or equalizer controls on your receiver or preamplifier to flat (or 0°) and switch any loudness controls off.) When setting up your subwoofer use music and video soundtracks that you know well.
Troubleshooting If you experience any difficulties with your ForceField subwoofers, try the suggestions described below. If you are still having problems, please consult your GoldenEar Authorized Dealer for assistance. 1. Make sure all your system interconnects and power cords are solidly in place. 2. Should you experience any level of ground hum or noise, try plugging the power cord into the same circuit as your amplifier. 3. The system is provided with sophisticated internal protection circuitry.
