Important Safety Instructions 1. Read these instructions. 2. Keep these instructions. 3. Heed all warnings. 4. Follow all instructions. 5. Do not use this apparatus with water. 6. Clean only with a dry cloth. Great care and attention has gone into the materials chosen to produce the AW-12. A gentle wipe with a dry, clean cloth is all that is required to remove any dust. Treat it as you would a fine piece of furniture because that is how they have been designed. 7. Do not block any ventilation openings.
WARNING • TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE • TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE • TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE PLUG TO WIDE SLOT AND FULLY INSERT.
Unpacking Care must be taken at all times when handling the AW-12 due to the weight of the product. We recommend a two-person lift wherever appropriate. A feature of the AW-12 is the exposed drive unit. Great care must be exercised at all times to ensure it is not damaged during unpacking and when finally sited in the room. Any physical damaged caused to the drive unit by not complying with this requirement will not be covered by warranty. The feet/spike assemblies are attached to your product ready to use.
Amp Panel & Controls 1 2 3 4 9 5 6 10 7 8 11 11a 12 13 monitoraudio.co.
1. Stand-by / On Indicator The LED indicates whether the unit is in stand-by mode or operational. It will be illuminated red when in stand-by, and green when operational 2. Crossover Frequency Control The crossover frequency control only operates when the low pass filter switch (refer to section 3.) is in the ‘In’ position. This control feature is used to set the upper frequency limit (low pass) of the AW-12.
8. RCA Line Level Outputs (Left & Right) RCA line level outputs are provided in order to use other sub woofers in conjunction with the AW-12 by ‘daisy chain’ type connection. The outputs are link out only connections and do not provide any form of filtering. 9. Warning Information See warning information on page 3 10.Mains Power Switch The Mains Power Switch should be switched to the ‘Off’ position when the AW-12 will not be used for extended periods.
Positioning/Initial Set Up Leave the AW-12 unplugged from the mains until the installation procedure is completed. The AW-12 should now be sited in the most suitable position, preferably not directly in the corner of a room as this may cause excessive bass boom. Once a desirable position is achieved it is important to check if the cables are long enough to reach comfortably without being under tension. The optimal control settings will depend entirely on your system configuration.
