Subwoofer Owner’s Manual: Rhino-Ten Rhino-Twelve Rhino-Fifteen 2009 PINNACLE LOUDSPEAKERS
® We congratulate and thank you for choosing a PINNACLE subwoofer. Our subwoofers exemplify the best in modern audio technology, and are designed to produce remarkable amounts of deep bass. Please read this manual completely to ensure the best possible performance from your Home Theater or sound system. SOLID BRASS ISOLATION CONES: Please make sure to install the Solid Brass Isolation Cones into the bottom of your subwoofer cabinet.
CONNECTIONS: Complete all wire connections in your Home Theater / sound system before powering up your subwoofer or your receiver (amplifier). Be sure to observe proper polarity for all speaker wire connections (+ to +, - to -). To obtain the best performance, use only speaker wire of 12, 14, or 16 gauge (available from your dealer). Lightweight speaker wire (18, 20, 22 gauge, etc.) will result in degraded performance; 16 gauge wire may be used for short runs of about 8 feet or less.
• If your receiver has no subwoofer output jack but has pre-amp left & right channel outputs you can connect your subwoofer directly to your receiver's pre-amp outputs using the L & R Line Input jacks. If your receiver uses jumpers to connect its pre-amp outputs with its amp stage inputs you will need to acquire two splitter cables (such as Radio Shack #42-2535) to be able to hookup your sub while continuing to provide a signal to your receiver's amp stage inputs.
There are two reasons to use this connection option. The first is if your receiver has no subwoofer output jack! The second is if your system would benefit from having the bass filtered out of the main speakers (if you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver you can achieve the same results electronically simply by configuring your main speakers as SMALL and connecting your sub using an RCA cable - see Connection Option #1).
• Adjust the PHASE switch on the subwoofer’s control panel to determine which position sounds the most natural. The difference should be most audible in the mid-bass. If you cannot detect a difference, leave the PHASE switch in the 0° (in-phase) position. • If you have placed your subwoofer's Crossover Bypass switch in the OFF position adjust the CROSSOVER knob and determine what position sounds best. This feature controls the output level of the mid and upper bass frequencies.
• With high volume levels of certain types of signals, the subwoofer may be audibly strained. If you hear the subwoofer “breaking-up” or distorting, turn your receiver’s volume level down. • ® If you have any problems or questions please contact your PINNACLE dealer for further assistance.
