Whichever PSB subwoofer you have chosen, we hope that you appreciate the attention
to detail that has gone into its design. Please take the time to read the following sections
about the placement of your subwoofer, its connections and adjustments. Enjoy your
PSB subwoofer.
III. QUICKSTART
If you cannot wait to hear your new PSB subwoofer, then:
Turn off all other components and follow one of the connection diagrams. Connect the
supplied power cord to the AC power socket. Set the PSB subwoofer volume control
to its minimum position (counterclockwise), and then plug the subwoofer into an active
AC outlet. Use the same receptacle as the rest of your audio/video system or another
on the same electrical circuit in order to avoid ground hum. Set the subwoofer’s Sub
Cut-Off Frequency control to its midpoint and set the phase switch or control to 0°. Flip
the Power Switch to the on position. Play bass-rich material, and slowly bring up the
Sub Volume control (clockwise) until the subwoofer contributes a natural level of low
frequency sound. Now please read the rest of this guide and ne-tune your installation
accordingly—it will be time well spent!
IV. FEATURES, CONTROLS, AC POWER
VOLUME CONTROL
Adjusts the output level of the PSB subwoofer only: This is
not intended as a day-to-day volume control. See “VII Setup
Calibration”.
CROSSOVER FREQUENCY CONTROL
Adjusts the upper limit of the subwoofer’s frequency range.
Continuously variable from 50Hz to 150Hz for precise matching of
subwoofer bass reproduction with the main (left and right) stereo
speakers. See “VII Setup Calibration”.
For LFE input setting, position crossover control to LFE (where
applicable).
ON/STANDBY INDICATOR LIGHT
The light is located on the front or back of the subwoofer,
depending on model. With both the 120 and 230 volt versions, the
subwoofer is initially in stand-by mode awaiting the presence of
an audio signal. This status is indicated by a red light. When the
subwoofer receives an audio signal the indicator light colour will
change to green. With no audio signal, the subwoofer will stay on
for approximately 15 minutes.
