5. Opsette

5.1 Pleatsing

Optimal placement of the subwoofer is crucial for sound quality. Consider the following:

• Keamerakoestyk: Bass response is heavily influenced by room boundaries. Experiment with placement to find the best balance.
• Tichtby muorren: Placing the subwoofer closer to walls or corners can increase bass output, but may also lead to muddiness.
• Cardioid Setup: For advanced setups, consider using multiple subwoofers in a cardioid configuration to reduce rearward sound radiation. Refer to the "Operating" section for DSP settings.

5.2 Ferbinings

1. Power Connection: Connect the supplied power cable to the subwoofer's power inlet and then to a grounded AC power outlet.
2. Audio-ynfier: Connect your audio source (e.g., mixer, full-range speaker output) to the Input (L/R) XLR/TRS combo jacks on the subwoofer's control panel.
3. Audio Thru (Optional): If you are connecting full-range speakers, use the Thru (L/R) XLR outputs to send the signal to your main speakers. The signal passed through is unfiltered.
