User manual ACOUSTIC ENERGY AELITE SUBWOOFER

[. . . ] Adhere to all warnings on the product or in this manual. Power sources - The subwoofer should be connected only to a power supply of the type described on its rear panel. If you are not sure consult your dealer or a qualified electrician. Power cord - Power supply cords should be routed so as not to be walked on or caught under or against items. [. . . ] Power indicator light This indicator lights green when the power is switched ON, and lights red when in STANDBY mode. Power cord socket Connect the cord supplied to a 110-120V or 220-240V AC main power outlets. Positioning The AELITE Sub is virtually omni-directional, so it can be positioned in almost any location in the room. For the best performance in the ideal room the subwoofer should be positioned in a corner of the room or near a back wall. In certain circumstances the addition of a second AELITE Sub located in another position in the room helps to achieve a more uniform bass. The use of two subwoofers often provides a greater than expected increase in sound quality and bass dynamics, worth more than the additional cost would suggest. If two AELITE Subs are used, they should ideally be positioned in the corners near the respective units of the stereo loudspeaker pair. This subwoofer may be installed using the four rubber feet or spikes with lock nuts, both supplied. It should not be placed directly onto the floor since the reflex port is firing to the ground. When positioned correctly ensure space is left to the rear of the subwoofer since all operation switches are on the rear panel. Connections Check that both your amplifier and subwoofer are switched off before connection. Failure to do so may result in speaker or amplifier damage. It is sometimes recommended that over-long low cost cables are used initially to facilitate experimentation with positioning, and only then purchase and install using the final cable choice. For use with amplifiers having a subwoofer Out jack: Connect from the dedicated subwoofer line output on the amplifier to the line input(s) on the AELITE Sub. (A single lead to either input or a `Y' connector to both inputs may be used). The stereo speakers are run direct for higher definition. ACO USTIC ENERGY Connections 2. For use with amplifiers having line level pre-amp jacks: The pre-amp outputs of your amplifier can be connected to the line-level inputs on the AELITE Sub. The line level outputs on the AELITE Sub are then connected back to the power amp (main) inputs on your amplifier. This provides the greatest power handling for the stereo speakers. For use with amplifiers not having either a subwoofer Out jack or Line level pre-amp jack Using speaker cable from the speaker terminals on your amplifier, connect to the Hi-level speaker input terminals on the AELITE Sub, and then a further set of cables from the Hi-level output terminals to your main stereo/satellite speakers. (The stereo speakers receive the original amplified signal minus the frequencies used by the subwoofer). This provides greatest power handling for the system with good overall performance. ACO USTIC ENERGY ACO USTIC ENERGY Connections 4. For use with televisions with a variable audio output. Some of the latest televisions are equipped with variable audio out puts.
