This product, as with all the Bronze BR range, is hand crafted from top to bottom using traditional woodworking skills for our sumptuous cabinets, married with the state of the art technology of our renowned drive units. Music is and should be a natural enhancement of life. It stimulates the imagination, changes your mood, helps you relax, and provides endless hours of entertainment. [. . . ] Stand-by / On Indicator The LED indicates whether the unit is in stand-by mode or operational. 2. RCA Line Level Inputs (Left & Right) This is the only method of signal input connection to the BRW-10. When using a stereo amplifier system, connection can be provided by a pair of high-quality signal cables from the pre-out section of an amplifier. If a digital A/V processor or A/V receiver/amplifier is to be used, a single cable can be connected from the `sub out' or LFE connection on the amplifier to the RCA input connection on the BRW-10 labelled `R'. The RCA input marked `L' in this case will remain unused. Note: - cable lengths should not exceed 10 metres to avoid interference from other electrical appliances. 3. Volume Control This control allows the level or volume to be adjusted in order to achieve a balanced overall sound. To use this facility you will need to play a selection of familiar music or film excerpts. Start with the volume at minimum and increase the level control until a balanced sound is established. If using an A/V processor or A/V receiver amplifier, the system can adjusted by the test tone function within the set-up features. (Refer to the set up section in the A/V processor or A/V receiver amplifier user guide. ) When the BRW-10 is correctly set-up, you should not be able to identify its location easily in the room. 4. Crossover Frequency Control The crossover frequency control only operates when the low pass filter switch (refer to section 3. ) is in the `In' position. The crossover frequency control is used to set the upper frequency limit (low pass) of the BRW-10. The crossover control should be set in accordance with the size or bass output of the main/satellite speakers. Refer to the chart below as a guide to setting the crossover frequency control to the optimum position. Much will depend on the correct low frequency response of the main speakers and their position in your room. Experimentation is advisable. Type of main speaker Large floor-standing speaker Small floor-standing speaker Large stand-mount/ bookshelf speaker Small stand-mount/ bookshelf speaker Small satellite speaker Crossover control setting 40-60 Hz 50-70Hz 50-80 Hz 60-90 Hz 80-160 Hz 5. Phase Control Switch The Phase Control is used to synchronise any delay between the BRW-10 and main/satellite speakers. When the BRW-10 is in phase with the main/satellite speakers the sound should be full bodied. Sit in a normal listening position whilst adjusting the phase switch. Help from another person may be required in order to do this easily. When set correctly the location of the subwoofer should be almost undetectable.
