ADAM AUDIO Sub8 [10/32] Controls

5.2 Controls on the rear panel

a) Mode

This push button allows you to choose between

• Signal On: woofer starts operation as soon as a musical

signal arrives, and stops after 15 minutes without a signal.

• Continuous: the unit is permanently working.

We recommend the ”Signal on” position. It minimises

power consumption and makes handling very easy.

b) Subwoofer Phase

With the Phase Switch you can alter the phase of the

subwoofer relative to the satellites. That means to change

the polarity of the bass unit. Depending on the distance

between woofer and satellites, either 0° or 180° may

be the better position. We recommend to try out what

position sounds better within your system.

c) Satellite Filter

The satellites in a system can be driven full range or with a

85 Hz high pass as recommended by Dolby® laboratories

for use in surround set-ups. Recommendation: If possible

the main signal should go into the Subwoofer. Connect

your satellites to the Subwoofer output, either via XLR

symmetrical or RCA asymmetrical. In many cases, clarity

and dynamic range of the speakers can be improved if

they do not reproduce very low frequencies since they do

not have to deliver big amplitudes.
