ADAM AUDIO Sub8 [9/32] Controls

Sub8 Manual / english

On the front side you will ﬁnd two potentiometers, one for the volume and

one for the crossover frequency. Both the volume and the frequency can

also be controlled by the remote control. On the rear side, there are more

controls (satellite ﬁlter, phase switch, mode). The following tips are intended

to assist you at using the controls in the best manner.

5.1 Controls on the front panel and Remote control

a) Volume

Input Sensitivity control from -60 dB to +6 dB relative

to 775 mV when used via the symmetrical XLR input

or relative to 250 mV when used via the asymmetrical

Cinch (RCA) input.

b) Frequency

The upper frequency limit of the unit is variable and can

be set to any value between 50 and 150Hz. The 85Hz

marker indicates the recommendation of Dolby® labs for

surround sound settings. In many cases, a slightly lower

crossover frequency delivers tighter bass response, for

typical near-midﬁeld monitors we recommend 70 to

75Hz as upper limit (i.e. -3 dB point in the frequency

response).

Please note: If you alter the frequency it is advisable to

check if an alteration of the phase improves the sound

quality.
