6.2 Adjusting Crossover Frequency

The TAVOR-8-SUB features an adjustable crossover frequency to seamlessly integrate with your main speakers.

• The CROSSOVER knob allows you to set the upper frequency limit at which the subwoofer will operate.
• If your main speakers are small, set the crossover frequency higher (e.g., 80-100 Hz) to allow the subwoofer to handle more of the mid-bass frequencies.
• If your main speakers are larger and can reproduce lower frequencies, set the crossover frequency lower (e.g., 50-60 Hz).
• Experiment with the setting to find the best blend between the subwoofer and your main speakers, aiming for a smooth transition without a noticeable gap or overlap in sound.

6.3 Fasebeheer

The phase switch (0°/180°) helps to ensure that the subwoofer's sound waves are in sync with your main speakers, preventing cancellation or reinforcement issues at the crossover point.

• Listen to music with strong bass content.
• Toggle the phase switch between 0° and 180°.
• Select the position that results in the most impactful and coherent bass response.

6.4 Auto Standby Feature

The TAVOR-8-SUB includes an auto standby feature. If no audio signal is detected for a period, the subwoofer will automatically enter a low-power standby mode. It will automatically power on when an audio signal is detected again.
