• GAIN (Volume): Adjusts the output level of the subwoofer. Start with a low setting and gradually increase until the bass blends seamlessly with your main speakers.
• LOW-PASS (Crossover): This control sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. If using an AV receiver with LFE output, set this to LFE (or bypass if available on your receiver). If connecting via stereo RCA, adjust this to blend with your main speakers' low-frequency cutoff.
• FASE (0°/180°): Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer output relative to your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the one that provides the most impactful and coherent bass.
• POWER (ON/AUTO/OFF):
  • OP: Subwoofer remains continuously on.
  • VOERTUIG: Subwoofer automatically turns on when an audio signal is detected and enters a low-power standby mode after a period of inactivity.
  • AF: Subwoofer is powered off.

  The 1/2-watt standby mode in AUTO setting ensures exceptional efficiency and reduces energy costs.
