The speaker wire is the only contact the speaker has with the amplifier. If thin, low quality cable, such as "lamp cord" is used, then the overall sound quality will suffer. This is true, particularly in lengths of 10 feet or more, so we strongly recommend the use of high quality speaker cable to obtain the best performance from your speakers. • SUBWOOFER INPUT Using the low level RCA subwoofer output of a receiver, processor, or crossover. This connection is used when you are using an Athena Technologies® subwoofer separately. Or if you wish to use the pre-amp signals from your Receiver or Processor as opposed to the high-level connection method described above. Connect a single RCA to RCA interconnect cable to the "subwoofer output" jack from your receiver or processor to the RCA "subwoofer input" on the rear panel of the subwoofer. In this case, the main speakers must be connected directly to the receiver as described above in the "High Level Connecting the Speakers" section. Please read the "Subwoofer Controls" section to ensure all the controls are set-up correctly for this purpose. • SUBWOOFER CONTROLS "Bass Level" Control This rotary control adjusts the output level of your Athena Technologies® subwoofer and should be used to balance the level of the subwoofer with that of your main speakers. owners manual owners manual "Bass Range" Control This rotary control adjusts the high frequency roll-off of the subwoofer. Continuously variable from 50Hz to 150Hz, it is used to precisely match the subwoofer bass reproduction with that of your main speakers. • MODE SWITCH (Models P2 and P3) The P2, and P3 subwoofers are equipped with 2 preset equalization settings designed for the S2 and S3 speakers. The switch has 3 positions in total. These settings create a perfect blend between the subwoofer and the main speaker. Either of these two settings will bypass the Bass Range and Blend controls of the sub because they are no longer needed, but use of the Bass Level control is still possible. The following chart explains how to set the switch and under what circumstance. S2 Position: Used when you combine with a S2 speaker S3 Position: Used when you combine with a S3 speaker SUB Position: Used when you combine with a S1, C1, another brand of loudspeaker, or when used as a separate subwoofer independently of the main speakers. Set the mode switch to the proper speaker setting to match the speaker you own. If you use the S1 or C1 speakers with the P2 or P3 subwoofers, you must use the "SUB" position, and manually adjust the Bass Range, Bass Level, and Blend controls until you are satisfied with the results, just like a typical powered subwoofer. HINT: The Bass Range is the most important control, as it determines the "blending" of the speaker with the powered subwoofer. • MODE SWITCH (Model P1) The P1 subwoofer offers a two position switch. One setting for blending with the S1 or C1, and the other for separate subwoofer use. Please adhere to the following chart. S1/C1 Position: For use with either the S1, or C1 speaker SUB Position: For use with any other loudspeaker, or when used as a separate subwoofer independently of the main speakers. Blend Control This 2 position switch allows perfect phase matching of the subwoofer with that of your main speakers. With a choice of 0 or 180 degrees, it compensates for the mid-bass acoustic effects of different speaker locations and listening room effects. Use of this control is only permitted when the "MODE" Switch is in the "Sub" Position, and should only be used when the bass frequencies seem lacking. HINT: Have someone adjust the switch while you sit in your listening position. Its difficult to hear any changes when standing directly beside the subwoofer. • SET UP CALIBRATION (When the Mode is in ‘Sub’ position only) For best results when setting up your system, assume your normal listening position and, if possible, have another person perform the following adjustments. 1. Set the Bass Level Control to its Zero position. Set the Bass Range Control to 50Hz. Set the loudness and bass controls on your preamplifier or processor to their "flat" positions. 2. Play a familiar piece of music or video soundtrack that has substantial bass content. 3. Gradually turn the Bass Level Control clockwise until you ac...
