  If your ELAC Subwoofer has no audible signal, there are several things you can check: * First, verify the mains connection, switch, plugs, and socket. * Ensure the POWER switch is in the AUTO or ON position, not OFF. * Check the input connections and, if possible, replace the RCA cables. Also, check the signal source by testing if another audio component connected to the same source is working correctly. * Finally, check and replace the mains fuse if necessary.

Why is the output level too low on my ELAC SUB 2030 Subwoofer?
- A
  Andre MitchellJul 30, 2025
  If the output level of your ELAC Subwoofer is too low, it might be due to a low output level from the source (pre-amp, surround decoder). To resolve this: * Increase the output level of the pre-amp (minimum 0.2 Volts). * Reduce the power amp to compensate, or slightly reduce the gain for the main (center, effect) speakers. * Increase the master volume to compensate.

Why is my ELAC Subwoofer making a loud hum?

  Christopher BellAug 4, 2025
  A loud hum from your ELAC subwoofer is often due to contact problems with the RCA connector or adapter extensions. Check all connections and reduce the level on the ELAC sub to -30dB. You might need to adjust the outer rings of the RCA plugs.

What to do if my ELAC SUB 2030 Subwoofer sound during loud tracks is somewhat distorted?

  If the sound from your ELAC Subwoofer is distorted during loud tracks, especially with buzzing noises in surround mode, it could be that the center or effect speakers are being overdriven by their power amps. Reduce the center or effect level at the surround decoder and use the center mode ‘normal’.

Why is the max output slightly too low on my ELAC SUB 2030 Subwoofer?
- J
  Jonathan NelsonAug 12, 2025
  If the maximum output of your ELAC Subwoofer is slightly too low, especially in a living room setting, it might be because the subwoofer placement is too 'open'. Try placing the subwoofer in front of a wall or in a corner.

  To address uneven sound from your ELAC Subwoofer, experiment with the phase control adjuster. If adjusting the phase doesn't make a difference, try moving the subwoofer by 0.5 – 2 meters and then re-evaluate the sound.

What to do if my ELAC Subwoofer has a soft hum during pauses?
- M
  Mark JohnsonAug 21, 2025
  If you notice a soft hum from your ELAC sub during pauses, it could be due to a hum from the source or a ground loop with RCA multi-connections. To check the ELAC sub for inherent hum: switch POWER to OFF, disconnect all inputs, then switch to ON with normal settings. With your ear near the speaker, there may be a slight hum, but none should be audible at the listening position.
