A WORD OF
ADVICE
Inspect your subwoofer carefully after unpacking. If it has been damaged in transit,
call your dealer or the trucking firm that delivered it for instructions on how to file
a claim.
NOTE: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making connections.
CONNECTING
THE
SUBWOOFER WITH SATELLITES
The Micro Subwoofer is a passive subwoofer (does not have a power amplifier built
into the enclosure) and can be used with any quality stereo integrated amplifier,
receiver, or separate components. Observe the following procedures for installing the
subwoofer.
1. Connect Left and Right OUTPUTS of your amplifier to the corresponding Left and
Right INPUT terminals on the subwoofer.
2. Connect satellites to the Left and Right OUTPUT terminals on the subwoofer.
3. Observe polarity.
4. Refer
to
diagram below
for hook-up instructions.

The performance of the Micro subwoofer is directly related to it’s position in the
listening room. At times, moving the subwoofer merely an inch or two can make a
significant difference in the way it will sound.
If bass response is judged to be light, move the subwoofer closer to a comer. The comer
enhances the subwoofer’s ability to couple to the room and will create more bass. If
bass response is judged too heavy, move the subwoofer away from the wall or comer.
The subwoofer does not have to be positioned between the two satellites for best overall
sonic balance. It may be placed anywhere it sounds best. Low frequencies are non-
directional which means you can place the subwoofer either in the middle or to the
left or right of the satellites and obtain optimum bass balance. Experimentation by
positioning the subwoofer in several different locations will reveal which position
yields optimum results.
NOTE: The subwoofer may be mounted vertically or horizontally, but do not mount
it so the port faces the floor. The port must remain unobstructed for proper
performance.
It is not advisable to operate the Micro Subwoofer (and satellites) with the tone controls
of your
stereo
system set to maximum boost. In fact, it is always good practice to keep
the tone controls set to reasonable boost levels because excessive bass and treble can
damage your satellites as well as the subwoofer.
