Phase
Control
Switch
The Phase Control
is
used to synchronise any delay
between the
SilverW-12
and main/
satellite
speakers. When the
Silver
W-12
is
in
phase with the
main/satellite speakers
the sound
should
be
full
bodied. Sit
in
a
normal listening
position
whilst adjusting
the phase switch.
Help
from another person may be required. When set
correctly
the
location
of the subwoofer
should
be
almost undetectable.
Experimentation
is
recommended
in
order to achieve optimum results.
However it should
be noted
that
in
most cases the phase
control
switch
should
be set to
0
degrees, especially
when
using a
digital
AV
processor or
AV
receiver
amplifier.

Power
Mode
Switch
with
On-Auto
Facility
The
Power
Mode Switch has
two
positions:
'On'-'Auto'.
With the switch
in
the
'On'
position, the subwoofer
is
permanently
switched on under
all
conditions and
will
need to be
manually put into Standby mode. While
in
Standby mode, the W-12
may be woken by pressing the
EO
button.
In
the 'Auto' position the subwoofer
will automatically wake once
an
input
signal
is
received and
will
remain on while still
receiving a signal. The Silver W-12
will
switch into standby mode
following
a period
of
20
minutes without
an
LFE
signal. Refer to page 9 for further information.

12Vdc
For
external
power control
from
AV
amplifier/
receiver to the W-12. Monitor Audio
recommend using this function and a lead
is
supplied.
This 12
volt signal
is
generated
by the
AV
amp/receiver and tells the W-12
to
turn on from standby mode. This
allows
a more
accurately controlled auto on/off function, and
is
far more energy efficient.
When using the 12v trigger, the
Power
Mode Switch
(3)
must be
in
the
AUTO
position, for it
to
function
correctly.
5.
USB
Connector

is
provided to update the firmware within the W-12.
