1. AutoRoom EQ: For AutoRoom EQ starts the same way as the current TSEQ subwoofer. We have
removed the option to manually adjust the EQ on this product. The EQ Led will blink till the EQ is
complete
2. EQ On-OFF We have removed the EQ authority switch on this model and changed it to EQ-ON EQ-
OFF switch. So the user will have an option of either having the EQ ON or OFF.
3. 12V trigger: We just have the barrier jack for 12V trigger.
4. Output: On the output there is an option Bypass and 85Hz High pass. This output can be used for
full range speakers or other 2 channel setup. In the Bypass option full range signal will be passed to the
speakers. In case of 85Hz high pass, only 85hz and above will be passed on to the speakers.
5. Slave output: Slave output will be used to add more than one subwoofer to the system. In this case
the 1st subwoofer will control the EQ for the system, volume for the system, phase for the system and
frequency for the system. Slave subwoofers will lose all those controls.
