T0consumeslessthan0.5wattsofpower.WhenmusicissenttoasleepingT0ittakesabout3
secondsfortheampliertotransitionoutofsleepmodeandstartplayingmusic.IftheT0isinidle
mode(notinsleepbutnotplayingmusic)itdrawsabout6.5wattsofpower.Whenmusicissentto
anidleT0themusicstartsplayingalmostimmediately.

totheShelvedDSPsettingwithasubwooferconnectedisthecongurationwhichwillresultinthe
loudestpossiblemusicfromtheT0.

stereooutputwiththeactivespeaker(theonewiththevolumeknob)beingtherightchannel.If
yousettheT0totheoptionalMonomodetheinput’sleftandrightchannelsaresummedtogether
andthesamecontentisoutputtobothspeakers.UsetheMonomodeifyouwanttotakejustthe
activespeakerwithyoutothegaragetoworkonyourcarbutdon’twanttobothertakingboth
speakers.JustsettheT0tomonomode,plugintheactivespeakerintopower,andpushmusicto
thespeakerwithyourBluetoothonyourphone.Ifyouwanttoincludeyourpassivespeakerinthe
Monomodethat’sOKtoo.
Auto Input Switch setting—InthedefaultsettingwhentheT0goestosleepitwillautomatically
resettheinputselectiontotheAutoInputSwitchmode.Thiswayifsomeoneinyourfamilyuses
theremotecontroltoselectaspecicinputthenanhourlateryouwalkintheroomyouwillalways
knowthatsendingmusiconanyinputwillbringtheunitoutofsleepmodeandyourmusicwill
play.MostpeopleshouldleavetheT0inthissetting.
IntheoptionalsettingwhentheT0goestosleepitwillnotchangetheinputselection.Tobring
theT0outofsleepmodetheusermustplaymusiconthelastinputselectedorhitanykeyon
theremotetobringtheT0outofsleepmodethenselectthedesiredinput.Thisisprobablyaless
frequentlyusedsettingbutsomeusersmaynditusefulinacontrolledenvironment.
Limiters setting—InthedefaultLimitersettingtheT0DSPincorporateslimiters(sometimecalled
compressors).ThesearecommonlyusedinmakingPopMusicrecordings,andhavetheeectof
increasingtheoverallplaybackvolume.Theyareturned-onbydefaultintheT0tobothincrease
themaximumplaybackvolumeandreducethepeakpowerdrawofthesystem.Whenthesystem
isplayedatfullvolumewithheavybassdemandsandthelimiterturnedo,itispossibletotrigger
theprotectioncircuitresultinginatemporaryshutdown.ThisisOK,asthecircuitisbehaving
exactlyasintended,butmaybeannoying.Thedefaultofthelimiters“Enabled”greatlyreduces
thechancesofthishappening.Thelimitercanhoweverhaveanegativeeectonthesoundat
highvolumes,andsomeusersmayndthesoundmore“open”withthelimitersdisabled.Welet
you,theuser,decide.Justnotethatthemaximumvolumewiththelimiter“Disabled”willbealittle
lower,andiftheprotectioncircuittripsyou’llneedtoturnitdownalittle!
Active speaker position setting—Inthedefaultsettingtheactivespeakerisdenedasthe
speakerontherightasyoufacetheT0s.ThiscanbechangedusingtheActivespeakerposition
