5. Asennus
5.1 Sijoitus
Optimal placement of the subwoofer is crucial for sound quality. Consider the following:
- Huoneen akustiikka: Bass response is heavily influenced by room boundaries. Experiment with placement to find the best balance.
- Proximity to Walls: Placing the subwoofer closer to walls or corners can increase bass output, but may also lead to muddiness.
- Cardioid Setup: For advanced setups, consider using multiple subwoofers in a cardioid configuration to reduce rearward sound radiation. Refer to the "Operating" section for DSP settings.
5.2 Liitännät
- Virtaliitäntä: Connect the supplied power cable to the subwoofer's power inlet and then to a grounded AC power outlet.
- Äänitulo: Connect your audio source (e.g., mixer, full-range speaker output) to the Input (L/R) XLR/TRS combo jacks on the subwoofer's control panel.
- Audio Thru (Optional): If you are connecting full-range speakers, use the Thru (L/R) XLR outputs to send the signal to your main speakers. The signal passed through is unfiltered.
Varmista, että kaikki liitännät ovat kunnolla kiinni, ennen kuin käynnistät laitteen.
6. Käyttöohjeet
The SONAR-115-SUB-D features a 24-bit DSP for precise control over its audio characteristics. Use the illuminated LCD screen and the Volume knob to navigate and adjust settings.
6.1 DSP-toiminnot
Press the Volume knob to enter the DSP menu. Rotate the knob to scroll through options and press again to select or confirm.
- X-Over (Crossover Frequency): Adjusts the frequency point where the subwoofer handles bass frequencies, and frequencies above this point are typically sent to full-range speakers. Common settings include 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz.
- Vastakkaisuus: Inverts the phase of the subwoofer's output. This can be useful for optimizing bass response when combining the subwoofer with other speakers, especially if they are out of phase. Options typically include 0° (Normal) and 180° (Inverted).
- Viive: Allows for time alignment between the subwoofer and full-range speakers. Adjust this setting to ensure the sound from all speakers arrives at the listener's position simultaneously.
- Basson korostus: Engages a low-frequency enhancement for a more pronounced bass sound.
- Filter Presets:
- SONAR: Optimized preset for use with Hk Audio SONAR mid/high units.
- Cardioid Front: Preset for configuring the subwoofer in a cardioid array, where the front-facing subwoofer is set to this mode.
- Cardioid Rear: Preset for configuring the subwoofer in a cardioid array, where the rear-facing subwoofer is set to this mode to cancel rearward bass radiation.
- Edessä LED: Controls the behavior of the front panel LED indicator.
- Display Dim: Säätää LCD-näytön kirkkautta.
- Palauta: Resets all DSP settings to factory defaults.
6.2 Äänenvoimakkuuden säätö
Rotate the Volume knob to adjust the overall output level of the subwoofer. Monitor your sound system to ensure levels are balanced and distortion-free.
