Frequently Asked Questions - AEGIS Compact Sub Acoustic Energy
How do I connect the AEGIS Compact Sub to my amplifier?
Use the line-level RCA output of an AV receiver or preamp, or connect the speaker-level inputs to your amplifier's speaker terminals. Both input types are available on the back panel.
What is the recommended crossover setting?
Set the crossover knob to around 80 Hz for most systems; adjust from 50 to 150 Hz to blend smoothly with satellite speakers.
How should I position the subwoofer?
Place it in a room corner or along a wall to reinforce bass, but keep at least 10 cm from the wall behind its port to avoid chuffing.
Why is there no sound coming from the subwoofer?
Check that the AC power cord is connected, the power switch is on, the level control is not fully counterclockwise, and that the input cable is securely connected.
How do I set the phase switch?
If the bass sounds weak or blurred, toggle the phase switch between 0° and 180° and choose the position that gives the fullest bass at the listening position.
Can I use two AEGIS Compact Subs in one system?
Yes, you can connect a second subwoofer using the same line-level output with a Y-cable; place them symmetrically for smoother room response.
How should I clean the subwoofer cabinet?
Use a soft dry cloth dampened with water if needed; never use alcohol, benzene or abrasive cleaners on the vinyl or wood veneer.
What maintenance does the subwoofer need?
The drive unit and amplifier are maintenance-free under normal use; only check that the port is free of dust and that the ventilation slots are not covered.
Is the subwoofer safe to leave in standby mode?
Yes, it switches to low-power standby automatically, consuming less than 1 W; unplug it during lightning storms or extended absence.
What should I do if the driver is damaged?
Contact an authorised Acoustic Energy service centre for replacement, as the driver is matched to the amplifier and enclosure and should not be user-repaired.
