Carefully unpack the ADVANCE Kubik SUB 200 and check for any damages. If possible, keep the carton box in case future transportation is needed.

You should immediately contact your dealer if the active subwoofer is damaged.

PLACEMENT

Your active subwoofer is designed to re-produce music information in the frequency range below 120Hz . The human ear is not able to localize sound for these low frequencies, this is why the placement of the subwoofer is not critical. However you can use the nature of the acoustic laws in the following ways:

a To get the most amplification of the room itself, place the active subwoofer close to a corner at a distance of about 10cm from the walls. If you get to much bass please move the subwoofer out from the corner.

b. By experimenting with the placement of the subwoofer you can optimize the sound quality. One good rule is to place the subwoofer near the satellite speakers.

c Never cover the built-in amplifier.
