METAS SUB 30A - Speaker HECO - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL METAS SUB 30A HECO

At the end of the product's useful life, please dispose of it at appropriate collection points provided in your country.

Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing HECO! You have made an excellent choice. The high-quality speakers produced by HECO are renowned all over the world.

Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.

THE HECO METAS SUB 30A ACTIVE SUBWOOFER

This subwoofer has been adapted to provide the best visual and acoustic match to the HECO Metas range of loudspeakers. However, it goes without saying that it may be combined with other loudspeakers.

When connecting your loudspeaker, please make sure that everything has been switched off. Furthermore, make sure that all loudspeaker cables are connected to the proper poles, i.e. the positive pole for the output is connected to the positive pole for the input and the negative pole with the negative pole. Please also refer to your receiver's/amplifier's and loudspeakers' instructions.

POSITIONING

The frequency range reproduced by the subwoofer cannot be pinpointed by the human ear. That's why positioning generally doesn't present any problems. However, it is preferable to place the speaker close to the front loudspeaker in front of the listening position. You should also make sure that the distance from the sides to items and walls is at least 30 centimetres and at least 20 centimetres from the rear as otherwise bass reproduction may be impaired.

THE SUBWOOFERS' OPERATING ELEMENTS (FIG. 1)

Mains connection (1), mains-voltage switch (2)

The subwoofer is equipped with an integrated amplifier and needs to be connected to a mains outlet by means of the supplied mains cable. The voltage selector has been set at the factory to 230V for operation in Europe.

Warning: Connecting the subwoofer to a 230V mains outlet while the voltage selector is set to 115V will lead to immediate destruction of the fitted amplifier!

Mains switch (3), power LED (4), power switch (5)

	Mains switch ON	Mains switch OFF
Power switch ON	Subwoofer is in permanent operation, the power LED is green. Favourable setting for the reproduction of programmes with long quiet passages (this prevents the subwoofer from switching off unintentionally).	Subwoofer switched off, Power LED off. This is the setting for when subwoofer isn't used over long periods.
Power switch AUTO	Subwoofer initially in standby mode, the power LED is red. The subwoofer switches on automatically when it receives a signal from the receiver, the power LED turns green. It automatically switches to standby after receiving no signals for around 15 minutes, the power LED returns to red. Recommended setting.

Line inputs (6)

For connecting to level outputs on a receiver/amplifier (stereo mode), see Fig. 4.

For connecting to an AV receiver with low-level subwoofer output, see Fig. 5.

High-level inputs (7)

For connecting to high-level (speaker) outputs on a receiver/amplifier. See Fig. 2 for connecting to a stereo am-plifier and Fig. 3 for connecting to an AV receiver.

Level control (8)

This control is used to set the bass volume according to your preferences. Proceed as follows:

1. Set the bass control of your amplifier into its centre (linear) position.
2. Important: Set the level control to its left stop (lowest volume).
3. Now, play back some music and set the volume control of the amplifier to the desired level.
4. Set the subwoofer level control to the desired bass level.

Warning: when connecting to an AV receiver's subwoofer output, the subwoofer level should be set to 0 dB in the receiver's set-up.

Cross-over frequency control (9)

Used to set the upper limit of the subwoofer operating range. The cross-over frequency should be set to approximately 100 to 150Hz when the system is used in combination with shelf loudspeakers and to 50 to 100Hz with stand loudspeakers.

Phase switch (10)

In normal use the phase switch should be set to 0^ . However, in rare cases it may be advantageous to set the phase to 180^ (e.g. if the subwoofer is far away from the front satellites or in the event of unfavourable acoustics in the room). Generally speaking: the setting where the lower base tone area has a fuller sound is the correct one.

Fuse (11)

Only use a fuse with the parameters indicated next to the fuse holder on the rear of the amplifier.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Never subject the subwoofer to dripping or splashing water. Do not place any flower vases or other filled recipients on top of the subwoofer.

The distance between the active subwoofer enclosure and the walls of the room or other objects (e. g. furniture, shelf units) may not be less than 5 cm on any side.

The aluminium plate and cooling fins of the amplifier at the rear of the active subwoofer serve to cool the built-in amplifier; for this reason, they must also be at least 5 cm away from all objects and must not be covered (e.g. by a curtain).

The bass reflex opening(s) on the active subwoofer must not be covered (e. g. by curtains, etc.) in order to guarantee adequate ventilation of the amplifier.

Please do not place any items with naked flames (e.g. candles) on the active subwoofer.
