THE BALL - Speaker SCANDYNA - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL THE BALL SCANDYNA

The owner’s manual Thank you for choosing the ball. The ball is a digitally amplified subwoofer which combines unique design with high quality audio for reproducing precise and deep bass. The ball is easy placeable and for maximum sound experience we recommend you to experiment to find the best place in your listening room for getting the optimal sound from the ball. Please note that the bass will seem louder when the ball is placed in a corner or close to a wall than if it stands alone. We created the ball specially for use with the amp, the dock and v dock together with a pair of Minipod, the drop or Micropod SE. Please visit us at www.podspeakers.com for more information on our products. Important! Please read the section on safety before operating your unit. Before turning the power on, it is important that all connections between your components have been completed. Also note! This apparatus should only be cleaned with a lint free dust cloth. Never use cleaning detergents. Do not sit on the ball!

The ball The ball bottom panel Connect the ball to your amplifier through the line input sockets. We recommend to adjust the volume of the ball to the “overall sound” of your stereo set- up while listening to a favorite track. The subvolume will follow when you turn up/down for the volume on your amplifier. The crossover frequency should be adjusted to the point where the bass of your front speakers are “giving up”. The more precise you are able to find this point which can be for example around 80 Hz – the more precise the overall sound will be. The phase function allow you to “reverse” the phase of the subwoofer’s output signal for correcting any out of phase between the ball and your frontspeakers/amplifier. You should experiment with the position of the switch while listening to music. The position which sounds best is the correct one. Set up suggestion
