Frequently Asked Questions - Monitor SUB 12 Paradigm

How do I break in the subwoofer?
Break-in improves performance. Let the subwoofer run for several hours at moderate volume before critical listening.
What is the ideal placement for the subwoofer in the room?
For good balance, place the subwoofer between the front speakers or next to a speaker, near the back wall. Avoid corners for better accuracy. Use two subwoofers for more even distribution.
How do I clean the subwoofer?
Use a soft slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents and avoid wetting the device. Do not place wet objects on it.
Can I use this subwoofer wirelessly?
Yes, with the optional Paradigm PT-2 transmitter. It enables wireless connection up to 15 m, with adjustable latency (15, 20 or 25 ms) and can handle up to 4 subwoofers simultaneously.
What to do if the bass sounds weak or out of phase?
Adjust the phase control (0° to 180°) to align the subwoofer with the main speakers. Turn slowly until you get maximum bass. Readjust if you move the subwoofer or furniture.
How do I set the crossover frequency?
Set the crossover frequency between 50 and 150 Hz. Start at the maximum position (150 Hz), then decrease until the sound is balanced. If the front speakers go down to 80 Hz, set the subwoofer around 80 Hz.
What is the Perfect Bass Kit (PBK)?
The PBK is an optional accessory that corrects room acoustic effects. It connects via the USB port and in a few minutes optimizes bass response for increased accuracy.
Can I use two subwoofers?
Yes, using two subwoofers improves bass distribution and reduces distortion at high volume. Place one at the front and one at the back, or follow the placement procedure described in the manual.
What is the power consumption in standby?
The subwoofer consumes less than 1 watt in standby mode (energy saving mode after 20 minutes without signal). It automatically wakes up upon receiving a signal.

IMPORTANT OPERATING INFORMATION READ BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW SUBWOOFER

INITIAL OPERATION

The LED on the subwoofer's front panel will only turn on when it senses a signal. In wireless operation, once the PT-2 transmitter is plugged in and in search mode, synching with the subwoofer occurs within 60 seconds. When the subwoofer senses the wireless signal from the PT-2 its LED automatically turns on.

Paradigm Monitor SUB 12 - INITIAL OPERATION - 1
PRODUCT CONSUMES LESS THAN I WAT IN STANDBY.

Your subwoofer is equipped with an advanced power saving mode. After about 20 minutes with no input signal the sub will enter a low-power (i.e. standby) state, at which time the blue LED on the front panel will turn off. When an input signal is received, the subwoofer will automatically turn on again and the LED will glow blue. The LED will only begin flashing if the subwoofer is intentionally re-synced with a PT-2 Wireless Transmitter or during the Paradigm Perfect Bass Kit (PBK) optimization procedure.

YOUR NEW SUBWOOFER

Break-In Although your Paradigm subwoofer will sound great "out of the carton" it will sound even better when broken in. Allow it to operate for several hours before you listen critically.

Cleaning

Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner on your subwoofer. Clean it with a damp soft cloth, but do not get it wet. Do not place wet objects, such as drinking glasses or potted plants, on top of it. If allowed to soak in, even a small amount of water may permanently damage the enclosure.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The "Watts" (W) rating indicated on the rear panel of your subwoofer is the typical AC power the unit will draw when producing its maximum power output. However, the actual

wattage draw will vary with the bass content of the program material.

ROOM ACOUSTICS

You are about to experience the powerful and extremely accurate deep bass performance of Paradigm subwooers. These subwooers offer incredible output with low distortion, exceptional extension and superb definition. It is important to note, however, that just as the amount of soft furnishings has a decided impact on mid and high frequencies, those frequencies below 150Hz are dramatically affected by the room itself—its size, shape, as well as the physical boundaries of the room. The extra care you take in correctly positioning your subwoofer(s) will result in greater listening enjoyment. Keep the following guidelines in mind when deciding on best subwoofer placement:

Concrete floors and walls tend to aggravate low-frequency standing wave problems and are less preferred.
- Rooms where height, width and length are similar should be avoided as they can exhibit significant low-frequency standing wave problems. This may result in reduced clarity. If no other room is possible, experiment with subwoofer placement to minimize acoustic problems.

NOTE: Even when the world's finest speakers are perfectly positioned, the room can still have a dramatic impact on performance. Paradigm's Perfect Bass Kit (PBK) sold separately is the solution. In less than five minutes problems of the room are a thing of the past. See the section on Connection for more details or contact your dealer to purchase the PBK.

WIRELESS OPERATION

Placement plays a major role in optimizing bass performance. However, it can impose the inconvenience not to mention the unsightliness of running long lengths of cable through walls, along baseboards and under floors and carpets. Listening rooms can become a rat's nest of wires! When you choose the wireless option, cable clutter becomes a thing of the past and actual system setup time is often drastically reduced. If you purchased the Paradigm PT-2 Transmitter to operate

your new sub wirelessly, follow the operating instructions that come with the product.

If you did not purchase the PT-2 but are interested in going wireless, see your dealer for more information.

TIP!

The PT-2 transmitter will work with up to four Monitor Series 7 subwoofer simultaneously.

SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT

Paradigm Monitor SUB 12 - SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT - 1

To avoid personal injury, install subwoofer in a location where any rear amplifier parts such as panels and/or heatsinks, etc. cannot be accidentally touched.

Bass is less and less directional as it goes down in frequency. For best sonic integration, locating your subwoofer between your front speakers or beside one of them and close to the back wall will usually provide the best bass performance. If this location is not possible your subwoofer may be placed anywhere in the room without affecting the stereo image of your front speakers or the soundstage of your multichannel speaker system.

Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b, on page 4, highlight how bass output is generally affected by room placement. When seated in a typical listening area of your room, placing the subwoofer inside the "shaded" areas will typically result in bass performance as follows:

Fig. 1a: Corner placement provides the most bass, but sometimes at the expense of accuracy.

Fig. 1b: A subwoofer placed near a wall usually provides a good balance of quantity and accuracy.

Controls are provided to align your subwoofer's output to the other speakers in your system, see the section on "Fine Tuning."

The Advantages of Using Two Subwoofer

Although a single Paradigm subwoofer provides exceptional performance and substantial output, the quality (and quantity) of bass can be further improved with the use of two subwooers (Fig. 2). This allows you to randomize the standing waves within your listening room so that bass will be distributed in a more uniform manner. Two subwoofer also provide even lower distortion, especially at high output levels.

See Dealer for connection instructions using multiple subwoofoers.

For wireless operation of multiple subwoofoers, a PT-2 Transmitter (sold separately) may be used with up to four subwoofoers.

Placing two subwoofoers in your listening room

When using two subwoofoers, placing one in the front of the room and the other in the rear of the room (as shown in Fig. 2) usually provides the best bass performance and sonic integration. Consult the fine tuning section of the Owner's Manual for more information on adjusting phase settings. If those locations are not possible or if you want to experiment with placement options using two subwoofoers, the following procedure will be a helpful guide to achieving better bass performance. Refer to "Subwoofer Connection" then proceed as follows:

  1. Temporarily turn all speakers off (either by turning your amplifier off or disconnecting them);
  2. Connect and place one subwoofer in the central area of your listening room. Follow directions for connection, as outlined in the following section;

  3. At a moderately loud level, play music or a video soundtrack with extended bass that is repetitive or continuous;

  4. Walk around your room and note where the bass sounds louder and where it sounds quieter;
  5. Place the first subwoofer within a louder bass area of your room; then place the second subwoofer within a quieter bass area of your room;
  6. Connect both subwoofoers and switch all speakers back on; and switch the amplifier on, or reconnect it;
  7. Follow "Fine Tuning" instructions to optimize your system's overall bass performance.

NOTE: If you are not using the optional Paradigm Perfect Bass Kit (PBK) to find the best spot for your subwoofer, you may want to use a bass test disc and SPL meter to more accurately determine the bass characteristics of your listening room (ask your dealer for more information). Remember! Room acoustics vary so it will take some experimenting with placement to achieve best performance.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

Paradigm Monitor SUB 12 - SUBWOOFER CONNECTION - 1

SAFETY PRECAUTION: Before proceeding with this section be sure to read and follow all safety precaution and instruction notices at the beginning of this manual.

Paradigm Monitor SUB 12 - SUBWOOFER CONNECTION - 2

Turn all components OFF before connecting the subwoofer.

We recommend the use of high-quality cables and connectors when hooking up your subwoofer (see Dealer).

IF OPERATING YOUR SUBWOOFER WIRELESSLY, REFER TO THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH YOUR PT-2 TRANSMITTER

INPUT FACILITIES

Line-Level

Allows connection from the Sub/LFE Output of an A/V receiver, processor, or other suitable low-level source.

CONTROL FACILITIES

Auto-On/Off/Standby

Automatic sensing feature inherent within the amplifier's design. No action on the user's part is required.

Subwoofer Level

Balances the subwoofer output level to your speakers.

For instructions on setting the Subwoofer Controls once your subwoofer has been connected refer to the section on "Fine Tuning".

Subwoofer Cut-Off Frequency

Controls the subwoofer's upper-frequency cut-off. This can be set to match the low-frequency roll-off characteristics of your front speakers. For example, if your front speakers play to approximately 80Hz , you can set the subwoofer cut-off frequency to approximately 80Hz .

Subwoofer/Satellite Phase Alignment

The sound from your subwoofer may arrive at the listening position out of phase with the front speakers. This control synchronizes the subwoofer and the front speakers through their frequency overlap region.

THE USB PORT

The USB port allows for:

  • Connection of optional Paradigm Perfect Bass Kit (PBK™);
  • Possible future upgrades to the software installed in your subwoofer.

PARADIGM PERFECT BASS KIT (PBK™)

Even when the world's finest speakers are perfectly positioned, the room can still have a dramatic impact on performance. Room dimensions, dead spots, archways, furniture placement and countless other factors can turn a room into an additional instrument, playing alongside musicians or movie scores with unwanted contributions of coloration and resonance.

Although the Control Facilities included on your Paradigm® subwoofer allow you to fine tune for optimal bass performance in your room, Paradigm's Perfect Bass Kit (PBK™) (sold separately, see Dealer) allows you to correct for the effects of your room's boundaries.

CONNECTION (Fig. 3)

Line-Level Input From Sub/LFE Output - For use with a receiver, processor or subwoofer control unit with a Sub-Out/ LFE-Out jack.

Using an RCA-to-RCA interconnect cable connect the subwoofer as shown.

(See Dealer if you require additional information.)

USING YOUR SUBWOOFER WITH HIGH-SENSITIVITY SPEAKERS

When the subwoofer is used with high-sensitivity speakers more volume gain may be required. You can obtain 6 dB

more gain by using a "Y" cable and plugging into both input jacks (not shown).

FINE TUNING

Once you have the rest of your speakers positioned in the room and have set speaker distances and calibrated speaker levels with your Processor or AV Receiver, it's time for a little fine tuning of the subwoofer(s).

Subwoofer Controls

When setting the subwoofer controls use music and video soundtracks that you know well. They should contain selections with extended bass that is continuous and repetitive. When you are adjusting your subwoofer,

remember: Bass should not be overbearing—the subwoofer should not draw attention to itself—but sound shouldn't be "thin" or difficult to hear. Certain subwoofer placement may result in bass frequency cancellations—this occurs when your front speakers and subwoofer are "out-of-phase", in other words, they work against each other through the crossover region. This will result in bass being reduced. If bass sounds weak or dislocated adjust the phase according to the instructions that apply to your subwoofer in the setup procedures that follow.

NOTE: When using receivers with Automatic Level and Crossover setting systems such as the Anthem Room Correction, refer to your receiver's Owners Manual for correct setup procedure, otherwise follow the instructions below.

SETTING SUBWOOFER CONTROLS

Set tone or equalizer controls on your receiver or preamplifier to flat (or 0^ ) and switch any loudness controls off.

  1. Turn the Subwoofer Level control completely counterclockwise to its minimum;
  2. Turn the Subwoofer Cut-Off Frequency control clockwise to its highest frequency (i.e. 150Hz
  3. Set the Phase Alignment Control to 0^
  4. While you listen to a bass music or video selection in your primary listening area, have an assistant turn up the Subwoofer Level control until the subwoofer can be clearly heard;
  5. Have an assistant try the Phase Alignment control until you hear the most bass. Your subwoofer and front speakers are now in phase. Do not change phase alignment again unless you move the subwoofer or the front speakers to a different location in the room or move or remove large items of furniture or room furnishings (i.e. carpet, draperies, etc.)
  6. Turn the Subwoofer Level control completely counterclockwise to its minimum.

  7. Turn the Subwoofer Cut-Off Frequency control completely counter-clockwise to its lowest frequency (i.e. 50Hz );

  8. Slowly rotate the Subwoofer Level control until you match the subwoofer output level with the level of your front speakers. Bass should be clearly audible, but not intrusive;

NOTE: If using an A/V receiver or processor to control crossover setting, skip the next step and set the subwoofer cut-ff frequency control to 'Bypass.'

  1. Slowly rotate the Subwoofer Cut-Off Frequency control until you hear the best subwoofer/main speaker blend. If the sound is too 'thin,' you have not set the frequency high enough; if the sound becomes 'boomy' you have set the frequency too high. Adjust until you find the most natural balance.
