USER MANUAL Phalanx 202A 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 triangle with a lightning symbol warns the user that high voltage is used within the device which can result in electric shock.

The triangle with an exclamation mark informs the user that important operating and maintenance instructions (repair) are contained in the accompanying instruction manual, which must be observed.

Do not open! Risk of electric shock!

CAUTION: In order to avoid electric shock do not open the speaker housing/mains adapters or remove the covers. The user is not to conduct any repairs him/herself. Repairs should only be conducted by qualified technicians! Do not use any sockets or extension cables that do not fully accommodate the plug of the device.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Please read through the instruction manual carefully before starting to use the device. This manual contains important information concerning operation and safety aspects. It is imperative you observe all of the information. Keep the manual in a safe location.

• 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 5cm 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 5cm 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.

• The subwoofer should not be positioned near heat sources (heaters, ovens, radiant heaters, naked flames, etc.).
• Only operate the subwoofer at an ambient/room temperature from 10^ to 40^ . The active subwoofer may not be used in very humid rooms.
• Please do not place any items with naked flames (e.g. candles) on the active subwoofer.
• Please do not touch or connect the mains cable when your hands are damp.
• Keep the mains cable away from heaters.
• The device should not continue to be operated if there is visible damage to the mains cable. A damaged cable should not be repaired, but must be replaced.
• Never place heavy items on the mains cable.
• The mains cable should always be freely accessible.

• If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period (e.g. when on holiday), it should be disconnected from the mains by removing the plug. The device should also be disconnected from the mains in the event of a thunderstorm. Doing this will prevent damage caused by lightning and overvoltage.

• Do not use any cleaning agents or chemical solvents when cleaning, as these could damage the surface of the device.

• Repairs must always be conducted by qualified specialists, as you might otherwise be exposed to dangerous high voltage levels or other hazards.

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 and from the rear to items and walls is at least 20 centimetres as otherwise bass reproduction may be impaired.

THE SUBWOOFER'S OPERATING ELEMENTS (FIG. 1)

Mains connection (11), mains-voltage switch (8)

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 230 V for operation in Europe.

Warning: Connecting the subwoofer to a 230 V mains outlet while the voltage selector is set to 120 V will lead to immediate destruction of the amplifier!

Operating mode switch (6), operating state LED (5), power switch (9)

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

Line inputs (7)

For connecting to level outputs on a receiver/amplifier (stereo mode), see Fig. 2.

For connecting to an AV receiver with low-level subwoofer output, see Fig. 3.

Level control (1)

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.

Cross-over frequency control (2)

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

Phase control (3)

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

Bass EQ control (4)

The low bass range level at around 35 Hz (New Phalanx 302A)/40 Hz (New Phalanx 202A) may be varied by 0 - 6 dB with this control. Which makes adapting low bass sounds to the room as well as to personal taste easy.

Fuse (10)

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

MAINTENANCE

The surface is best cleaned with a mild household cleaner. On no account use furniture polish or similar products.
