• Thedistancebetweentheactivesubwooferenclosureandthewallsoftheroomorotherobjects (e. g. furniture, shelf units) may not be less than 5 cm on any side. The aluminium plate and cooling ns of the amplier at the rear of the active subwoofer serve to cool the built-in amplier; 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 reex opening(s) on the active subwoofer must not be covered (e. g. by curtains, etc.) in order to guarantee adequate ventilation of the amplier.

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 normally benecial to place the unit close to the front speakers. The New Phalanx 203F is a compact subwoofer that can be positioned either horizontally or vertically or be mounted on the wall. Horizontal setup: The at shape means that the subwoofer can also easily be installed in conned spaces, e.g. under an item of furniture (sideboard, couch). Care should be taken to ensure that the reex tubes are not obstructed and are not covered by a wall or any other object. The status display (3b) should also remain visible. Vertical setup: When installing vertically, the side in which the speaker and amplier are tted should face a wall. The rubber feet then act as spacers. The rubber pads provided should be glued to the bottom (see g. 4). Wall mounting (e.g. behind a at-screen TV): To x the unit securely to the wall, the mounting brackets provided are screwed to the bottom using the four screws supplied. The subwoofer with the brackets is then mounted onto suitable screws (not included), which have to be tted securely to the wall horizontally at a distance of 326 mm apart (see g. 5). Please only use screws that are suitable for the wall material concerned and which will support the weight of the subwoofer! Note: The subwoofer should not be mounted higher than 30 cm above the oor or another stable surface (sideboard etc.). The subwoofer should not be mounted in a place where people pass by frequently (e.g. near a door). the SUBwOOFer‘S OPeratiNg eleMeNtS (Fig. 1) Mains connection (6) The subwoofer is equipped with an integrated amplier and needs to be connected to a mains outlet by means of the supplied mains cable. The subwoofer can be operated on mains voltages of 100 v - 240 v (50-60 Hz). Power-Switch (5), Power-LED (3) The subwoofer is switched off in position „Off“ and on in position „On“. The power LED is initially red (standby). When the subwoofer receives a signal from the receiver, it automatically switches from standby to normal, the LED then turns green. When signals to the subwoofer stop, it will automatically switch to standby after around 15 minutes. The power switch should be switched to „Off“ if the machine is not used for longer periods of time. Line inputs (4) For connecting to level outputs on a receiver/amplier (stereo mode), see Fig. 2. For connecting to an AV receiver with low-level subwoofer output, see Fig. 3. To connect the cinch NF cable (not included), please use the cinch L adapter provided.9 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 amplier 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 amplier to the desired level.

4. Set the subwoofer level control to the desired bass level.
