USER MANUAL Signature Sub 530A MAGNAT

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 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.

• 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°C to 40°C. 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.8

• The mains plug is used as the disconnecting device. Disconnecting devices shall remain readily operable.

• 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. THE ACTIVE SUBWOOFER MAGNAT SIGNATURE SUB530A This subwoofer has been adapted to provide the best visual and acoustic match to the MAGNAT Signature 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 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 (9) The subwoofer is equipped with an integrated amplifier and needs to be connected to a mains outlet by means of the supplied mains cable. Operating mode switch (2), operating state LED (1), power switch (8) Power switch ON Power switch OFF Operating mode switch ON Subwoofer is in permanent operation, the LED is blue.

You will require a mono-cinch cable for this (not supplied). Note: Warning: when the subwoofer is controlled through the LFE input, the cross-over frequency control is not functional. Line inputs (6 / 7) Please refer to fig. 3 for connecting to low-level outputs on a receiver/amplifier (stereo mode). The two channels are added to each other and are output by the subwoofer. Level control (5) 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.
