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 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.
• 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 OMEGA CS 12

This subwoofer has been adapted to provide the best visual and acoustic match to the MAGNAT range of loudspeakers. However, it goes without saying that it may be combined with other loudspeakers.

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 (1), operating state LED (3), power switch (8)

	Power switch ON Power switch OFF
Operating mode switch ON	Subwoofer in continuous operation; the display is switched on.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).If the subwoofer receives a signal from the receiver, it turns on automatically and the display is switched on.If the subwoofer no longer receives a signal, it will automatically switch back to the standby mode after approx. 20 minutes. The display is switched off the LED turns red.

Line inputs (2)

For connecting to level outputs on a receiver/amplifier (stereo mode), see Fig. 3.

For connecting to an AV receiver with low-level subwoofer output, see Fig. 2.

Volume control (4) and remote control (11)

This control is used to set the bass volume according to your preferences. Proceed as follows:

1. The controller (4) and the - and + buttons on the remote control (11) can be used independently of one another to adjust the volume of the subwoofer.
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 receiver to the desired level.
4. Set the subwoofer level control to the desired bass level.

The volume can be set between 0–40 (via the volume controller at the rear and/or via the +/- volume buttons on the remote control).

Cross-over frequency control (5)

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

Setting range: 50 – 150 Hz.

Bass Extension control (6)

The level of the lower bass range (approx. 28 Hz) can be increased by 0 – 8 dB by using this controller.

It is therefore easy to adapt the deep bass range to the setup of the room, as well as to your own personal taste.

Phase switch (7)

In normal use the phase switch should be set to 0^ . However, in rare cases it may be advantageous to set the phase to 180^ (e.g. if the subwoofer is far away from the front loudspeakers or in the event of unfavourable acoustics in the room). Generally speaking: the setting where the lower base tone area has a fuller sound is the correct one.

Fuse (10)

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

Remote control (STBY/ON) (11)

You can use the STBY/ON button to switch on the Omega CS 12 manually or switch it to the standby mode.

MAINTENANCE

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