POSITIONING YOUR POWereD SUBW00Fer
Energy powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce the deep bass and deliver the impact that really makes your movies and music come alive. For optimum performance, place your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers. Refer to Figure 1 for placement. Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect upon the performance of your powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above, will increase the amount of bass output, while placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the room will decrease the amount of bass output but many result in tighter sounding bass. Experiment with a number of different placement options and control settings to find the one that best suits your particular room and taste. When choosing your subwoofer's location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofer's built-in amplifier to an AC power outlet.
CONNeCTING YOUR POWereD SUBWOOFer TO YOUR eLeCTRONICS
Controls and Optional Connections — Powered subwoofers can be hooked up to the subwoofer output of your electronics via the RCA jack inputs on the subwoofer's rear panel. Refer to Figure 2. This is preferred over the conventional speaker wire connections. For more information on the controls mentioned in this manual and on bass management, see your dealer or visit www.Energy.com.
“Line In” – This input is filtered by the built-in Low Pass (LP) crossover and is designed as a general purpose input for the subwoofer.
Conventional Speaker Wire Connection — Using 16-gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the RED “positive” (+) terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel to the RED “positive” (+) terminal of your subwoofer’s LEFT channel input (“Speaker In”). Connect the BLACK “negative” (−) terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel to the BLACK “negative” (−) terminal of your subwoofer’s LEFT channel input (“Speaker In”). Repeat this procedure for connecting your amplifier’s RIGHT channel to your subwoofer’s RIGHT channel input. Refer to Figure 2. Take care to make sure that no bare wires from any of the connections touch any other terminals as this could cause a short and damage your equipment.
"Low Pass (LP) Crossover" – The crossover allows the user to select the upper-frequency cutoff of the subwoofer. The frequency is selectable from 40-120Hz. Frequencies above the set level are filtered out, allowing you to blend the subwoofer's output into your main speakers.
"Level" – The "Level" control serves as an overall volume control for the subwoofer. It is used to match the output level of the sub to your main speakers.
"Phase 0/180" – This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer's output to your main speakers. You want to select one of the two positions, either 0 or 180, in which your sub has more output at your listening position.
"Power Off/Auto/On" – "OFF/AUTO/ON" - Selecting "Auto" allows the sub to turn on the audio amplification when it senses an audio input signal. It will automatically turn off the audio amplification after 20 minutes if no signal input is detected. The sub has an LED on the bottom of the front panel that indicates the status of the auto function. The LED will light RED when the amplifier is in the "Off" position or in the "Auto" position with no audio signal, and GREEN when the amplifier is receiving a signal in the "Auto" position or when in the "On" position.
CAre AND CLeANING OF YOUR POWereD SUBWOOFer
The only thing you should ever need to do to your speakers is dust them occasionally. Never apply any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner or any harsh detergent. You can clean the grilles with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.

Figure 2 EW-100 Subwoofer Hook Up
Your Energy subwoofer is equipped with both Speaker (High) Level and Line In (Low) Level hookups. The connection you use depends on what type of receiver (or pre-amplifier) you are hooking the subwoofer to. Do not hook up both connections together as damage to your system may be a result! Most connections will use the Line In Connection.
