Frequently Asked Questions - Tales 340 TRIANGLE

How to connect the Tales 340 subwoofer to a home theater amplifier?

Use the SUBWOOFER output of your amplifier and connect it to the LFE input of the subwoofer. Adjust the crossover frequency via the amplifier menu and set the subwoofer's crossover to maximum (120 Hz).

Can I connect the subwoofer to a stereo amplifier?

Yes, connect the PRE-OUT (R+L) output of your preamplifier or integrated stereo amplifier to the LINE IN (RCA) inputs of the subwoofer.

How to adjust the phase of the subwoofer?

The phase switch allows you to invert the phase (0° or 180°) to improve bass coherence with the main speakers. Try both positions and choose the one that offers the best sound.

What to do if the subwoofer does not turn on?

Check that the power cord is plugged in and that the outlet works. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. If the LED does not light up, contact your dealer.

Powering ON

Powering ON should be carried out as follows :

• Check once again that all connections are correct and that the volume button of your amplifier is at minimum.
• Connect the power plug.
• Switch the ON/OFF switch to ON, the blue LED on the front panel lights up.
• Adjust the volume, frequency and phase buttons (see Settings).
• The standby is done automatically if no signal is received for 15 minutes, the LED on the front panel becomes red.

Note : Cut off the power supply of the subwoofer by using the power switch when it is not in use for several days.

Positionning and settings

Position your subwoofer in the forward listening zone (if possible between the two main speakers) for a better sound resolution.

This subwoofer can be used with any type of loudspeakers.

The ideal setting should correspond to a realistic reproduction of the bass and be adjusted the best possible with your main loudspeakers. You should not «feel» the subwoofer, the bass should seem to come from the main speakers.

The phase inversion switch can be used to reach the best result possible. This switch is used to inverse the phase of the sound signals coming from the subwoofer. Depending on the placement of the subwoofer in the room in relation to the main speakers, inverting the subwoofer phase can lead to a better coherence of the system's global response in the bass frequencies.

We recommend you to carry out various tests until finding the setting which suits you the best. Use a recording you know well and study the result according to your taste and expectations.
