4.2 Контроле и индикатори

  • Преузму контролу: Adjusts the overall input sensitivity of the subwoofer. Start with this control at its minimum setting and gradually increase it to achieve the desired bass level in relation to your main speakers.
  • CROSSOVER Frequency Knob: This control sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer and the lower frequency limit for the signal sent to your full-range speakers via the XLR outputs. Adjust this to blend seamlessly with your main speakers. Common settings range from 80 Hz to 120 Hz.
  • ПХАСЕ прекидач: This switch allows you to invert the phase of the subwoofer's output. If the bass sounds weak or hollow, try flipping this switch. The correct phase setting will result in a fuller, more impactful bass response.
  • Прекидач за појачавање баса: Engages a low-frequency enhancement circuit for added punch and impact. Use this feature judiciously to avoid over-driving the speaker or creating an unbalanced sound.
  • ЛИМИТ ЛЕД: Illuminates when the internal limiter is active, indicating that the amplifier is approaching its maximum output. Occasional flickering is normal, but if it stays lit constantly, reduce the GAIN control to prevent distortion and potential damage.
  • СИГНАЛНА ЛЕД: Indicates the presence of an audio signal.
  • ПОВЕР ЛЕД: Светли када је јединица укључена.
