RBH Sound PC-10 SUBWOOFER Manuals

PC-10 SUBWOOFER O w n e r s M a n u a l Introduction PC-10 Subwoofer Congratulations on your purchase of an RBH PC-10 Powered Subwoofer! Your subwoofer is the result of many years of research and development dedicated to producing powerful, accurate bass in home audio and video systems. This manual contains operating procedures and specifications. We recommend you thoroughly read through the material contained in this manual before connecting your subwoofer. This will ensure you have an understanding of how to setup and operate your subwoofer for optimum performance. Break In Period Allow 10-15 hours of listening time to adequately break-in the PC-10 Subwoofer. During the break-in period, the driver suspension will loosen. The result of break-in will be an increase in low frequency response, improved definition, and increased clarity and detail. Care and Cleaning To maintain speaker appearance, we recommend an occasional application of furniture grade polish to the wood surface of the cabinet. To clean dust from the grille cloth, use a vacuum with a brush attachment. Features A powered subwoofer is a must-have component for any home theater or audio system. The performance of your subwoofer can greatly affect the overall performance of your system. Without the powered subwoofer, the deep bass on your music CDs and special effects on DVDs may not be heard and/or felt. Think of a subwoofer as a vital component that adds excitement to your theater or music experience. The powered subwoofer has its own source of amplification (as opposed to passive, non-amplified subwoofers which require an additional power amplifier). Subwoofers can add considerable low- frequency, deep bass performance to any home theater or audio system. At the heart of the RBH PC-10 powered subwoofer is a compressed cellulose composite cone driver. The driver material produces enhanced bass definition and accuracy. A powerful magnet, enhanced suspension and heavy duty voice coil give the driver elevated performance allowing high output capability and accurate dynamic reproduction. The PC-10 powered subwoofer incorporates a discrete class A/B analog power supply amplifier ensuring low distortion, high current output and proven reliability. Variable crossover, adjustable phase control and auto on/off are also used for convenience and easy integration with other speakers. Connectivity is made easy by allowing the subwoofer to be connected by either interconnect (processor/line level) or speaker wire (high level). Cabinets are constructed from medium density fiberboard because of its inert properties. The thickness of the front baffles also prevents excess acoustic radiation. Large oversized gold binding posts ensure a good electrical contact. Sophisticated computer modeling and measurement techniques are used extensively in the RBH subwoofer design process. Setup Suggestions Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity and extension of the bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced by close room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer sound louder and boost the very lowest frequencies.
