4.1 Postavljanje subwoofera

Subwoofer placement significantly impacts performance. Experiment with different locations to find the best sound for your room. Common placement options include:

• Prednji dio sobe: Near the front speakers, often in a corner or along the front wall. Corner placement can increase output but may also emphasize certain frequencies.
• Srednji zid: Along a side wall, which can provide a more balanced bass response.
• "Subwoofer Crawl": Place the subwoofer in your primary listening position, then crawl around the room to find where the bass sounds best. This is often the ideal spot for the subwoofer.

4.2 Veze

The PB-1000 offers both Line Level (RCA) and Speaker Level inputs. Choose the connection method that best suits your audio system.

Figure 4.2: Rear panel connections and controls of the SVS PB-1000.

4.2.1 Line Level Connection (Recommended)

This is the preferred method for most home theater receivers and pre-amplifiers with a dedicated Subwoofer/LFE output.

1. Connect one end of an RCA cable to the LFE/Subwoofer output on your receiver/processor.
2. Connect the other end of the RCA cable to the "LINE LEVEL INPUT" (LFE) on the PB-1000's rear panel.
3. If your receiver has separate Left and Right pre-outs for the subwoofer, connect both to the "LINE LEVEL INPUT" (Left and Right) on the PB-1000.

4.2.2 Speaker Level Connection

Use this method if your receiver/ampLifer nema poseban izlaz za subwoofer.

1. Connect speaker wires from the main left and right speaker outputs of your receiver/amplifier to the "HIGH LEVEL SPEAKER INPUT" terminals on the PB-1000. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
2. Then, connect your main left and right speakers to the "HIGH LEVEL SPEAKER OUTPUT" terminals on the PB-1000.

4.3 Uključivanje

1. Connect the detachable power cord to the AC inlet on the rear panel of the PB-1000.
2. Uključite drugi kraj kabla za napajanje u odgovarajuću zidnu utičnicu.
3. Flip the main power switch on the rear panel to the "ON" position. The LED indicator on the front of the subwoofer will illuminate.

5. Operativne kontrole

The SVS PB-1000 features several controls on its rear panel to fine-tune its performance to your system and room acoustics.

• Volumen (Pojačanje): Podešava ukupni nivo izlaza subwoofera. Počnite s niskom postavkom i postepeno je povećavajte dok se bas ne stopi besprijekorno s glavnim zvučnicima.
• Niskopropusni filter (ukrštanje): This control sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. Frequencies above this setting will be rolled off.
  • If using a receiver with LFE output and bass management, set this to LFE (120Hz) or bypass if your receiver handles the crossover.
  • If using speaker level inputs or a stereo receiver without bass management, adjust this to blend with your main speakers (typically between 60Hz and 100Hz).
• faza: Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer output relative to your main speakers. This helps ensure that bass waves from the subwoofer and main speakers arrive at your listening position in sync.
  • Start at 0 degrees. If the bass sounds weak or hollow, try 180 degrees. The setting that produces the loudest and most impactful bass is usually correct.
• Auto/On/Standby Switch:
  • Auto: Subwoofer će se automatski uključiti kada se detektuje audio signal i ući će u stanje pripravnosti nakon perioda neaktivnosti.
  • na: Subwoofer ostaje neprekidno uključen.
  • Standby: The subwoofer remains in a low-power standby state.
