Be very careful to avoid any loose or frayed strands that could result in a short causing a dangerous condition and possible damage to your unit Cables of extremely large size are typically not required Extremely large gauge wire may not properly fit in the binding posts resulting in a poor connection and possible short circuits A WORD ABOUT SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT Subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies which are primarily omni directional Keep in mind that frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced by room placement depending on the acoustic properties of the listening room Typically the optimum location for a subwoofer is in a front corner of your listening room This location will usually offer the greatest output levels and optimum low frequency extension Typically a minimum distance of one to two feet from your TV to the subwoofer will be adeguate to avoid any magnetic interference Remember that the built in 7 band EO will help to get the most performance out of your subwoofer no matter where it is placed Caution This amplifier is an electronic device Do not place the amplifier next to sources of heat such as furnace registers radiators etc Likewise do not place the amplifier near sources of excessive moisture such as evaporative coolers humidifiers etc The power cord should be routed in such a way that it will not be walked on pinched or compressed in any way that could result in damaging
5. 160 Hz The subwoofer s response will begin rolling off above the frequency you set this control to The slope is 24 dB octave You should set the crossover frequency to obtain a smooth and seamless transition from the subwoofer to the main speakers in your system If your main speakers are smaller units with limited low frequency output you may wish to choose a higher frequency such as 100 120 Hz than you would with larger speakers which have greater low frequency output The SC 600 amp s crossover has a default of 80 Hz Most receivers and processors provide an option to characterize main speakers as large or small speakers This will affect the speaker s crossover point We recommend in most cases setting the main speakers to small despite their size and frequency response characteristics This is because the powerful 400 watt SC 600 amp combined with the SC 600 subwoofer you have acquired are more likely suited to low bass reproduction than your amp and main speaker With the burden of low freguency reproduction relieved your speakers will exhibit better performance Disabling the Low Pass Crossover Subwoofer Direct If your receiver processor provides a crossover to the subwoofer you may want to bypass switch off the SC 600 amp s low pass crossover To do this depress BOTH the Crossover UP and Crossover DOWN buttons simultaneously The numeric LED will show indicating that the low pass crossover has been defeat
