3. boosting the overall bass response of your room or exaggerating any one frequency or frequency range Because low frequencies are not directional that is humans cannot perceive the direction from which low frequencies are coming you aren t limited to placing it facing the mix position A quick way to find the best location for your subwoofer is to temporarily place itin the mix position and play some program material that contains a lot of bass Move around the half of the room where your full range monitors are positioned until you find the spot where the bass sounds its best Again it s important to remember that low frequencies are not directional so placing the subwoofer beside or behind you will not be an issue In general you will want to avoid placing your subwoofer too near to reflective surfaces like a wall or in a corner as this will exaggerate the bass energy and make your T10 sound boomy Once you find the place in the room where the bass sounds the smoothest place your T10 in that spot return to the mix position and listen to it again You may need to adjust the location just keep making small adjustment a foot or so at a time until the bass response sounds as even as possible Don t locate your T10 where it will exaggerate frequencies as this will have the opposite effect on your mix For example if your system has a bump around 100 Hz what you hear will not accurately reflect what is in your mixes resulting in
4. the polarity of the summed input signal High Pass Filter Removes frequency content below 80 Hz from the full range signal sent from the T10 outputs This is useful if your main studio monitors do not have their own highpass filter The highpass filter is also bypassed when the Sub Bypass is enabled Power User Tip Leaving frequency content below 80 Hz in full range studio monitors can introduce destructive cancellations with the highest frequencies that are reproduced by the Temblor T10 Conversely this can reinforce these frequencies and make your mix seem to have more bass in it than it actually does By rolling off your full range speakers you will create a more linear frequency response between the subwoofer and full range content Low Pass Filter This control determines the upper end of the frequency range reproduced by the Temblor T10 If you have enabled the onboard highpass filter set the Low Pass Filter control to the same value Otherwise set the Low Pass Filter control to the lowest frequency that your main studio monitors can reliably reproduce 2 Hookup Temblor T10 2 2 Hookup Diagrams Owner s Manual Ground Lift Switch In the Lift position this switch adds 1 kO resistance to the ground for the balanced inputs The Ground Lift switch doesn t affect the AC mains GND JJ utt safety ground for the power supply Power User Tip Enabling the ground lift can help to reduce ground loop noise in your audio system Ground l
