MRW-10 Positioning & Initial Set Up
Leave the subwoofer unplugged from the mains until all signal cables are connected
and feet attached.
Fix the feet to the bottom of the MRW-10 using the provided screws into the pilot holes on the base of
the cabinet.
The subwoofer should now be sited in the most suitable position, preferably not directly in the corner of
a room as this may cause excessive bass boom. Once a desirable position is achieved it is important to
check if the cables are long enough to reach comfortably without being under tension. Cables should be
less than 10 metres to avoid interference.
WARNING: Never connect or disconnect the RCA input/ output leads with the
subwoofer switched on.
For initial setting up, put the Power Mode Switch in the 'On' position and leave the 12v trigger cable (if
being used) disconnected.
Once the input cables are connected and the power mode switch is in the On position, the subwoofer
can be connected to the mains power supply and switched on at the mains power switch.
MRW-10 Set Up
Connected to an AV Receiver
The majority of AV amplifiers have automatic setup systems. If your amp has an auto set up procedure,
run this now with the volume set to around 10 - 12 o'clock, and the power mode switch in the On
position.
When the auto set up is complete check the settings on the AV amp for the sub woofer to ensure they
are correct. The crossover frequency should be roughly the same as in the table on page 6 and the level
should be no more/ less than +/- 3dB. If not we would suggest adjusting accordingly.
Now play a variety of music/ film excerpts that you are familiar with gradually increasing the volume to an
average listening level once you are sure everything is working correctly.
Connected to a Stereo Amplifier
Stereo L & R input may be required if using a 2-channel stereo amplifier, or an amplifier with no LFE
output. Connect 2 x interconnect cables (left and right) from the amplifier to connections marked L & R.
With the pre/ integrated amplifier set to a low level, set the subwoofer up using the suggested guide
below before playing any music/ test tones.
•
Set the volume to around 10 o'clock (Page 6)
•
Frequency should be set in accordance to your main speakers (refer to the table on Page 6)
•
Phase to 0 (Page 6)
Now play some familiar music and gradually adjust the volume and/ or the frequency until happy with the
integration and balance of the sub woofer with the rest of the system.
