Cable choice
To connect the subwoofer to the amplifier, use a shielded RCA-RCA cable of an appropriate length. If in
doubt, ask your retailer to advise you on the best solution for your needs.
Positioning
Unlike acoustic loudspeakers that need to be placed at a sufficient distance away from the walls and
corners of the listening room, we recommend positioning Sub 600 P subwoofer in a corner.
By placing the subwoofer in a corner, the room resonances will be stimulated in a more linear, predictable
way. Not only will bass perception be optimal, but this layout will also make it possible to boost the
bass level by 6dB. If for practical reasons you cannot place the subwoofer in a corner, experiment with
positioning it in different places within the room until you find the best compromise.
Generally speaking, it is better to place the subwoofer in front of the listening position. (fig. D and E). It
isn't recommended to place it behind the listening position.
As the frequency ranges involved are omnidirectional, in principle the bass is not affected by objects or
furniture placed between the subwoofer and the listening point (fig. F).
Running-in period
The woofer used in Sub 600 P is a complex mechanical component which requires a running-in period
in order to operate at its best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and humidity of your
environment. The length of time this takes can vary depending on the conditions and may extend over
several weeks.
To reduce this running-in period, we recommend operating your subwoofer for about twenty consecutive
hours at medium volume, with music which is rich in bass. Once the loudspeaker's characteristics have
totally stabilised, you will be able to enjoy the full potential of your active subwoofer.
Conditions of warranty
All Focal loudspeakers are covered by warranty drawn up by the official Focal distributor in your country.
Your distributor can provide all details concerning the conditions of warranty. Warranty cover extends at
least to that granted by the legal warranty in force in the country where the original purchase invoice was
issued.
Special precautions
The only maintenance required for the Sub 600 P is dusting with a dry cloth. If your subwoofer
becomes dirty, we recommend simply cleaning it with a damp cloth.
Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol-based or corrosive products, scrapers or scourers to
clean the surface of a subwoofer. Keep the product away from sources of heat.
