Using the Gold W12

The default settings of the Gold W12 are enough
to get you using the product as intended. You can
then tweak and adjust them using the control dial
for basic settings, or more advanced settings via
the SubConnect application. By default all of the
presets are the same except for the EQ profiles.
Once in position and the cables have been run and
connected (mains cable last), turn on the Gold W12
but do not play any music or movies yet. The room
correction should be run before any further settings
are changed and before any automatic setup is
started on the AV receiver.

Power Cycle

When woken up from standby by one of the
below methods, all of the LEDs will illuminate on
the top, then fading off in a sequence leaving only
the volume trim level and selected preset number
LEDs illuminated. These will then fade to 10%
or off, dependant on the chosen settings. The
fade settings can be adjusted in the SubConnect
application.

Waking Up

There are a number of different ways that the Gold
W12 becomes operational:
Remote: By pressing the standby button on the
remote, the Gold W12 will wake from standby.
When woken in this mode, the auto turning off will
function as normal. However, if the Gold W12 is
turned off by the remote, it will only turn on at next
use, by either the control dial (see below) or by the
remote. The auto signal sensing will be disabled.
Control Dial: When woken by pressing or turning
the control dial, the Gold W12 will continue to
remain on while a signal is present or until the
defined auto off time has been reached (default 20
minutes).
Signal Sense: This method is fully automatic. The
Gold W12 will wake when it receives a signal on
any of its inputs. It will then go into standby after
the defined period of time (default 20 minutes).
12V Trigger: This is a method of control by the AV
receiver or amplifier. Whenever the source amplifier
is turned on, the Gold W12 will wake. Likewise
when the source amp is turned off, the Gold W12
will also turn off.
RS232: This method of control is defined by the
home automation control. Further details on this
8
method of control and the programming can be
found.

Room Correction

The Gold W12 has a sophisticated room correction
algorithm that detects any unwanted room modes
and flattens them out to give the most accurate
bass response possible.
NOTE
To ensure there are no interruptions in the room
correction sweep tests, you must disconnect
the RS232 cable (if connected) until the room
correction has been completed.
To carry out the room EQ, simply connect the
supplied microphone to the input socket on the
front of the Gold W12 and place the microphone
in the seating position. To get the most accurate
response, point the mic up to the ceiling. The Gold
W12 will run 2 sweeps by default, but this can be
changed in the SubConnect application under Tools
> Room Correction.
NOTE
This should be run on the sub woofer before
running the set up calibration on any other
equipment.
With the mic in the first position, press and hold the
control dial as it counts down, it will illuminate all
outer (main indicator) LEDs and then flash. When it
flashes you can then release the dial. After the first
sweep, there will be a pause of about 20 seconds.
In this time you can either move to a new location
or leave it in the same location before a second
sweep is run. This pause can be cancelled by
pressing the control dial again and the next sweep
will start immediately.
The Gold W12 will then run through the room
correction by playing a number of test tones. If the
test has been successful, the LEDs will illuminate in
a "happy face" arrangement. If it fails then it will be
a "sad face" arrangement.
