The big features of the subwoofer are its
high-efficiency Class D digital amplifier, and
its computer-optimized woofer and passive
radiator design. And, the Sunfire Dynamic
Series' extended frequency response means
that your subwoofer is the perfect match to
virtually any loudspeaker. The result is
extraordinarily high operating efficiency –
that is, more acoustic output for each watt
of input.

Unpacking
Although low frequencies are non-directional,
room reflections, standing waves, resonance
and absorption strongly affect the performance.
Moving the subwoofer from one corner to
another can have a major effect on the bass
response.

perfect condition. If you do notice any shipping
damage, please contact your Sunfire Dealer
immediately.
