Listening For A Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. VocoPro and the Electronic
Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing 'comfort level' adapts to a higher volume of sound. So what sounds
'normal' can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for
a lifetime.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud
noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer
Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for
your protection.
Some common decibel ranges:
Level
Example
30
40
50
60
70
80
Quiet library, Soft whispers
Living room, Refrigerator, Bedroom away from traffic
Light traffic, Normal Conversation
Air Conditioner at 20 ft., Sewing machine
Vacuum cleaner, Hair dryer, Noisy Restaurant
Average city traffic, Garbage disposals, Alarm clock at 2 ft.
The following noises can be dangerous under constant exposure:

Before Getting Started
Safety
1. Power Source - Operate only from a power source as directed on the unit or in the operating instructions.
2. Polarization - If your unit is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other), this plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Note: Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by trying to grind the larger metal blade
down till it fits in the outlet.
3. Cord Placement - Do not allow anything to rest on, roll over, or pinch the power cord, and do not place the
power cord where it is subject to traffic and abuse. This may result in an electrical shock or fire hazard.
4. AC Outlet - Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous as well as frayed cords and broken
plugs. Avoid compounding these situations by plugging in more appliances to such outlets. Also, try to remove
appliances with damaged cords or plugs before adding any more appliances to the area.
5. Nonuse Periods - When the unit is not used, turn the power off. When left unused for a long period of time,
the unit should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Understanding Subwoofers
Before we get into finding a location for the SUB-1500 and making any connections, we want to be sure we
explain some fundamental principles about subwoofer performance. Simply hooking up a subwoofer to an audio
system like a loudspeaker can significantly compromise the performance of the subwoofer, and at times even
make the system sound worse. Below are some important guidelines regarding subwoofer installations that can
help you get a better sound in less time.
Room Acoustics
The low frequency response and efficiency of a subwoofer are heavily influenced by the acoustics of the playback
environment. More specifically, the response is influenced by the room's dimensional ratios, types of construction
and location of the subwoofer within that environment. You can significantly improve the subwoofers in-room
response and efficiency by experimenting with various room placements until you find an optimum location.
General acoustical guidelines to be kept in mind:
• Every acoustic space is unique and experimentation is an important key in finding the best possible
location in your particular environment.
• A subwoofer becomes more acoustically efficient (has greater output) as you move it closer to a room
surface (e.g. wall or floor).
• A subwoofer will give maximum output and maximum acoustic excitement when it is located in a corner.
• Under certain acoustic conditions, corner locations are optimum; in others, they can excite multiple "room
modes", producing "muddy" or "boomy" sound.
Localization
A subwoofer generates tremendous energy, so it may vibrate objects close to it. If you hear buzzing or vibrating
objects, make sure to try to dampen those objects. Rattling, buzzing and other sympathetic resonance can make
a subwoofer's performance localized. This localization of sound usually prevents a full-toned, full-spectrum sound,
and therefore should be avoided. Many times localization can be heard through surface vibration, but using a sine
wave generator is probably the most accurate method.

Placement Precautions
Magnetic Shielding Precautions
The SUB-1500 is not magnetically shielded and may damage a TV if placed in very close proximity. If you suspect
or see any color distortion anywhere on a nearby TV, the SUB-1500 may be too close and should be moved away
from the TV until the color distortion disappears.
Basic Precautions
DO NOT...
• Place your subwoofer directly against a wall, leave at least a minimum of 1" of space.
• Place against a radiator, panel heater or forced air-heating outlet
• Place outdoors or in a humid environment
• Plug into an AC mains outlet until all your system wiring is completed.
Interference
If you are familiar with wireless microphone systems, we are NOT talking about RF type interference, but rather
acoustic interference, or the direct sonic radiation mixed with reflections from adjacent surfaces (especially
floors, rear walls and side walls). These sound reflections can be either in or out of phase. What is coming in
phase with the direct sonic radiation will reinforce the sound, and what is coming out of phase with the direct
sonic radiation will weaken or cancel the sound.
If reflections will inevitably occur due to a forced location, try to get as many reflections as possible to arrive in
phase with the direct sonic radiation. In addition, it is highly recommended to ensure this is true throughout the
entire working frequency range of the SUB-1500 (40- 120 Hz), because different frequencies have different
lengths and movement (Refer to Advanced Operation for more information on phase adjustments).

The Importance of Location
As earlier mentioned, room acoustics have an enormous impact on the sound of speakers, especially
subwoofers. A phenomenon called "standing waves" makes bass response uneven from place to place in your
room. To experience with this yourself, put on a CD with a strong, consistent bass line. Notice how the volume of
the bass goes up and down as you move around the room. Stand in one place and then squat down. You will
probably notice that the bass changes in the vertical plane as well! Because a subwoofer's location affects how
standing waves are created, the first step to getting accurate bass response is finding the right spots for your
SUB-1500 and your listening position.

Getting Started (cont.) Importance of Location
Corner Placement
This is the advice most often given because it usually yields a "loud" bass signal, however corner mounting
also may cause the SUB-1500 to sound monotone and extra boomy on music. If excessive bass volume is
your goal, this may be the answer for you and is worth trying.

Symmetrical Placement
Avoid putting the SUB-1500 the same distance from two walls. For example, if you have a 20' wide room, don't
put the SUB-1500 10' from each wall. Similarly, don't put the SUB-1500 at equal distances from the floor to
ceiling. Instead, stagger the distances to each wall by at least 15%.

Getting Started (cont.) Importance of Location
Quick and Basic Placement Method
Finding the proper position for the SUB-1500 is actually quite simple. You'll be happy to know that it doesn't
require any special test equipment either. The only problem is, once you find the correct position, you may not
like where it is. That's because it might not be tucked conveniently away in a corner or along a wall where it's out
of the way. In fact, in might very well be in the way of something you need to step around or over every time you
walk by. So, after all is said and done, you may find that you'd rather subscribe to the "anywhere" theory of
subwoofer placement after all. However, if you want to place your subwoofer in the proper position, read on.
The quickest way to place your SUB-1500 is to wire it up and place it in your favorite listening position, or the
position where you'll be listening most of the time. For a small audience, that would be the seating area, relatively
aligned with the stereo spectrum (left and right loudspeakers). For the recording engineer, that would be the
main chair that's positioned perfectly in the stereo spectrum. For a performer or KJ/DJ, it would be in the
central audience area. Next, play some music with plenty of low frequency content and walk around the room. It's
actually best to get on your hands and knees and crawl around with your ear to the floor, however that could lead
to body strain, accidents, excessive sneezing and should only be performed carefully with another person around
if possible. Either way, as you move around, listen carefully to the low frequencies. The proper place in the room
for the SUB-1500 is where the lows sound the best. Once you've found that position, simply exchange yourself
with the SUB-1500. If you find that you cannot live with the SUB-1500's optimal position, placing it in the corner
is for many different reasons, the most universally accepted location.
Loudspeakers and Proximity
Although bass sounds are non-directional, cabinet resonance and other factors conspire to make this less true in
practice than in theory. It'll be much easier to get seamless blending between SUB-1500 and main speakers if
they are in close proximity to eachother.

Connecting the SUB-1500 (cont.)
Connecting to a Device with No Pre-amp Outputs
If no line-level pre-outs are available, you need to run the speaker cables from your main amplifier to the SUB-
1500. Run the main LEFT and RIGHT speaker cables to the SUB-1500 HI-LEVEL IN binding posts. Be sure to
double check that the polarity (-/+) on the receiver or amplifier matches the polarity on the binding posts of
the subwoofer amplifier. Also, make sure that the - outputs on your main amp are true ground, otherwise you
would short the output of your main amplifier. Call or email technical support if the - outputs on your main
amplifier do not have true ground.
Low-level Connection (RCA)
The full-range signal is sent to the SUB-1500 via the line-level or pre-out RCA jacks from your receiver/mixer.
The SUB-1500's adjustable low-pass filter feeds the specified low frequency range for SUB-1500 output.
Benefit:
RCA audio cables are less expensive that MDP cables. This is the quickest method of subwoofer connection
Use if:
• Your connecting device is a pre-amp mixer with pre-outs.
• You have a receiver with a Subwoofer (LFE) Out jack.

Connecting to a Device with Separate Components
If you only have one set of pre-outs on your receiver/mixer and need to send the signal to the SUB-1500 and
another device, first send the signal to the SUB-1500 via the LINE IN (RCA) jacks. Next, from the LINE OUT
(RCA) jacks, connect a patch cable to the AUDIO INPUT jacks on your other external device.
Connecting to a Dolby Digital or DTS Receiver/Pre-amp
All Dolby Digital and/or DTS processors have a subwoofer/LFE output. If you decide to use a subwoofer/LFE
output connection (mono) to the SUB-1500, connect an RCA-plugged patch cable from the subwoofer/LFE
output to either the "L" or "R" channels of the LINE IN jacks (RCA) on the SUB-1500.

NOTE: These inputs are typically used for connecting
to a system that does not have "pre-out" or line level
outputs available.

direct connection to main system speakers or external devices.
2. PHASE switch - This switch toggles the PHASE of the
subwoofer with respect to the main speakers. If the
subwoofer is out of phase with the main speakers, bass
response is at a reduced performance level and may sound
"weak". When all speakers are in phase, full-frequency
response is at an optimal level.
NOTE: These inputs are typically used for signal
output to main speakers or for daisy chaining.

Powering On Test
With the VOLUME control at minimum (fully counter-clockwise) plug your SUB-1500's power cord into any AC
compatible wall outlet. The red power indicator LED will stay on as long as the SUB-1500 is plugged-in. If for any
reason you do not want your SUB-1500 on, simply place it in AUTO-MODE by moving the switch to AUTO to have
it turn itself off after 10 minutes of inactivity, or unplug it.
Please ensure that your receiver's loudness control is off and that the bass tone control is in its middle (flat or no
boost) position. Now play some music with ample bass content.
Adjust the VOLUME level for the SUB-1500 so that the output level is satisfactory relative to your front speakers.
If either of your front speakers are not functioning properly, please postpone SUB-1500 installation until they are
in working order to ensure a correct first attempt.
Adjust the PHASE switch to determine which position sounds the most natural and powerful. The difference
should be most audible in the mid-bass. If you cannot detect a difference, leave the PHASE switch in the + (in-
phase) position. (see Advanced Operations for more on phase)
Adjust the SUB-1500's CROSSOVER and determine what position sounds best. This feature controls the output
level of the mid and lower bass frequencies.
Please note that if you have hooked up the SUB-1500 to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver via its LFE
jack, due to the low pass filter already in the receiver, the SUB-1500's CROSSOVER control would
be best left at the highest frequency (fully clockwise).
The best VOLUME level, PHASE switch and CROSSOVER positions will mostly be determined by your room
acoustics, the mid and upper bass frequency response characteristics of your front speakers, and your personal
preferences. The source material will also play a significant role as its bass level and qualities may vary
considerably.
NOTE: If you have a Dolby Pro-Logic Home Theater system, we recommend that your receiver's
center channel mode is in the NORMAL position. This will ensure that all low bass information is
sent to your subwoofer.
If you have a Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS Home Theater system, we recommend that you have correctly
configured your receiver's Bass Management System so that all of your speakers are properly categorized as
either SMALL or LARGE. This will ensure that all appropriate low bass information is sent to your subwoofer. As
a general rule, a speaker with an 8" or greater diameter woofer may be considered LARGE. Conversely, a
speaker with a woofer less than 8" in diameter may be considered SMALL

Troubleshooting
Solution
Problem
• Check the subwoofer's volume setting and
all connections. If your receiver has a
subwoofer on/off or variable subwoofer
output level control, ensure that the
subwoofer option it is turned on and that
the output level is at maximum.
• No Sound Only from Subwoofer
• Make sure that the subwoofer's RCA
cable is connected to the receiver's
subwoofer output and not the subwoofer
input jack.
• Check: subwoofer volume / frequency /
phase control positions; receiver tone
controls; program material; ensure that
the center channel mode on the receiver
is in the NORMAL or SMALL position. If
your receiver has a variable subwoofer
output level control, ensure that the
output level is at maximum.
• Too Little Bass
• Try moving the subwoofer further into a
corner or towards the wall.
• Check: subwoofer volume / frequency /
phase control positions; receiver bass /
loudness controls; program material;
move subwoofer further out of corner or
away from wall.
• Too Much Bass
• Check for faulty phono connecting cable.
• Hum
• Try to separate phono cables from power
cords (they can induce hum into the
system). If that doesn't work, we
recommend you turn off your subwoofer
when it is not in use. This is most easily
accomplished connecting its power cord
to a switched power outlet on the back of
your receiver.
