Level adjustment

When you have decided upon which method

of connection you want and positioned the

subwoofer, you can commence the exciting

process of tuning the system. Please note that

positioning the subwoofer will have a lot of

inﬂ uence on its contribution to the overall sound.

If for example, the IKON S

UB is positioned in a

corner, the bass will be much heavier than if it is

positioned midway between two corners.

The following tuning methods are recommended

to achieve the best results. Use a piece of music

you know well, and that preferably includes

rhythmic bass such as kettle drums, bass guitar

etc.

Start with "Volume" in the middle of the dial (12

o’clock). Turn the "Phase" to position 180°, and

"Power" to the "ON" position.

Level adjustment

Adjust the volume of the IKON S

UB so that the

bass matches the level of the front speakers.

You should be able to appreciate the IKON S

UB's

contribution to the sound, without it ever being

over-powering. Bass must be tight and accurate,

so that the subwoofer reproduces the exact

amount of bass present in the music/soundtrack,

no more and no less. If installing the IKON S

UB in

a surround system, it is practical to select a ﬁ xed

level on the IKON S

UB and adjust subwoofer

output using the surround ampliﬁ er's setup func-

tion. If bass levels are set too high, distortion will

reduce the quality of your listening experience.

Please note that the position of the subwoofer

will have major inﬂ uence on its sonic contribu-

tion.
