Owner’s manual
Introduction Congratulations on choosing the Acoustic Energy AELITE Sub, a powerful, active subwoofer loudspeaker which is capable of outstanding Hi-Fi and home cinema performance. Please take a few moments to read this manual. The advice it contains will enable you to get the very best performance out of your Acoustic Energy loudspeaker. The AELITE Sub is capable of handling 200 watt RMS with a clean bass response extending to 25 Hz in the listening environment.
Operation FRONT PANEL 1. Crossover frequency knob Adjusts the balance at the crossover point between the bass (low frequencies) from the AELITE Sub and the treble (high frequencies) continuing to the main stereo front speakers. 2. Sub level volume control knob Adjusts the volume level output of the subwoofer, allowing you to balance the volume of the AELITE Sub to blend in with your main stereo speakers.
Positioning Connections The AELITE Sub is virtually omni-directional, so it can be positioned in almost any location in the room. For the best performance in the ideal room the subwoofer should be positioned in a corner of the room or near a back wall. In certain circumstances the addition of a second AELITE Sub located in another position in the room helps to achieve a more uniform bass. Check that both your amplifier and subwoofer are switched off before connection.
Connections 2. For use with amplifiers having line level pre-amp jacks: The pre-amp outputs of your amplifier can be connected to the line-level inputs on the AELITE Sub. The line level outputs on the AELITE Sub are then connected back to the power amp (main) inputs on your amplifier. This provides the greatest power handling for the stereo speakers. ACO 3.
Connections 4. For use with televisions with a variable audio output. Some of the latest televisions are equipped with variable audio out puts. These can be connected directly to the line level inputs on the AESPRIT Sub to enhance the bass response of the television’s built-in speaker. ACO OPTION: 5. For use with two AELITE Subs Using parallel speaker cables from the speaker terminals on your amplifier connect to the High level speaker inputs on the corresponding left/right AELITE Subs.
How to use the controls How to use SUB VOLUME CONTROL knob, CROSSOVER FREQUENCY knob and PHASE switch. The volume control, frequency knob and phase switch can be adjusted to match the condition of the listening room and/or the characteristics of the left and right front speakers.
