About Earthquake Sound Corporation For over 28 years, Earthquake Sound has been producing a variety of high quality audio products that have impressed audiophile communities around the world. It all started in 1984 when Joseph Sahyoun, a music freak and Aerospace Engineer unhappy with the existing loud speaker technology and performance, decided to put his advance engineering knowledge to use. He pushed technological boundaries to the limit to create the kind of subwoofer he could live with.

Control Panel Overview (1) (2) MONO DSP (3) The Sound That Will Move You (4) (5) (1) LED Power Signal Indicator This LED indicator reflects the main power status of the amplifier as well as the state of the amplifier (whether the AUTO Sensing is on/off and whether signal is being fed to the amplifier). Note that this LED will only light up when the main power switch is in the ON position.
Control Panel Overview continued MONO DSP (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (6) Pairing Used to reset iWoofer™ lock password. To remove password press/hold for 3 seconds. The default password is “0” (7) IR Input Simply plug the remote eye provided in the IR INPUT. Once plugged in, place the remote eye anywhere in the room where it is convenient for the user to control the amplifier using the included remote control. (8) AUTO/ON/OFF Switch This is a 3-way switch.
Placing Your Subwoofer(s) You often hear the term “subwoofers are nondirectional.” This is not true. It is harder to choose subwoofer placement when low frequencies are crossed. The wider the room, the more directional the subwoofer. The easiest solution is to use two (2) subwoofers, feed a mono signal to both and place them in the front, one on the left and another on the right.
Connecting Your Subwoofer(s) Low Level Setup - Single Sub PRE OUT (SINGLE) back of typical processor/receiver This is the best way to drive an audio signal into the MiniMe DSP P10/P12. Today, all signal processors (5.1/6.1 and more advanced ones) come equipped with built-in pre-amplifier outputs (RCA) that include a subwoofer output. Generally, the SUB PRE OUT is in mono format. Connect the SUB PRE OUT from the processor/receiver to the MiniMe DSP P10/P12’s LOW LEVEL INPUT using a “Y” RCA cable.
Room Tuning With iWoofer™ App About iWoofer™ iWoofer™ is a mobile based application developed by ARTEM KHLYUPIN, that allows the user to control DSP settings from a mobile device. In addition to full DSP control, the iWoofer™ Pro app offers automatic room correction to achieve a more linear or boomy response from the woofer. After selecting your device, you will be prompted to import a DSP preset.
