n IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 10. Power Sources — The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit. IMPORTANT: READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU INSTALL OR OPERATE YOUR SUBWOOFER AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR LATER USE. 11. Accessories and Attachments — Only use accessories and attachments specified by the manufacturer. 1.
Design and Features Your subwoofer’s location relative to walls will influence the amount of bass it produces — placing the subwoofer next to a wall will increase bass output; placing it in a corner will maximize its bass output. However, corner placement can increase standing waves in the room (peaks and dips in bass response related to the room’s dimensions) that can make the subwoofer’s bass performance sound uneven at different listening locations.
Subwoofer Connections Connection Examples Power Connection Your Sonance Cabinet D8 Subwoofer features a removable IEC power connector for 115V (see Figure 2). Plug the female end of the power cord into the power cord connector on the subwoofer’s rear panel and plug the male end into a grounded wall socket. Do NOT plug the subwoofer’s power cord into a convenience outlet on any other audio or video component. Follow the connection example that best describes your audio system.

Subwoofer Adjustments Phase Adjustments When the subwoofer’s PHASE switch is in the 0 position, a positive input voltage will cause the woofer cone to move out (towards the room). When the PHASE switch is in the 180 position, a positive input voltage will cause the woofer cone to move in (away from the room) (see Figure 9). SonARC For Subwoofers Every Sonance Subwoofer comes with SonARC built in.
