9. HIGH PASS section for more detail The goal is to avoid setting the filter at too high a frequency causing an overlap with the lower fre quency range of your main speakers This can create excess bass energy which may result in muddy and indistinct low frequencies Setting the LOW PASS control at too low a frequency may cause the output of the subwoofer to sound disconnected from the upper bass being reproduced by the main speakers This creates a dip in the bass response since neither speaker is covering this band of frequencies In some cases you may elect to feed your main speakers a full range signal In these situations the LOW PASS control should be set near the low frequency limit of your main speakers In all cases experiment due to variability in speaker placement room acoustics and associated equipment R efer to Figures A and D pages 8 and 9 LEVEL The LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the subwoofer relative to your main speakers It adjusts the amount of bass output to compensate for room acoustics and personal taste This control effects the signals that are connected to the LINE IN jacks the LFE IN SUB jack and the HI LEVEL binding posts It does not effect the volume level of your main speakers Suggested control position for initial setup 10 to 12 o clock with the AV BOOST 3 dB switch at 0 dB PHASE The PHASE switch is used to reverse the polarity phase of t
