Page 5 SV Subwoofers About your SV Subwoofer There maybe be other subwoofers that look like them, but virtually none work like them. Not at this price. SV Subwoofers are decidedly different in how they are designed, produced, sold, and even in the exceptionally high quality components we use. The best part? You could have spent much more and still not come close to the performance our subwoofers provide. So, what makes a subwoofer an SVS? Quality components, sane prices. You mig

Page 6 Page 6 SV Subwoofers Setup, calibrating and integration What’s to know? Well, first of all, setting up an SV Subwoofer is pretty darn easy. There are a few key things to get right though if you want to get the most out of your sub… Unpacking. You’re probably eager to fire up your sub, but take time to carefully unpack everything. Save the box and shipping materials, just in case you need to return the sub for any reason. Location. They say it’s ALL about location rig

SV Subwoofers Page 7 SV Subwoofers More Setup, calibrating and integration If you are running a pair of SV Subwoofers (fig. 2), you will need to use a standard “Y” cable adapter (c.) The best adaptor to use for this task has one male RCA connection and two female RCA outputs. From the “Y” cable you can run a standard 75 Ohm RCA to RCA signal cable (d.) to each sub, thus “splitting” the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) and other bass signals from your receiver and effectively feeding bo

Use a well-shielded RCA cable (sometimes called a “patch cord”) to hook to the subwoofer output of your DD/DTS receiver to the RCA input jack of your SVS amplifier. As mentioned earlier, you’ll need to “split” the subwoofer signal with a “Y Cable” if you bought a pair of subs. • Is your Radio Shack ® sound pressure level (SPL) meter ready? This tool is absolutely essenti

Tastes vary, and so do movie soundtracks, but your SVS is capable of tremendous levels of low distortion, low frequency bass — far more than most commercial subs. Take advantage of this, especially if you like action movies with lots of “.1” channel (LFE) action, and give the sub a bit more “bump” during calibration. Keep in mind too that the hu

Since some of your room’s bass might come from main, center and/or surround speakers, as well as your sub, getting these bass wave forms to arrive in a complementary fashion is the difficult job of the phase control. Essentially, “phase” varies the timing of the bass waves coming from the sub. But don’t despair if you don’t hear much difference, especially if running a single subwoofer. Bass “cancellation” will vary by room shape, volume, and
