Subwoofer Placement Your Definitive Technology subwoofer has been designed to operate at frequencies generally below 150 Hz. Because low-frequency infor- mation in this range essentially is non-directional, your subwoofer can be located anywhere in your listening room that is most convenient.

Operating Controls Your Definitive Technology ProSub subwoofer is equipped with a full complement of operating controls to ensure complete flexibility and maximum performance in any installation.

current going to it will reactivate itself with a pop when AC current is restored, which is normal. Please note that after the cessation of a signal, it may take up to an hour for the amplifier to actually turn off from active to standby mode. In some instances, because of RF presence in your area, the red LEDs may not turn off. However, this is nothing to be concerned about as the amplifiers draw almost no power when they are idling.
