II. Introduction PSB subwoofers are designed to provide the flattest possible frequency response, full bass extension, low distortion and high output. Frankly, these are characteristics that most manufacturers would strive for. Our years of experience and our sophisticated design and measurement tools allow us to achieve ideal subwoofer performance. Beyond these characteristics there are a few other parameters that we uniquely feel are very important in the design of a subwoofer. First a

CHS212 (CustomSound™ Series) The CHS212 is a custom installation subwoofer counterpart to our highly regarded SubSonic 10. Many high end home theater systems have most of their components, including the speaker, hidden away in cabinets. While this hides the clutter it can be detrimental to performance unless the effects of the equipment cabinet are taken into account. The same high power/high travel 12” woofers are used with the same 500 watt continuous, 750 watt peak amplifier. The cab

power your main amplifier produces, and ensures a good match between the low-frequency amplifier and the woofer it is paired with. After size, the most important aspect of a listening room is its shape. In any room, sound reflects off the walls, ceiling, and floor. If the distance between two opposite parallel surfaces is a simple fraction of the wavelength of a particular frequency, notes of that frequency will bounce back and forth in perfect phase—an effect called a standing wave or room

is that while bass output diminishes somewhat, it also becomes more uniform throughout the room, with fewer of the “standing waves” that produce peaks and nulls at various points. Chances are things won't be so simple, so the best method for positioning a subwoofer, although a rather undignified-looking one, is to put the subwoofer in your listening chair, then play music with lots of bass through the system something with steady low frequencies (such as organ music) or continuous test tones,

than about 80Hz in order to avoid gaps in the overall system response, then you might well be able to localize specific sounds from the sub. This can be very distracting when these sounds appear to come from beside or behind you. One solution is to make sure the subwoofer is in the front of the listening area; another is to use multiple subwoofers to make such sounds more diffuse. Subwoofers also offer a phase control so the upper frequencies they produce will not cancel out the lower freque

VIII. Connecting The Subwoofer To Your Audio System There are several ways to connect a subwoofer into a system. For best results overall, we recommend using Low/Line Level connections. When making a Low/Line Level connection, be sure to follow the coding on the cables to maintain left-to-left and right-to-right. Use high quality, well-shielded, low capacitance RCA cables of minimal necessary length, to avoid picking up noise in the cable runs. When making a High/Speaker Level connection, in

C. Connecting Stereo Equipment With High/Speaker Level (see Figure 5, page 17): You also can get excellent sonic results by connecting the High/Speaker Level Output of your receiver, integrated amplifier or power amplifier to the High Level Input of the subwoofer. Use standard speaker cable and maintain polarity + , as well as right and left side. D. Using Multiple Subwoofers (see Figure 6, page 18): Particularly in difficult rooms with difficult layouts, using two subwoofers is an alternative
