Paradigm Monitor SUB 8 - Manuel (Page 9)

CONTROL FACILITIES
CONNECTION (Fig. 3)
The USB port allows for:
• Connection of optional Paradigm Perfect Bass Kit (PBK
™ );
• Possible future upgrades to the software installed in
your subwoofer.
Even when the world’s finest speakers are perfectly
positioned, the room can still have a dramatic impact on
performance. Room dimensions, dead spots, archways,
furniture placement and countless other factors can turn
a room into an additional instrument, playing alongside
musicians or movie scores with unwanted contributions
of coloration and resonance. Although the Control Facilities included on your Paradigm ®
subwoofer allow you to fine tune for optimal bass
performance in your room, Paradigm’s Perfect Bass Kit
(PBK
™ )
(sold separately, see Dealer) allows you to correct
for the effects of your room’s boundaries.

Auto-On/Off/Standby
Automatic sensing feature inherent within the amplifier’s
design. No action on the user’s part is required.
Subwoofer Level
Balances the subwoofer output level to your speakers.
For instructions on setting the Subwoofer Controls once your
subwoofer has been connected refer to the section
on “Fine Tuning”.
Subwoofer Cut-Off Frequency
Controls the subwoofer’s upper-frequency cut-off. This can be
set to match the low-frequency roll-off characteristics of your
front speakers. For example, if your front speakers play to
approximately 80 Hz, you can set the subwoofer cut-off
frequency to approximately 80 Hz.
Subwoofer/Satellite Phase Alignment
The sound from your subwoofer may arrive at the listening
position out of phase with the front speakers. This control
synchronizes the subwoofer and the front speakers through
their frequency overlap region.
