Break-In
Although your Paradigm ® Reference Signature subwoofer will sound great “out of the carton” it will sound even better
when broken in. Allow it to operate for several hours before you begin to listen critically.
Cleaning
Your subwoofer has a durable premium finish. To clean, use a damp soft cloth. Do not use a strong or abrasive
cleaner. Avoid getting any part of the subwoofer system wet. Do not place wet objects (drinking glasses, potted
plants, etc.) directly on top of your new subwoofer. A coaster must be used every time. If allowed to soak in, even
a small amount of water may permanently damage the gorgeous high-end furniture finish.
YOUR NEW SUBWOOFER
ABSOLUTE POWER … IS VERY VERY COOL
The “Watts” (W) rating indicated on the rear panel is the typical power your subwoofer will draw during normal use.
However, when producing its maximum power output, the actual wattage draw will vary with the bass content
of the program material—more if there is a lot of deep bass, less when there is not as much bass. Connected to
a regular 120-volt line SUB 1 and SUB 2 will deliver every ounce of state-of-the-art performance we promise …
and more! However …
A Note About the Absolutely Insane Power Capabilities of SUB 2
SUB 2 boasts the most powerful amplifier we have ever designed. It boasts a Universal Input Power Feature which
allows the subwoofer to operate connected to any line voltage between 108 volts and 265 volts. To get every ounce,
and we do mean EVERY ounce, of performance SUB 2 was designed to deliver, aka Maximum RMS Continuous
Power, connect SUB 2 to a
dedicated 240-volt/15-amp circuit. This type of connection must be done by a
certified electrician. Detailed information on this can be found later in this manual in the section ‘Universal Input
Power in SUB 2.’
For convenience, packed in the carton along with your SUB 2 are two power cords: a 120-volt / 15-amp cord and a
240-volt / 15-amp cord.
