Introduction

Thanks for choosing the Model-One Subwoofer. Your Subwoofer is perfectly

matched both sonically and aesthetically to the Model-One Turntable Music

System. It may be used standalone with its beautiful tempered-glass top, or

integrated with the Model-One stand system to create a full range music system

with the smallest possible footprint.

While optimized for use with the Model-One system, it is also a great choice to

use as a companion to a high-quality audio system of any brand to extend its low

frequency performance.

Unlike common home-theater subwoofers, the Model-One Subwoofer design

prioritizes smooth frequency response and accurate impulse response over

sheer loudness. Its twin 10” Woofers in a sealed Acoustic Suspension design

provide smooth, extended bass response that perfectly matches the Model-One

Music System.

To get the most from your system, be sure to thoroughly review this manual and

heed the important safety instructions. If you have any questions not covered

here please contact Andover Audio support via email (support@andoveraudio.

com) or phone (+1 978.775.3670).

With the proper care and operation, your Andover product will provide many years

of trouble-free enjoyment.

Please save the carton and original packaging in case you ever need to move or

ship your unit.

is usually best to place the woofer a few feet to either side of center.

Corner placement will yield the strongest reinforcement of bass within the room,

but may also further exacerbate standing waves. You will need to try various

locations to determine what location works best on your particular room.

Your Model-One Subwoofer uses a digital crossover with a very sharp cutoff

above the selected frequency. This makes it possible to separate the subwoofer

location from the Model-One Turntable Music System by up to 12 feet and still

maintain a smooth blend with the main speakers. Once you have determined

When you install the Model-One Subwoofer as an integral part of the stand,

locate the Model-One system where for the best full range sound, as outlined

in the Model-One Turntable Music System manual. Placing the system near the

center of a wall, but not perfectly centered, will likely yield the best overall sound.

3. Prepare the top stand by

installing the 4 cam-lock pins

into the innermost threaded

holes. Screw them in fully, but do

not overtighten. Also press the

wooden alignment dowels fully

into the larger adjacent holes.

4. Place the top stand on the

subwoofer, being careful to align

the pins into the proper holes.

5. Insert locking cams into each

ofthe four holes and lock them by

turning the cams clockwise until

they stop.

6. Reinstall the grille by sliding it

carefully from the front until it is

fully seated.

7. Adjust the leveling feet if needed

to level the assembly.

Making the Initial Connections

1. Connect the power cord into the AC power input connector and plug the

other end into a grounded wall outlet.

2. Connect an RCA cable from the Subwoofer output of the source component

into the RCA jack input.

3. Switch the power switch adjacent to the AC input ON.

4. Switch the Power mode switch to the AUTO (middle) position.

If using the Model-One Turntable music system, set the Volume and Frequency

knobs to their center detent position. This is our factory-recommended setting.

Once the system is installed and operating, you may freely adjust these controls

to your taste.

The LED adjacent to the Power Mode switch indicates operating status. A Red

LED indicates the subwoofer is on and in Standby. When a signal is present,

the LED will turn green and the subwoofer will be active. After a few minutes of

silence, the woofer will return to Standby.
