For the best possible performa ce, it is stro gly recomme ded that the P15A amplifier be
co ected with a professio al XLR-type, shielded 2-wire cable to a bala ced output of the pre-
amplifier. Pi 1=Grou d, Pi 2=Normal polarity (“hot”) a d Pi 3=I verted polarity (“cold”).

The Procella P15A has a u bala ced Pho o i put to be used with a preamp or processor that o ly
has a u bala ced output. We stro gly recomme d that a shielded 2-wire cable with XLR
co ectors be used, with a adapter at the pre-amplifier e d. This will produce the lowest oise
level a d best sou d quality.
•The u bala ced Pho o output co ector of the Procella P15A should o ly be used for li ki g to additio al
Procella P15A subwoofers.
•The "Sig al"LED is gree whe a i put sig al is detected. Whe the LED
switches to Red, the i put sig al is too high a d the amplifier is clippi g.
CAUTION: Do not run the P15A subwoo er at clip level or extended periods!
•The “Gai ” co trol should be used to set the level. Whe setti g subwoofer
levels through a preamp or processor, the Gai co trol should be adjusted so
that the SUB output from the processor matches the LCR loudspeakers
output.
•
The "Polarity" switch ca be used to match the polarity of the Procella P15A
to the L-C-R speakers at the liste i g positio . This is importa t because of
variables i the system such as the pre-amplifier, crossover order a d room
positio of both the mai speakers a d the subwoofer.
•
The Procella P15A amplifier has two user-selectable presets for room
positio i g of the subwoofer:
WALL Positio ed o the floor a d agai st a wall.
CORNER Positio ed o the floor, agai st a wall a d close to a cor er.
•Without test equipme t, the correct positio ca be determi ed by a liste er
seated at the mai liste i g positio . With a part er at the subwoofer, play
music with promi e t mid-bass co te t through the system. While liste i g
to the playback, the liste er should i struct the part er whe to cha ge the
Polarity switch, carefully liste i g for cha ges i the mid-bass level. The
switch setti g that produces the greatest bass output is the correct setti g.
•To calibrate the Auto Power O circuit:
1. Co ect the subwoofer cable to the Pre-amp or processor.
2. Set the power switch o the Pre-amp or processor to ON (or out of
Sta dby), with o source playi g.
3. O the subwoofer, move the switch to Set. The Sta dby LED will start
bli ki g rapidly.
4. Whe the LED bli ki g rate slows dow , move the switch to Auto.
•You ca co firm that you have the correct setti g by playi g a y disc a d
verifyi g that the Sta dby LED switches to Gree whe the material starts
playi g. If the LED tur s gree without a y source playi g, check your i stallatio a d cable routi g for AC
mai s or sig al i terfere ce.
The Procella P15A is desig ed for use with a 4th order Li kwitz-Riley, low pass crossover at 80-125Hz. The
