REAR PANEL FEATURES

1. Binding Posts
The subwoofer has one pair of binding posts for connection with speaker wire to the
output posts of the Sunre HRSIW8AMP or Procient M3 amplier.
Always use high quality connections and speaker wires, and make sure there are no
loose ttings or stray wire strands. The spring connections accept bare wire or pins.
Connect the positive speaker-level output of the amplier to the positive (red) input
of the subwoofer. Connect the negative speaker-level output of the amplier to the
negative (black) input of the subwoofer.
Make sure that the positive and negative connections do not touch, or this may damage
your power amplier.
2. Speaker Wire Channel
To ease installation, the speaker wiring are passed through these channels to the
binding posts. This is recommended as the channel will support the weight of the
speaker cable, so it does not pull on the binding posts.
3. Clamps
Once the subwoofer is pressed into an opening in the sheetrock, screws on the front
panel are turned to pull the clamps out and down to press against the sheetrock, and
secure the subwoofer in place.

LOCATION
The suggestions below will typically result in outstanding performance. However,
although low frequencies are non-directional, factors such as room reections standing
waves, resonance and absorption will strongly affect your subwoofer’s performance.
Since your Procient subwoofer is designed to be professionally installed into your wall,
engineering services from your authorized Procient dealer and/or outside acoustical
resources should be considered to ensure optimum performance.
Preliminary
Before cutting a hole in your wall, it is always best to test the subwoofer in that location
rst. Place it on the floor near to the “possible” location, and connect it to the amplier.
Play some typical bass passages through the subwoofer. This will help you identify any
problems in the sound due to the location, and you may be able to nd a location that
sounds better.
Corner installation
Installing the subwoofer on the front wall, towards the corner will reinforce the low
frequencies. This is best suited for:
• Rooms larger than 200 square feet where a single subwoofer will be used
• For dedicated home theaters
• For listeners who enjoy “heavy” bass.
Corner location

Center Location
Installing the subwoofer closer to the center of the front wall will still provide adequate
bass, but will tend to be less “heavy” and somewhat tighter. This is ideally suited for:
• For rooms smaller than 200 square feet
• Dedicated music listening rooms.
Using Two Subwoofers
If you wish to use two subwoofers, the sound output will double. Each subwoofer will
need its own dedicated amplier.
Locating the subwoofers on the front wall, with one towards each corner will provide
more exibility in crossover points, without causing localization that can happen with
subwoofers located on side and rear walls. If your preamplier has a single sub/LFE
output, use a Y cable to split it into two outputs, one for each amplier.
