Note: The overall volume for the sub and speakers together is controlled from
the input audio source.
If using the Sub Out feature on Audioengine 5 (A5) power speakers, the overall
system volume (sub + speakers) is controlled directly from the audio source and
not via the A5 front panel volume control.
Final Adjustments
1 After having connected your subwoofer in your preferred con guration,
set the subwoofer volume to about 50% and turn on the power switch.
Note: Refer to the "Controls" section in this Setup Guide for more in-depth
descriptions of the following settings.
2 Adjust the Volume level of your AS8 so that the subwoofer volume
matches the overall volume of your speakers. As mentioned in the previ-
ous "Controls" section, adjust the volume for the strongest bass without
being "boomy".
3 Fine-tune the Crossover setting by ear for the smoothest blend with your
main speakers.
4 Adjust the Phase control for the most bass from your favorite listening
position. As mentioned previously it is not uncommon for the subwoofer
to sound similar at every setting, depending on your room and location of
the subwoofer
There are no right or wrong settings but with these simple steps you should
be up and running within a few minutes. Steps 2, 3 and 4 may require repeat-
ing in order to ne-tune to your taste.
