Oppsett

1. Plassering

The Apex AW-12 is designed as a floor-standing subwoofer. For optimal performance, place the subwoofer on a solid, level surface. Experiment with different positions in your room to find the best bass response, typically in a corner or along a wall.

2. Tilkoblinger

Ensure all audio equipment is turned off before making connections.

  • Lydinngang: Connect the subwoofer to your A/V receiver or processor's subwoofer output (LFE) using a high-quality RCA cable.
  • 12V triggerinngang: If your A/V receiver or processor has a 12V trigger output, connect it to the subwoofer's 12V trigger input. This allows for automatic power activation/deactivation with your main system.
  • Strømtilkobling: Once all audio connections are made, connect the supplied AC power cord to the subwoofer's power inlet and then to a suitable wall outlet.

The Apex AW-12 features top-mounted controls for volume and EQ settings. Adjust the volume to blend seamlessly with your main speakers. The EQ settings allow you to fine-tune the bass response to suit your room acoustics and personal preference.
