Included with your subwoofer are four optional spikes that
can be used` when the subwoofer is used on carpet.
If you are installing the subwoofer onto hardwood, tile or
other non-carpeted surfaces please use spike discs (Not
included), or do not install the spikes to prevent any dam-
age to your floor.
1. Attach the spikes by screwing them into the threaded inserts on each of the four cor-
ners on the bottom of the subwoofer.
2. The nut on the spike is used to the lock the spike at the desired height.

Placing a subwoofer in a corner excites most room
modes and oers the best chance of avoiding a null
area (a part of the room that experiences an acoustic
reduction in bass).
If placing the subwoofer in the corner creates an
excessive amount of bass, you can try moving the
subwoofer away from the wall or run Auto EQ feature
of the ELAC Sub Control APP to minimize the eect of
corner placement.

If you believe you are getting too much bass from having
your subwoofer located in a corner of the room, you can
position the subwoofer between your front left and right
speakers.
This will reduce “loading” of bass and can aid in reducing
localization of bass frequencies.

Front stage in the corners or adjacent to
the center channel.

Utilizing dual subwoofers can help distribute bass frequencies more evenly and provide better coverage in the
room.
Since every room is unique, If possible the best option is to move the subwoofers around the room and find the
location that sounds the best from your normal listening position. There are many test discs you can purchase that
provide the correct test signals for helping find this optimum location.
Note: The PHASE and DELAY functions built into the subwoofer will also help if you experience any placement
issues.

1. General information
• Please read and follow these safety instructions.
• Keep them safe for future reference.
• Observe all warnings on the speaker and in the manual. Please check the speaker for damage
before use. The speaker must be in perfect working condition. Damaged parts may lead to
personal injury.
2. Use only as directed
• Connect the speaker(s) according to the instructions in the manual.
• Many ELAC speakers are equipped with spikes and/or anti-slip feet. They are explicitly provided
for leveling the speaker. For leveling on an uneven floor, unscrew the spikes or anti-slip feet by
2-3 turns of thread. The speaker should always be in perfect vertical alignment: the stability of the
speaker must not be compromised by using spikes or anti-slip feet as the speaker may tip-over.
3. Location
• Install the speakers on a level surface only.
• When choosing the location of these speakers do not place them in locations that are:
• In direct sunlight
• Very humid
• Prone to vibrations
• Exceptionally hot or cold
• Near CRT Televisions (the speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause color
issues with a CRT based TV).sa
• Close to magnetic cards (Since the speakers are not magnetically shielded placing
magnetic cards such as credit cards or commuter cards may cause them to fail).
4. Overload
Please ensure the product is perfectly stable to avoid injury from tip-over. Please note, that
stability can be increased by using spikes on carpeted surfaces. However, the mounting of spikes
must be carried out carefully due to their very sharp ends which may cause injuries. The stability
on slippery floors can be increased by using Velcro fastening tape or double-sided adhesive
tape. Do not install the speaker near any heat sources such as radiators, heating valves, stoves,
or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat, or in areas where there is a risk of
explosion.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not install the speaker in a closed rack or in a closed cupboard.
• Do not put burning candles on or near the speaker.
• Do not install the speaker near transformers because electromagnetic stray fields can cause hum
noise on woofers.
• In combination with certain materials / lacquers / material surfaces, anti-slip feet or spike washers
may cause colored imprints on the surfaces.

5. Overload
Extreme overload of the device due to very high volume may cause individual components to
blow. Because of the possible danger, you should never leave loudspeakers under extreme
overload conditions unattended.
6. Service
DANGER! Do not open the cabinet because the components and conductors may carry
dangerous levels of electricity! Servicing to be carried out by qualified service personnel only.
Servicing is required when the loudspeaker has been damaged in any way, such as damage to
the power supply cord or the plug, or when liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
loudspeaker, the speaker has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open the loudspeaker. Servicing
to be carried out by qualified service personnel only .
7. Fuse links
Various faults in subwoofers or active speakers may cause the fuse to blow. If the fuse blows,
only replace it with the correct fuse type and rating as shown on the rear of the loudspeaker on
the fuse holder. A second fuse is included with the device (in the fuse holder beneath the mains
socket).
8. Cleaning
NOTE: Clean only with soft, smooth cloth or with dust brush. Do not use scouring agents, alcohol,
benzene, furniture polish or other agents for cleaning! Modern furniture is often coated with
multiple varnishes and plastics which can be treated with chemical agents. Some of these agents
contain substances which degrade or soften the rubber feet. Therefore, we advise you to place
an anti-slip mat underneath the loudspeaker.
9. Volume
CAUTION! Continuous high volume may cause severe damage to your hearing. Please listen
responsibly.
10.Disposal
The packaging is made from recyclable materials. Dispose of this in an environmentally friendly
manner. At end of product life do not dispose of the speaker(s) with standard household waste.
The speaker must be recycled in accordance with local legislation. Ask your local government
for further information on recycling as the device contains valuable raw materials. Disable the
speaker before disposal.
11. Power
This subwoofer is only intended to be connected to voltages that are listed on the rear panel of
the cabinet. Connection to any other voltage may cause irreversible damage to the subwoofer
and will void the warranty. Use of plug adapters is not recommended because they may allow
connection to voltages other than those printed on the back of this subwoofer.
