OPERATION OPERATION
button again to return the phase to 0°.
•Pure Satellite Button
Use the Pure Satellite button to mute the subwoofer (Mute function: see
Subwoofer Mute) so that the audio signal is transmitted without any
ltering to the satellite speakers. This allows you to switch easily between
satellites + subwoofer mode and pure satellite mode (without subwoofer
and without any ltering).
•System Volume (+)/(-) Buttons
Use the System Volume (+) and (-) buttons to increase or decrease the total
volume (subwoofer + satellites).
•Sub Volume (+)/(-) Buttons
Use the Sub Volume (+) and (-) buttons to increase or decrease the
subwoofer volume, and thus balance the level between subwoofer +
satellites (see Subwoofer Volume Adjustment).
•Sub Filter (+)/(-) Buttons
Use the Sub Filter (+) and (-) buttons to set the cuto frequency of the
subwoofer’s low-pass lter and to select the LFE mode (see Sub Filter).
•Mute Button
Press the Mute button to mute the whole system (subwoofer + satellites)
(see System Mute). Press the button again to exit the Mute mode.
3.13. Power Switch
The power switch on the rear panel disconnects the subwoofer completely
from the power grid. When powered o all settings are saved and the
power consumption is reduced to 0 watts.
After powering on again, the subwoofer will return to the state it was in
before being turned o (Standby mode, Mute mode or a given volume
level). Even if powered o via a multiple outlet power strip, the subwoofer
will return to the state it was in before being turned o.
!In order to prevent switching noise with your monitoring system, keep in
mind the following rules:
Power all audio sources on rst, then the subwoofer and then the satellites.
When turning o your system, power o the satellites rst, then the
subwoofer and nally all audio sources.
3.14. DIP Switches
On the rear panel of your EVE Audio subwoofers you will nd four DIP
Switches. These allow you to secure your subwoofer settings to prevent
them from being changed inadvertently.
•Filter
When set to “lock,” this DIP Switch secures the current lter settings. The
lter settings can be read on the LED ring of the System Volume control on
the front panel, but they cannot be modied. When set to “var,” the lters
can be modied freely.
•Volume
When set to“lock,” this DIP Switch secures the current volume settings. The
LED rings on the front panel indicate the volume settings of the subwoofer
and the satellites, but they cannot be modied. When set to “var,” the
volume setting can be changed by simply turning the knob.
•Not used
No Function.
•Max. Input
This DIP Switch determines the input sensitivity of the subwoofer. In a
studio environment, the maximum level (0dB) ought to be 4dBu. In such
environments, leave the setting at “+7dBu.” However, some studio gear
allow much higher output levels. If it were impossible to reduce the output
level of such devices, set the switch to “+22dBu.”
The “+7dBu”setting ought to be suitable for most situations.
3.15. Mains Voltage Selector
The Mains Voltage Selector allows you to adjust the operating voltage of
your EVE Audio subwoofer to the local power grid. Set it to “230” if your
local power grid is 220-240 volts or“115” if it is 110-120 volts.
If you change the mains voltage value you also have to replace the fuse of
the IEC connector with an appropriate one. The corresponding fuse values
are printed on the unit underneath the IEC connector.
3.16. Power Connector (IEC)
Use the power cord supplied to connect your EVE Audio subwoofer to
the power grid. The IEC connector includes an integrated fuse. If your EVE
Audio loudspeaker stops working and the fuse seems to be the problem,
proceed as follows:
•Turn the subwoofer o.
•Disconnect it from the power grid.
•Detach the IEC connector from the unit.
