5.1 AmpParamètres de lifier
Référez-vous à votre amplifier's instruction manual for detailed setup. Key settings to adjust include:
- Gain Control: Réglez le gain pour qu'il corresponde au volume de sortietage of your head unit. Start low and gradually increase until desired volume is reached without distortion.
- Filtre passe-bas (LPF) : Set the LPF to filter out high frequencies, typically between 80Hz and 120Hz, allowing only bass frequencies to reach the subwoofer.
- Filtre subsonique : If available, set this filter to protect the subwoofer from playing frequencies below its resonant frequency, typically around 25-30Hz.
- Renforcement des basses: The S12T features a bass boost capability. Use this feature sparingly and with caution to avoid overdriving the subwoofer and amplifier. Excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and damage.
