How to Dock an Athena Technologies® Speaker to an Athena Technologies® Subwoofer Determine the ideal location for the speakers. Place the subwoofer in this location. Then, remove the two long rubber strips on the bottom, front of the speaker that cover the metal tracks. Remove the plastic cover on the top of the subwoofer, to expose the docking tracks. Lift up the speaker to the subwoofer's height, starting from the back of the subwoofer and line up the tracks. Slide the speaker forward on to the subwoofer, ensuring that both tracks are connected together. Stop movement when the speaker will not slide any further forward. The rear of both cabinets should be flush with each other. Your speakers are now securely attached. owners manual owners manual Now continue on to the connection section, and be sure to read the "Subwoofer Controls" section to adjust the controls correctly for use with your chosen speaker model. NOTE: Do not dispose of the plastic cover from the subwoofer top. It can be used on the subwoofer's front to cover the operational controls if you wish. It attaches like a speaker grille into the four recessed holes on the amplifier module. Subwoofer placement when used as a stand alone subwoofer The Athena Technologies® subwoofer can be placed virtually anywhere in your listening room without significantly affecting the stereo image of your main speakers. However, interactions between any subwoofer and a room's acoustic properties will have some impact on the overall bass performance. Reading this section will help you find a placement for the subwoofer in your room, which will yield the best bass performance. Start off by placing the subwoofer near a corner, which will produce maximum bass output, but may result in a "boomy" bass reproduction. Move the subwoofer away from the corner in stages to find the position that yields maximum bass output without "boominess". An effective method of determining the ideal subwoofer location is to place the subwoofer in your preferred listening position. Then, slowly walk the boundaries of the room until you've determined the spot where bass is at it's fullest. Switch positions between yourself and the subwoofer and the ideal location has been located. It is important to leave at least 4 inches (10cm) of clearance space between the subwoofer and walls or room furnishings. • SUBWOOFER AND SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CAUTION: On the subwoofer, do not use both low level (RCA) and high level (Speaker type connections) methods simultaneously. Turn off all power in your stereo system before proceeding with the installation of the subwoofer.Not doing so could result could result in shorting from the speakers leads and potential damage to the amplifier. High Level connecting the Subwoofer and Speakers On the rear of your Athena Technologies® subwoofer are two pairs of red and black binding posts for both left and right channel. One set is marked "Sub In" and one set is marked "Spkr Out", with each pair designated as left or right. Each post is color-coded black/red. These terminals will accept up to 16-gauge quality speaker wire. Connect the system one channel at a time, and start your process at the Receiver. Connect from the "Speaker Output" on the Receiver to the "Sub In" on the subwoofer, being careful to correctly match positive and negative, as well as left and right connections. A) If you have a pair of Athena Technologies® subwoofers and speakers, and they are docked as per earlier instructions, connect the speaker cable from the Receiver to the “Left Sub-In” on the subwoofer on both left and right speakers. As long as each speaker is docked correctly to the subwoofer, and the connection strap between the upper and lower connectors on the subwoofer are in place, then the speaker will receive the audio signal, eliminating the need to connect any cables directly to the speaker B) If you have one Athena Technologies® subwoofer and a pair of Athena Technologies® speakers, and one of the speakers is docked to one of the subwoofers, then perform the following steps: NOTE: The following example assumes the left speaker has the subwoofer docked to it. This is our recommendation as it is easier to understand. If however you wish to dock the subwoofer to the right speaker, you must reverse the below con...
