look and sound great either way.
Arendal Sound products are using HDF thicknesses
ranging from 18 to 50mm throughout the designs, with
critical areas like driver mounting and cabinet bases
being the thickest.

Internal bracing has been strategically placed to increase

overall cabinet strength and limit unwanted panel
vibrations that may cause audible colorations. Internal
braces are CNC routed to shape to smooth internal airflow
and minimize volume losses within the cabinet, whilst
maintaining thickness at critical assembly joints.

Magnetic metal grills

We are especially proud of our new exclusive and fully
custom made grills. For all Arendal Sound speakers we
have made a free flowing, perforated metal grill which
does not affect sound quality. We have then wrapped it
with a clean black cloth to tone down the visually hard
look, whilst simultaneously damping out any residual
vibrations.

Combination of placements
There are many different subwoofer placement
combinations that can be utilized within a speaker system,
all have their advantages and disadvantages. If you have
the possibility of placing more than 2 subwoofers within
your system, you can go for a mix of placement ideas.
Please note that the more subwoofers you add to the
system, the more important the processing capabilities
need to be within the DSP or AVR. Most importantly,
you will need independent subwoofer outputs for each
subwoofer with its own adjustability to perfect the multi-
subwoofer integration.

For example, three (3) subwoofers are added into a system.

The first two subwoofers are placed up in the front left
and right corners of the room (Mirrored) and the third
subwoofer is placed in the middle of the room on the back
wall. This placement method combines the great room
gain/less distortion and consistent wavefront from corner
loading with the “filler” functionality of the subwoofer in
the rear. This method produces a very smooth and even
frequency response and great seat-to-seat consistency.
Just as the other placement methods that have front and
back of room subwoofers, timing and phase will be key in
getting the subwoofers working in unity with each other.

Dual subwoofer connection
When using two separate subwoofers in a music system we recommend using L and R outputs to each subwoofer (L goes to left
subwoofer, R goes to right subwoofer) instead of summing a mono signal on each subwoofer if they are located on each side
of the front speakers. This will ensure a true stereo image throughout the entire frequency spectrum. Note that this method
is not recommended if using the two subwoofers in any other configuration than on each side of the room close to the main
speakers. For any other configuration we recommend summing a mono signal to each subwoofer.

If both subwoofers are placed at the same position (side by side or stacked), we recommend summing the signal to mono to
both subwoofers.

Connecting to an A/V-Receiver
For a typical AV Receiver/Processor connection, we recommend using a single RCA (fig. 1) or XLR cable between the receiver’s
Subwoofer output (SW Out, LFE Out or similar, please refer to your product manual) and connect to the LFE input on the
subwoofer amplifier. Where an AVR/Processor has two or more subwoofer outputs, only use one to each subwoofer. There is
no advantage in using two outputs into one subwoofer.

Subwoofer operation
Enclosure tuning on Subwoofer 1V/2V offers the ability to be used with either vented or sealed alignments. By removing the
foam plug from the port, low frequency output can be extended with different bass character. The subwoofer offers greater
deep bass extension and more power as a vented design. As a sealed enclosure it offers even better transient response and a
smoother roll-off that may suit music listeners and/or smaller rooms better.

- Adjustable output volume from -20dB to +20dB in 0.5dB increments.
Only available if Ref. Level is set to off.
3. Input Gain
- The input gain will correctly adjust the subwoofer amplifier input
gain according to how high the output is from your source. If you know
how high the output gain is from your source, here is how to adjust it
properly; 1V output set to +6dB, 2V output set to 0dB, 4V output set to
-6dB, or 8V output set to -12dB. The +6dB and 0dB setting works well
with most modern AV equipment as their output levels generally are
around 1-2V. Analog preamps typically have a low output voltage so the
+6dB setting is recommended.

LPF Bypass

• EQ1 - gives a flat ground plane response to under 20 Hz, which will LPF Frequency
give great emphasis on the deepest bass in-room. For movies this LPF Slope
can be especially appealing. We recommend this setting for larger Subsonic Filter
rooms.
Subsonic Filter Slope
• EQ2 – Half an octave above the EQ1 setting, so for example if on
EQ1 the subwoofer has a +-3dB point of 16Hz, the EQ2 setting will Phase
have a +-3dB point of 24Hz. For medium large rooms and/or to Signal Invert
suit your personal listening style, the EQ2 setting can be beneficial.
Typically, EQ2 setting will sound “faster” than EQ1 as it has a lack
of output in the deepest bass which will give the bass a heavier
sound to it.
• EQ3 – One octave above the
EQ1 setting, so for example if on
EQ1 the subwoofer has a +-3dB EQ 1 SEALED EQ 1 VENTED
ARENDAL SOUND
point of 16Hz, the EQ3 setting EQ 2 SEALED EQ 2 VENTED EQ MODE
EQ 3 SEALED EQ 3 VENTED
will have a +-3dB point of 32Hz.

2. LPF Bypass
- On/Off. If On is selected, then the Low Pass Filter will be disabled. For Home Cinema use, where an AVR is used we recommend
LPF Bypass – On. For stereo users you may leave this setting Off, so you can adjust the Low Pass Filter under next step.
3. LPF Frequency
- The Low Pass Frequency is adjustable from 30 Hz to 160 Hz in 1 Hz increments. The number chosen here means the
frequencies above will be filtered away to avoid high tones coming from your subwoofer – nobody wants to hear Diana Krall’s
voice through the subwoofer anyways...
4. LPF Slope
- The Low Pass Frequency Slope mean at which rate the frequencies should be tapering off, from the LPF Frequency point
chosen. It is adjustable from 6dB/Oct to 24dB/Oct with 6dB increments. So, if you already set the LPF frequency to 100Hz, then
setting the LPF Slope to 12dB/Oct will ensure that the signal has 12dB lower output at one octave above 100Hz (one octave
above 100Hz is 200Hz).

Here you can see the different slopes and how they affect the frequency response above the LPF frequency

5. Subsonic Filter
- Selectable subsonic filter settings, that will filter away the deepest frequencies. Selectable from 12 Hz to 31 Hz. In off mode
the amplifier has an internal subsonic filter at 10 Hz to prevent instabilities in the power supply. Adding the subsonic filter will
ensure the subwoofer has less excursion in the deepest bass, and typically when filtering away some of the deepest bass it will
sound even “tighter”.
6. Subsonic Filter Slope
- The Subsonic filter slope mean at which rate the frequencies should be tapering off, from the frequency point chosen. It is
adjustable 6dB/Oct or 12dB/Oct. So, if you already set the subsonic filter frequency to 20Hz, then setting the slope to 12dB/Oct
will ensure that the signal has 12dB lower output at one octave under 20Hz (one octave below 20Hz is 10Hz).

slope to 12dB/oct.
7. Phase
- Adjustable from 0-180 degrees. We recommend leaving the phase at 0 degrees when using an AV-Receiver/Processor with
time alignment (speaker distance) feature. For music setups the phase needs to be adjusted so the subwoofer blends with the
front speakers.

Pro tip; Have a friend/wife/mom help adjusting the phase while you sit in your listening position. Play some
music with a steady bass beat, and when you hear the most amount of bass, the phase is correctly adjusted.

8. Signal Invert
- This feature inverts the signal, which means the same as 180 degrees phase, however this is “true” 180 degrees at all
frequencies. Phase adjusting above will shift somewhat with frequency.

subwoofer in two systems, one typically being stereo and the other being
home cinema. This setting enables one input to be triggered and locked by RCA 2 Auto turn-on 12V Trigger

12V signal, and when the 12V signal is turned off, the other input will be XLR 1 Auto turn-on 12V Trigger

active for auto-on function. XLR 2 Auto turn-on 12V Trigger

1. Auto Turn-on modes

- There are 4 different modes, where you can choose RCA or XLR input(s)
to be automatically turned on when the subwoofer senses a signal on the
input. If you have a single subwoofer output from your source, then select
either RCA 1 or XLR 1 as the input depending on the type of connection
you have from your source. Only choose RCA 1 & RCA 2 / XLR 1 & XLR 2
if you are using a stereo source with left & right signal.
2. 12V Trigger modes
- There are 4 different modes, where you can choose RCA or XLR input(s) to be turned on when the subwoofer senses a 3-12V
signal on the 3.5mm trigger input. Connect the 3-12V trigger out from your source to the trigger input on the amplifier panel
to let it activate as soon as you turn on your source. If you have a single subwoofer output from your source, then select either
RCA 1 or XLR 1 as the input depending on the type of connection you have from your source. Only choose RCA 1 & RCA 2 /
XLR 1 & XLR 2 if you are using a stereo source with left & right signal.
3. Dual Source modes
- If you are using two different sources together with your subwoofer, this is the correct input setting to choose. There are 8
different modes where you can choose the modes that suit your needs. You will have to use one source on RCA and the other
source on XLR. If both your sources use RCA outputs, you will have to use an RCA to XLR adapter for one of them.

One source has to be activated by the 3-12V trigger signal via the 3.5mm jack input on the amplifier, while the other source
has to be activated through auto turn-on. As soon as the 12V on the trigger input is deactivated, the amp will switch over to
the other input as soon as it senses a signal there. When the 3-12V signal is activated again it will override the auto turn-on
input. Only one source will be possible to hear through the subwoofer at a time.

The chosen memory setting for RCA is what it will automatically go to when you are utilizing the RCA inputs. The chosen
XLR memory is what the amplifier will automatically select when it goes over to XLR input(s). This means you can have two
separate inputs with completely individual settings for volume, EQ etc. to suit both systems perfectly.

4. Wake-up Sens.
- The wake-up sensitivity when the amplifier is in Auto-on mode, High sensitivity means it react very easily to any input signal,
Normal is what typically works well with modern AV receivers and similar sources, and Low is for environments that require a
slower wake-up sensitivity. The input gain under “level” menu will also impact the subwoofers sensitivity to turn on.
5. Display Rotate
- This neat feature rotates the display upside down, so that it is easier to make adjustments when the subwoofers amplifier is
facing the wall and you are standing above it to do any final adjustments. When the 180 degree setting is entered you will have
to go one step back in the menu before it actually flips upside down.
