Paradigm Cinema Series 8" 300 watt peak, 100 watt RMS Powered Subwoofer

For optimal performance, place the subwoofer near the front speakers, either along the front wall or in a front corner of the room. Experimenting with placement can help achieve the best bass response. The subwoofer features flexible positioning options, allowing it to be oriented with either the gloss side or cloth side facing up, depending on your preference and room acoustics.

The subwoofer includes several controls to fine-tune its performance:

Subwoofer Cut-Off Frequency Control: Adjusts the upper frequency limit to blend seamlessly with your main speakers.
Subwoofer Level Control: Balances the subwoofer's output with the rest of your system.
Phase Switch: Allows you to select between 0° and 180° to ensure the subwoofer is in phase with your main speakers, which can enhance bass response. These controls help customize the subwoofer's integration into your audio system.

To set the phase, start by playing familiar music with substantial bass content. Switch the phase control between 0° and 180°, and listen for the position that provides the fullest and most natural bass response at your primary listening position. If the bass sounds weak or dislocated, adjusting the phase can help align the subwoofer's output with your main speakers, resulting in improved bass performance.

The subwoofer is equipped with two RCA line-level inputs (left and right), which can be used for connecting to the subwoofer or LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) output of your receiver or processor. This allows for versatile integration with various audio systems.
