Step 1:
LINE IN: the RCA line-level female input, second row, accepts a
standard RCA male plug. Connect a shielded coaxial cable, with
male RCA plugs on each end, from the A/V receiver or A/V preamp
processor’s Subwoofer Output jack to the RCA LINE IN female jack on
the EP500 or EP600.
also intended for trigger-controlled operation with future Axiom products.
BALANCED XLR LINE IN: if the A/V receiver or A/V preamp-processor
has balanced XLR subwoofer line-out connections, you may connect
a Balanced XLR male connector to the XLR female input. Otherwise,
ignore this connector.
Do not use a combination of RCA and XLR
input or output connectors.
HIGH LEVEL INPUT: Use these “speaker-level” or high-level 5-way
binding post connectors only if your receiver or preamp lacks a
dedicated line-level subwoofer output jack. Connect speaker cables from
your ampli er’s left-channel and right-channel speaker output binding
posts to the high-level inputs using banana plugs (single or dual), spade
connectors, pins, or bare cable if you wish (unscrew the top of each
binding post and insert the cable into the hole in the post; tighten the
knurled knob against the cable). Run a second pair of speaker cables
from these jacks to your main left and right front speakers. Do not use
these connectors if you are already using an RCA or XLR line-level
connection from the receiver or preamp to the subwoofer. NOTE: BE
SURE TO CONNECT BLACK TO BLACK AND RED TO RED.
Step 2:
L
INE OUT (RCA, Trigger and XLR Balanced):
An RCA line-level (female) output and balanced XLR output (male)
are provided for connection to a second subwoofer. Use a standard
shielded coaxial cable for connection of the RCA Line Out to the second
subwoofer. If you are using balanced XLR connectors, then use the
balanced Line Out for operation of a second EP 500 or EP600.
Step 3:
CROSSOVER: if you are using the Bass Management crossover menu
settings in your A/V receiver or processor, turn this control to “BYPASS”
to eliminate the EP500 or EP600 internal crossover from the circuit.
If you are using the HIGH LEVEL (Speaker Level) binding-post inputs,
set the crossover switch to 80 Hz for initial setup. If you have  oor-
standing speakers (M40, M50, or M60), try a 60 Hz crossover frequency,
for the M80 try 40 Hz. If your main speakers are bookshelf models M3 or
M22, try the 80 Hz setting, for the M2 try 100 Hz. Ultimately you want to
use a crossover frequency that produces the smoothest blend of sound
between the subwoofer and your main speakers.
Step 4:
VOLUME: Set this midway to the 9 o’clock position for initial setup. You
can use this to manually regulate the subwoofer volume at any time
and during your initial setup adjustments with the other speakers in
your stereo or home theater system. You may use the volume control to
manually change the subwoofer output level to compensate for varying
bass levels during movie or music playback. This control only works
with the RCA or High-Level Inputs. The Balanced Line input is
NOT
controlled by the volume knob.

Step 5:
ON/OFF AC POWER/VOLTAGE SETTING: Your subwoofer is supplied
with a pop-out voltage regulator set for use with 100 – 120 volts from the
A/C line. It can be easily removed and turned over to set your EP500 or
EP600 to 220 volts from the A/C line.
Once you have made appropriate connections from the A/V receiver or
preamp/processor to the EP500 or EP600 and set the voltage regulator
to the proper voltage,  nd a nearby AC wall outlet and connect the main
power cord to the three-wire socket at the bottom of the control panel.
Move the power switch to the On setting and the LED POWER indicator
should glow Green. Leave the switch at the ON setting unless you go
away for an extended period. Moving it to OFF will shut down all power
to the subwoofer.
Step 6:
0 & 180 PHASE: This synchronizes the in/out movement of the
subwoofer cone driver with the other speakers in your system. Once you
have chosen the best location for your subwoofer, try  ipping the phase
switch between 0 and 180 to see if one or the other setting produces
deeper and smoother bass output in your room. Leave the switch at
the setting that results in the smoothest and deepest bass at several
listening locations in the room. If you hear no difference, leave the switch
at the 0 position. Quite often the phase switch makes no difference, but
it’s dependent on your room and subwoofer location.
Step 7:
BOOST: Set this to FLAT for normal subwoofer operation in a large
room. The subwoofer will reproduce deep bass at normal levels from
the movie soundtrack or music sources. The REMOTE setting is for
operation with future Axiom remote controlled products that enables
remote-control adjustment of subwoofer levels. If you are in a medium
or small room you should experiment with Half and Full to compensate
for room loading. Setting the Boost to Half will partially increase
frequencies above 33 Hz and Full will greatly increase frequencies
above 33 Hz. This may be necessary to overcome room loading or
boundary effect (too much low bass).
POWER Indicator: The LED Power indicator glows Green when it’s on
and Yellow indicating a fault.
USB: This is to be used for future software upgrades to the Digital Signal
Processor inside your EP500 and EP600. You may also use the USB
input to connect the accessory Axiom light to ease visibility in making
subwoofer adjustments or connections.
Ground Loop
If your subwoofer is producing a 60 Hz hum; remove the Chassis
Ground Screw.
