2 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the B&W ASW ™ 500 Active Subwoofer . Since its foundation in 1966, the continuing philosophy of B&W has been the quest for perfect sound reproduction.
3 • Connect the power cord to the power outlet – we recommend that you switch the ASW™500 on before any power amplifiers receiving signals from it. Similarly switch off the ASW™500 last. Fine T uning the System Set the system up in the preferred position and play some music with a continuous bass content.
Branchements é lectriques Débranchez tous les appareils de l’alimentation secteur tant que tous les branchements du système n’ont pas été effectués et vérifiés. Ceci évite tout risque de dommage à un ou plusieurs appareils, en cas de mauvaise connexion.
Ne pas utiliser le caisson de grave ASW™500 comme une table. Des objets posés dessus pourront également tomber suite aux vibrations normales. Evitez en particulier les liquides (verres, vases, etc.) ! Lorsque le système n’est pas utilisé pendant une longue période, débranchez-le du secteur .
Der ASW™500 verfügt sowohl über Ein- und Ausgänge für Line-Level- (Phono-Cinch-Buchsen) als auch für Speaker-Level-Signale. Jedoch ist hierbei zu beachten, daß Line-Level- und Speaker-Level-Anschlüsse gleichzeitig an einem Gerät nicht möglich sind.
7 Besonders Flüssigkeiten (z.B. Getränke oder Blumenvasen mit W asser) sollten niemals auf den Subwoofer gestellt werden. Wird Ihr System für längere Zeit nicht benutzt, ziehen Sie den Netzstecker des ASW™500 heraus.
8 Colocaci ó n del ASW ™ 500 Puesto que el ASW™500 produce únicamente notas muy bajas, su colocación es mucho más sencilla que la de una pareja de cajas acústicas convencionales. Los mejores resultados se obtienen cuando el ASW™500 es colocado entre las cajas acústicas principales.
9 Si altera la posicíón del ASW™500 de manera apreciable, debería comprobar los ajustes de nivel correspondientes al amplificador del subwoofer aunque solo después de reajustar correctamente la fase. Mantenimiento de su ASW ™ 500 Por lo general, el recinto solo requiere que se le quite el polvo periódicamente.
10 Á udio Est é reo (com liga çõ es de N í vel de Linha) (figura 1) Este é o melhor método, e é adequado para utilizar quando possui um amplificador e pré- amplificador separados, ou uma ligação externa entre o amplificador e o pré num amplificador integrado.
11 IT ALIANO A vvertenze: Per evitare incendi o folgorazioni non esporre l’apparecchiatura a pioggia o umidità. Rispettare tutte le avvertenze sulle apparecchiature stesse. Per evitare scosse non aprire il cabinet né rimuovere l’amplificatore dal pannello posteriore.
12 Usare pi ù di un ASW ™ 500 Qualsiasi numero di unità ASW™500 può essere collegato a catena o con modo a doppio canale mono o a canale singolo. L ’utilizzo di una o più unità in una singola installazione può migliorare la performance nei seguenti modi: • Fornendo una copertura sonora di spazi più ampi.

14 Als u een ongelijkmatige laagweergave hoort, heeft u waarschijnlijk last van staande golven in de luisterruimte. De oplossing is om de ASW™500 op een iets andere plaats te zetten: zelfs kleine verschuivingen van zo’n 15 cm hebben al grote invloed op het geluid.
15 Stereo (H ø jttalersignal) (Figur 2) Denne metode benyttes hvis din forstærker ikke har pre-out/main-in. Forbind højttalerterminalerne på din forstærker til INPUT FROM AMPLIFIER terminalerne på subwooferen. Vær meget omhyggelig med at kontrollere at plus går til plus og minus til minus (figur 2).
