CONNECT

CAUTION: All connections and switching must be done with the amplifier turned off. Connect the power cord

last to ensure that the amplifier is off during all the connections and set up.

RCA Line Level

Use high-quality RCA cables that feature low impedance with adequate shielding and high-quality connectors.

Speaker Outputs

Use 14-18 gauge stranded two-conductor speaker wire. Connect the appropriate conductor to each screw terminal,

observing correct polarity.

CAUTION: When two subwoofers are connected in parallel, the nominal impedance of each subwoofer should

not be less than 8Ω.

FINE TUNE

After making all connections and calibrating the speakers, fine tune the subwoofer as instructed below.

NOTE: When using an AV receiver and the LFE input, set the subwoofer calibration level to the factory setting.

1. Ensure that the subwoofer is plugged in.

During initial setup, set the ‘POWER MODES’ switch to the ‘ON’ position. Once calibration is complete, switch to

‘AUTO’ to enable the automatic power-saving mode. For reference, the different modes are as follows:

TRIGGER: Amplifier turns on when 12V signal is detected and off when 12V signal is absent.

AUTO: Auto sense enabled. Amplifier turns on when audio signal is detected. Unit enters standby mode if no

signal is sensed after 15 minutes.

ON: Always on. Amplifier does not turn off automatically. Unit turns on/off using the front panel power button.

2. If using one of the EQ presets, switch the ‘EQ MODE’ to the ‘ON’ position. Then select the desired setting. Preset

EQ’s are optimized for use with ES-SUB-SNGL-8 in wall / in ceiling subwoofers. Choose the correct EQ setting

depending on the air volumes behind the subwoofer. For example, smaller air volumes will have a larger bump

in the EQ

EQ PRESET A: +4dB (optimized for enclosures > 4 cu. ft.)

Example: ES-SUB-SNGL-8 in a free air installation (no back box)

PHASE set to 0º

4. Play a movie scene or music track and set the system volume to an average level. Listen to the bass level from

the preferred listening position. Adjust the ‘VOLUME’ control as desired.

5. If deeper bass is desired, adjust the ‘CROSSOVER’ control toward the lower frequencies. Experiment with

different frequency settings until finding one that sounds best.

NOTE: When using the LFE input, set to LFE and make any crossover adjustments in the preamplifier or receiver

crossover settings.

6. Continue listening to music and movie sources using the settings chosen for volume and crossover.

7. Experiment with the phase until finding the best setting. Depending on the subwoofer’s placement, the bass

may sound louder or deeper when the phase has been optimized. In some cases, adjusting phase will make

no discernible difference.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Episode amplifiers are designed to function trouble-free. Most problems that occur are due to simple issues. If

having trouble, check the list of simple fixes below. If the problem persists, contact Episode technical support at

866-838-5052.

No audio output

• Power cable to the amplifier is incorrectly connected or plugged into an outlet

that does not have power. Check connections and verify power at the outlet.

• Audio cable to the source component is not connected properly, connection to

output or the cable is defective. Check connections or replace cable with one

that has been verified as good.

• Amplifier is in standby mode and needs to be turned on (blue LED).

• Check the connections of the speaker wire at both the speaker and amplifier.

• The level adjustment is turned down. Slowly turn the dial to the right to raise

the volume.

Hum or buzzing sound is

heard

• Check RCA input cables by removing them one at a time (powering down the

amplifier before disconnecting) and verify connections.

Amplifier will not turn on

• Ensure the amplifier is plugged into a live outlet.

• Ensure the power switch on the front panel is on (blue LED).

• Fuse is blown. Replace with T6.3AL/250V fuse type.

• The power mode may be set to the wrong mode for the system’s configuration

or setup.
