WELCOME TO EPISODE®
Episode is one of the most highly regarded brands of speakers available today. We appreciate your business and
we stand committed to providing our customers with the highest degree of quality and service in the industry.
Episode subwoofers are a superb choice for bass reinforcement of almost every type of audio system. They have
been designed with advanced technology components that accurately reproduce low frequencies in all types of
music and movies. For optimum system performance, we recommend pairing them with our acclaimed Episode
loudspeakers.
FEATURES
World-Class BASH® Hybrid Amplifier Technology
Incorporating the latest BASH amplifier technology to maximize performance while generating little heat.
Episode MEGA Control App
Through the use of advanced digital signal processing, most of the standard back panel analog adjustments have
been incorporated into an easy, accurate app.
The app allows you to set up and adjust the Volume, Pre-set EQ Modes, Phase control, Delay, Auto Off/On, Low
Pass, Parametric EQ, and Automatic Equalization.
NOTE: A Bluetooth 4.0, low-energy, iOS or Android device is required for proper
setup, control, and use of the app.
High-Quality / Furniture-Grade Cabinets
Attractive, furniture-quality cabinets provide the ultimate in rigidity and sound clarity.
• S Series available in attractive matte black finish.
• D Series available in polished gloss black or walnut wood veneer finish.
Automatic Equalization
The built-in, high-performance DSP and the Episode MEGA app allow for simplified and precise equalization
corrections of the subwoofer, to your position in the room. The app allows for multiple subwoofers in the same
room, or home, to be independently equalized and controlled.
Inputs
• Unbalanced: Features stereo RCA line-level inputs for two-channel applications. For home theater use, the
right RCA unbalanced input also serves as an LFE (low-frequency effects) input with a direct connection from a
receiver or processor.
• High Level: For versatility, there are gold-plated, five-way binding-post inputs for speaker-level connections.
• Wireless: All MEGA Series subwoofers have a built-in wireless receiver that is compatible with the optional
Episode Subwoofer Wireless Transmitter (ES-SUB-WIFI-TX-MEGA). Connect the wireless transmitter to your
AVR / processor subwoofer / LFE output, pair the transmitter to the subwoofer(s) in the system, and the signal
is reliably sent to the subwoofer(s). Up to three subwoofers can be paired to a single transmitter.
• Balanced: Exclusive to the MEGA D Series subwoofers, XLR balanced inputs are provided for clean, accurate
audio from receivers or processors with balanced outputs.
Remote Operation
Both the MEGA S Series and MEGA D Series offer an Ethernet connection for IP control with many home
automation platforms. Currently supported drivers and IP control documentation can be found on the associated
MEGA subwoofer product page. IP control allows for basic functionality and product status.
The MEGA D Series subwoofers also offer a dedicated 12V trigger for remote on/off functionality, without the need
for IP connectivity.

INSTALLATION
Subwoofer placement affects the audio performance
that you receive. All rooms are different, but the
strongest output will likely occur if the subwoofer
is placed on the floor, in a corner of the room on the
same wall as the front channel speakers. This is
known as the boundary effect and emphasizes certain
bass frequencies; however, it cancels other bass
frequencies.
Some listeners will find this to be the best-sounding
result, while others may find it overly “boomy” or
muddy. Experiment with the placement options
available to you and follow the fine-tuning instructions
on page 12 of this manual.
Note for corner placement with the D Series (Dual
Driver): For optimal performance, we recommend that
the subwoofer be placed at a 45° angle and at least
30cm (12“) from the corner.
For ultimate flexibility in placement, use the optional
Episode MEGA Subwoofer Wireless Transmitter
(ES-SUB-WIFI-TX-MEGA).

The D Series MEGA subwoofers are equipped with a 12V trigger input to turn the amplifier on/off, reducing power
consumption when not in use. When this input receives a 12V signal, the amplifier turns on; when the signal goes
away, the amplifier turns off.
• Connect the 12V trigger output of the AV receiver to the 12V trigger input of the D Series subwoofer using a
high-quality 3.5 mm (1/8”) mono cable.
• If the receiver does not have a 12V trigger output, a 12V power supply plugged into a switched outlet on the
receiver provides the same functionality.

EPISODE MEGA SUBWOOFER CONTROL AND SETUP APPLICATION
Your Episode MEGA Subwoofer app allows you to fine-tune the output using your Android or iOS device. Download
the app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
Knobs and switches have been replaced by a digital signal processor (DSP), which enables you to make precise
adjustments to your subwoofer. You can adjust individual parameters such as volume, phase, and cutoff frequency,
or use automatic calibration through the app.
A Bluetooth 4.0 low-energy iOS or Android device is required for setup and operation of your Episode MEGA
subwoofer. If your mobile device asks for a 4-digit code to pair to the subwoofer, use 0000.
SETUP
Setup mode allows you to adjust various parameters so your subwoofer sounds the way you like it.
PRESETS/VOLUME
EQ Mode: The Episode MEGA subwoofer comes with four sound presets.
a. Normal is the setting used for most applications.
b. Music adds emphasis to the lower bass range
c. Cinema boosts the frequencies around 50 Hz, giving the bass a more dramatic
effect.
d. Night reduces the maximum volume, so you can still use your subwoofer
without annoying the rest of the household.
Volume: Adjust the volume slider so your subwoofer’s output is balanced with the
volume of your stereo/surround speakers. If you set your subwoofer’s output too
high, it blurs the room’s sound image, which isn’t desirable.
Phase
Sit in the best listening spot of the room while making this adjustment. Pick a
song with substantial bass, and pay attention to it as you adjust the slider. While
adjusting, make sure the bass sounds musical and not too punchy or flat.
Delay
The Delay parameter allows you to delay playback of the Epsiode MEGA
subwoofer’s audio signal. Delay is typically used if the subwoofer is physically
closer to you than the rest of your speakers. Setting the delay to 1 millisecond is
the same as moving the subwoofer approximately 33cm (13“) away from your
listening position. Setting the delay to 20 milliseconds would be like moving the
sub 6.6m (21.5’) away.
If your amplifier or surround sound receiver has an automatic calibration feature, it
automatically sets the delay time internally. This should keep you from having to
adjust the delay on your subwoofer.

Auto On/Off
Your subwoofer is set to Auto On, by default. This turns your subwoofer on when a
bass signal is received through any of the inputs. If it does not detect a signal for 15
minutes, the subwoofer goes into standby mode. Depending on the amplifier being
used, you can adjust the sensitivity between 1–10mV.
Two options available - Auto Off/On via signal or Ethernet.
Low Pass
Sets the frequency at which the Episode MEGA subwoofer starts to perform. You
can adjust the cutoff frequency by adjusting the slider. You want to match your
stereo/surround speakers so the subwoofer can blend in seamlessly.

PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER
The Episode MEGA Subwoofer app allows you to adjust the center frequency,
bandwidth and gain with the Parametric Equalizer. To key in the perfect sound,
find an audio test disc to play. Many audio test disc options are available online.
Set your Central Frequency to the level listed on your audio test disc. With your
audio test disc playing, listen for any unnatural-sounding bass notes. Slowly
reduce the Bandwidth and Gain if the bass notes sound too loud. Increase them
if the bass notes sound too soft. Your goal is to match the loudness of your other
frequencies.
To boost a particular frequency range, increase the Bandwidth and slowly adjust
the Gain. Listen closely to make sure you don’t create any unnatural-sounding
effects.
AUTO EQ
Your Episode MEGA subwoofer is equipped with an easy-to-use automatic
calibration feature, which activates your subwoofer through the app. The
app instructs your subwoofer to play a measurement signal and uses your
smartphone’s built-in microphone to display the measurement curve, within
range. Auto EQ will calibrate the subwoofer for the environment’s measurements,
including the microphone and sound reproduction chain. Then it measures the
room’s actual frequency response.
Follow the instructions in the app for a successful calibration. First, the app asks
you to hold your smartphone near the front of the Episode MEGA subwoofer. After
a short frequency sweep the app will ask you to move to your listening position
and run a second frequency sweep. With both measurements complete, the app
will show the corrected sound curve tailored to your room.
The equalization curve is kept in memory until you overwrite it with a new
measurement.
You can turn Auto EQ off or on at any time from the SETUP menu.
FINE TUNING
After making all the connections and calibrating the sub via the Episode MEGA Subwoofer app, you can still
perform some fine tuning using the following guidelines:
NOTE: When using an AV receiver with an automatic calibration system, perform the Episode MEGA subwoofer
auto calibration via the app first, and then run the AV receiver’s full-room calibration. Then, perform the following
steps if needed:
1. Ensure the subwoofer is plugged in.
2. Play a movie scene or music track and set the system volume to an average level. Listen to the bass level from your
favorite listening position and adjust the VOLUME control as desired.
3. If deeper bass is desired, adjust the LOW PASS control toward the lower frequencies. Experiment with different
frequency settings until you find one that sounds best.
4. Continue listening to your favorite music and movie sources using the settings chosen for volume and crossover.
Now, try experimenting with the PHASE and DELAY until you find the best setting for the installation. Depending on
