ES-SUB-TRP Installation and Users Manual 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 Incorporates the latest BASH® amplifier technology to maximize performance while generating little heat. In standby mode, the subwoofer consumes less than 0.5 watts making it one of the “greenest” solutions available. >>HIGH-GLOSS CABINET Attractive furniture-quality cabinet provides the ultimate in rigidity and sound clarity. >>TUNED SYSTEM PERFORMANCE Offers rear-mounted, low-pass crossover adjustment and a switchable phase control (0 or 180 degrees) to ensure optimal system integration, giving a seamless blend for an unbelievable music and movie experience. >>SIGNAL-SENSING FOR AUTOMATIC POWER CONTROL There are three power mode options with an Episode® powered subwoofer: ‘On’, ‘Off’ and ‘Auto’. When the ‘Auto’ position is selected, the subwoofer will automatically switch to a power-saving standby mode until an input signal is detected. Power will turn on whenever a minimal amount of signal is detected on the RCA jacks, and off again when no signal is present for approximately 15 minutes. >>GOLD-PLATED INPUTS Features stereo RCA line-level inputs for many two-channel applications. For home theater use, the right RCA unbalanced input also serves as an LFE (Low Frequency Effects) input for a direct connection from the receiver or processor. An XLR balanced input is provided for clean accurate audio from receivers or processors with balanced LFE outputs. For added versatility, there are also gold-plated, five-way binding-post inputs and outputs for speaker-level connections. pg.3 © 2012 Episode ES-SUB-TRP Installation and Users Manual INSTALLATION Right Left b Su PLACING YOUR EPISODE® SUBWOOFER Subwoofer placement can have an effect on the performance that you receive. All rooms are different, but the strongest output will likely occur if the subwoofer is placed in a corner of the room on the same wall as the front channel speakers. This is known as the boundary effect and will emphasize certain bass frequencies while canceling others. Center 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 that follow in the “Installation” section of this manual. Note that due to the Triple Woofer design, it is recommended that the subwoofer is placed at a 45° angle at least 12” from the corner. For ultimate flexibility in placement, use the Episode® Wireless Subwoofer Transmission Kit. pg.4 Left Side Right Side Left Rear Right Rear ES-SUB-TRP Installation and Users Manual SUBWOOFER CONTROLS Your Episode® Subwoofer is suited to match nearly every home theater or music application: ES-SUB-TRP8-300 ES-SUB-TRP8-300 LOW LEVEL 1.

LF TRIGGER IN MAX VOLUME SIGNAL SENSE ES-SUB-TRP8-300 RIGHT ES-SUB-TRP Installation and Users Manual FINE TUNING After making all the connections and calibrating the sub, set up your Episode® subwoofer using the following steps: Note: When using an AV receiver and the LFE input, set the subwoofer calibration level to the factory setting before performing the following procedure. After making the below adjustments, calibrate the system via the AV receiver’s setup procedure. 1. Ensure that the subwoofer is plugged in. 2. Set the following controls and switches to positions that will enable tuning for maximum performance. a. VOLUME knob set to 50%, or 12 o’clock b. CROSSOVER knob set to 120 Hz or 5 o’clock c. PHASE switch set to 0º During initial setup, it may be helpful to set the MODE switch to the ‘ON’ position. Once calibration is complete, switch it to ‘AUTO’ to enable the automatic power-saving mode. 3. 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. Adjust the VOLUME control as desired. 4. If deeper bass is desired, adjust the CROSSOVER control toward the lower frequencies. Experiment with different frequency settings until you find 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. 5. Continue listening to your favorite music and movie sources using the settings chosen for volume and crossover. Now, try experimenting with the PHASE switch until you find the best setting for the installation. Depending on your 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. INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE GRILLS To remove the grills, gently pull the tabs on the outer edge of the grill frame to separate the grill from the baffle of the subwoofer. To install the grill, start in one top corner and gently press the grill frame in around the front baffle, pushing it in at each of the remaining three recessed holes. CLEANING Use a soft cloth or paper towel to clean the cabinet. The grill is best cleaned by brushing it off with a lint-free cloth. pg.9 © 2012 Episode SPECIFICATIONS ES-SUB-TRP8-300 ES-SUB-TRP10-500 Driver (1) 8” Woven Fiberglass (2) 8” Passive Radiators (1) 10” Woven Fiberglass (2) 10” Passive Radiators Amplifier 300 watts RMS @ 0.2% THD 500 watts RMS @ 0.2% THD Signal to Noise Ratio 90 dB A-weighted 90 dB A-weighted Input Power 100-120V/220-240V, ~50/60Hz, 3.15A 100-120V/220-240V, ~50/60Hz, 5A Frequency Response 30 Hz to 200 Hz 30 Hz to 180 Hz Dimensions (H) 11.81 in.
