Input Mode
- LFE – Select if connected to a single LFE output from your source device
- Stereo - Select if connected to a Stereo output from your source device

Note: The input levels shown in the balanced and unbalanced tables will be met in each input mode setting, respectively. The Stereo mode will be a summation of L and R to meet the input level where the LFE mode will meet the input level with the designated single input.

ADVANCED SETTINGS

Speaker Presets EQ

Speaker preset EQs are used to optimize your subwoofer’s performance. We have carefully optimized the DSP settings and other parameters to take the work out of configuring them yourself. For Triad passive subwoofers, select the model from the drop-down list. For Triad In-room active subwoofers the preset EQ is pre-installed.

Alternatively, a set of custom presets can be saved from your settings or imported to overwrite the default presets on the amplifier.

EQ PRESET - Select your subwoofer model from the drop-down list and select LOAD PRESET to enable the settings on the amplifier.

CUSTOM PRESET NAME – Save your settings as a custom preset. Enter a name for the preset and click SAVE TO CUSTOM PRESET.

EXPORT CUSTOM PRESET – Export the selected preset to your computer.

IMPORT PRESETS – Imports a preset or group of presets from your computer.

Manual EQ

The manual EQ allows you to fine-tune your own custom EQ.

FILTER TYPE

Peak - Peak filters pass all frequencies but boost or cut at the frequency set point depending upon the gain setting. The shape or bandwidth of the filter is set with the Q setting. This will determine how wide or sharp the filter is. These filters can be used to adjust areas in the frequency response that are affected by the room the subwoofer is in.

Bass - This is a low-shelf filter. This will boost all the frequencies below the frequency set point. It has a fixed Q for the filter shape for the roll off. This shelving filter is used to increase bass output.

Treble - This is a high-shelf filter. This will boost all the frequencies above the frequency set point. It has a fixed Q for the filter shape for the roll off. This shelving filter is used to increase treble output.

Notch - This filter is used to focus on narrow band frequencies. If there is a problematic frequency that needs to be removed this can be done with the notch filter. The frequency set point is the center of the notch where the width and shape of the filter is set with the Q.

HPF - High Pass Filter. This filter type will remove low frequency below the frequency set point. They are used to isolate high frequencies from the incoming audio stream. In the case of the subwoofer, the HPF allows you to only provide the high frequencies to the line out. The HPF can also be used at extremely low frequency to remove subsonic frequencies going to the subwoofer.

LPF – Low pass filter. This filter type will remove high frequency above the frequency set point. They are used to isolate bass from the incoming audio stream. In the case of the subwoofer this allows you to only provide the frequencies that the subwoofer is responsible for playing.

FREQUENCY (10-300 Hz) - Adjusts the center frequency for any given EQ Band.

GAIN (+/- 12 dB) - Adjusts the gain for the EQ band.

Q RATIO (0.5-11.5) - Adjusts the width of the EQ Filter.

Low Pass Filter

The Low Pass Filter determines the low frequency crossover point for the subwoofer. Enable the low pass filter when the amplifier will be providing the crossover. Disable the low pass filter if the AVR or processor is controlling the Crossover point.

Enable Low Pass Filter - Turns the Low Pass filter ON or OFF.

FREQUENCY (10-300 Hz) - Selects the Crossover Frequency.

SLOPE (12dB / 24dB / 36 dB) - Selects the slope of the Crossover Frequency.

High Pass Filter

The High Pass filter, sometimes referred to as a “SubSonic” filter, is a high-pass filter that prevents extremely low frequencies from being reproduced by the subwoofer. This is advantageous since extremely low frequencies cannot be heard but when present can consume tremendous amounts of amplifier power. Enabling the High Pass Filter can transfer power to the frequencies you can hear and feel.

Enable High Pass Filter - Turns the High Pass Filter On or OFF.

FREQUENCY (10-400 Hz) - Selects the Crossover Frequency.

SLOPE (12dB / 24dB / 36 dB) - Selects the slope of the Crossover Frequency.

Phase Control

The phase control on a subwoofer allows you to adjust the phase of the subwoofer's output so that it is in sync with the other speakers in your system. This can help to reduce phase cancellation and improve the overall sound quality.

PHASE DEGREE (0-180°) - To set the phase control on your subwoofer, listen to music, or other content and if you hear a cancellation effect, adjust the phase control frequency until the effect is minimized.

Delay

A subwoofer delay setting is used to compensate for the difference in arrival time between the sound from the subwoofer and the sound from the other speakers. This is important because if the sound from the subwoofer arrives too early or too late, it can create a noticeable echo or phasing effect. This setting operates independently from the phase control setting.

To adjust for delay, measure the distance between the subwoofer and your listening position, then use the slider to match that distance.

Line Out Settings

The line out settings are used to enable a high pass filter on the amplifier’s audio output RCAs or Balanced outputs. These are typically used when another amplifier without a high pass filter is installed downstream from the subwoofer or subwoofer amplifier.

Enable High Pass Filter - Turns the High Pass Filter on or off.

FREQUENCY (10-400 Hz) - Selects the Crossover Frequency.

SLOPE (12dB / 24dB / 36 dB) - Selects the slope of the Crossover Frequency.

DELAY - Adjusts the output delay between the subwoofer or subwoofer amplifier and the next amplifier.

Power Management

POWER MODE - Sets the On/Off behavior of the amplifier.

Always On - The amplifier will always remain in the ON state and will not turn OFF until the physical switch on the back of the amplifier is turned off.
Auto Signal Sense - The amplifier will turn On when Signal is present, and turn OFF when signal is not present.
12V Trigger - The amplifier will remain OFF until a 12V signal is present on the 12V trigger input of the amplifier.

Additional Auto Signal Sense settings

WAKE-UP THRESHOLD (LOW-HIGH) - Determines how much signal needs to be present to change the amplifier power state.

Reducing the wake-up threshold will make the amplifier more sensitive and it will turn ON with less signal. If the wake-up threshold is set too low, ground hum on the audio line may prevent the subwoofer from turning OFF.
Increasing the wake-up threshold will make the amplifier less sensitive and it will need more signal to turn ON. If the wake-up threshold is set too high, the amplifier may turn off during quiet scenes in a movie, TV, or music content.

AUTO-OFF TIMER (5-30 min) - Once the audio source material falls below the wake-up threshold voltage, a timer starts. If the audio source material does not exceed the wake-up threshold voltage in the period designated in the auto-off timer, the amplifier will turn OFF and will not turn back on until the wake-up threshold voltage is exceeded.

Fan Mode (TS-SUBAMP2400 Only) - The protection mode setting determines the maximum fan speed used to cool the amplifier.

Quiet - When set to quiet, the fan speed will not exceed 45dBA, but the amplifier will also limit power if needed to avoid thermal shutdown of the amplifier.
Loud - When set to loud, the fan speed will spin faster and will provide maximum cooling to the amplifier and allow the amplifier to deliver higher power for a longer duration. This setting may not be desirable for amplifiers installed in the same room as the listener.

Power Limiting Options (TS-SUBAMP2400 Only) - The amplifier is compatible with a typical 110V 15A electrical circuit, or more powerful 20A electrical circuit. To achieve fully specified amplifier power a 20A electrical circuit is required.

15A - For compatibility with most electrical circuits, the amplifier ships in 15A mode. Be sure to use the provided 15A power cord and connect it to a 15A electrical circuit. Amplifier power will be reduced slightly to not trip an electrical breaker at full power.
20A - When set in 20A mode the amplifier will produce the fully specified power. Be sure to use the provided 20A power cord and connect it to a 20A electrical circuit
