3.3. Wireless Setup (with Optional W3 Receiver)

The Audioengine S8 is wireless-ready and can be paired with an optional Audioengine W3 Wireless Audio Adapter for wireless connectivity. Follow these steps for wireless setup:

1. Connect W3 Receiver: Plug the W3 Receiver into the 5VDC USB power port on the rear of the S8 subwoofer. Connect the W3 Receiver's audio output to the S8's audio input using the appropriate cable (e.g., mini-jack to RCA adapter).
2. Connect W3 Sender: Connect the W3 Sender to your audio source (e.g., computer, stereo system) via USB for power and audio output.
3. 장치 페어링: Ensure both the W3 Sender and Receiver are powered on and within range. They should automatically pair. Refer to the W3 Wireless Audio Adapter manual for detailed pairing instructions if needed.

4. Operating the S8 Subwoofer

The Audioengine S8 features several controls on its rear panel to fine-tune its performance:

• 볼륨 조절: 서브우퍼의 전체 출력 레벨을 조절합니다. 낮은 설정에서 시작하여 베이스가 메인 스피커와 자연스럽게 어우러질 때까지 점차 높이십시오.
• Crossover Control (50Hz - 130Hz): This knob sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. Frequencies above this setting will be sent to your main speakers. Adjust this to match the low-frequency capabilities of your main speakers. A common starting point is around 80Hz.
• 위상 스위치(0°/180°): This switch adjusts the phase of the subwoofer's output relative to your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the one that produces the most impactful and coherent bass. This often depends on the subwoofer's placement relative to your listening position and main speakers.
• 수면 모드 : The S8 subwoofer includes an automatic sleep mode. When no audio signal is detected for a period, the subwoofer will enter a low-power standby state. It will automatically wake up when an audio signal is detected again. The standby indicator light will change from green (on) to amber (standby).
