4. DB1 Feet
The DB1 can be fitted with either rubber or spike feet
– both are supplied in the accessory pack. We would
recommend that the spike feet are used whenever
possible. The spike feet are designed to pierce carpet
and rest on the floor beneath both to protect the carpet
from indentation and to provide the subwoofer with a
solid foundation.
Note: Spike feet can be used on delicate non-
carpeted floors by standing the spikes on coins.
To fit either the spike or rubber feet, the DB1 must first
be carefully turned upside-down. Make sure when
turned that the subwoofer rests on a surface that will
not damage its finish. Fit either the spike or rubber
feet by screwing them into the four screw holes in the
DB1 underside. In both cases, initially screw the lock
nuts fully onto the thread of the feet before screwing
them into the DB1. Hand tighten the feet. The diagram
above illustrates fitting spike or rubber feet.

Once the spike or rubber feet are fitted, the DB1 can
be turned back on to its feet. Take care not to allow the
entire weight of the subwoofer to rest at an angle on
one or two spike feet as it is turned. Also take care that
careless handling of the subwoofer with spikes fitted
does not cause injury.
If the subwoofer rocks when placed on the floor in its
final position, or the thickness of carpet means that the
spike points do not reach the under-floor, adjust the
relevant feet until the DB1 is supported firmly without
rocking. When adjustment is complete, tighten all the
lock nuts against the underside of the subwoofer using
a 10mm spanner.
5. DB1 Connections
The DB1 requires connection to the mains supply and
an input signal. A variety of different power cables may
be packed with your DB1. Use the one appropriate for
the mains outlet socket in your territory.
The DB1 accommodates three types of signal input.
Their applications and socket types are described
in the following paragraphs. It is possible to connect
to the stereo input and one of the mono inputs
simultaneously as the DB1 enables mono or stereo
input selection to be stored and recalled within setup
presets. Section 6 describes the use of setup presets
and the diagram right illustrates the DB1 connection
panel.
