Focal Sub Air

Features

Wireless Connectivity: The Focal Sub Air is equipped with a built-in wireless receiver and comes with an external wireless transmitter, so you don't have to run a subwoofer cable between your AV receiver or integrated amplifier and the powered sub. The external wireless transmitter features LFE/RCA inputs which connect to your AV receiver or integrated amplifier's LFE output or stereo preouts. The low-frequency audio signals from your receiver or amplifier are then wirelessly transmitted to the Sub Air's built-in wireless receiver. The Focal Sub Air has a wireless range of approximately 49'.

Note: The Focal Sub Air and the included wireless transmitter come wirelessly connected from the factory. It is only possible to connect one Sub Air powered subwoofer to one wireless transmitter at a time, and vice-versa.

Note: The driver used in the Sub Air is made up of complex mechanical elements and requires a break-in period before it delivers the best of its performances. Focal recommends that you to let the subwoofer operate for about twenty hours at medium level, playing standard music programs, but with a large amount of bass.

• Phase Switch: The phase switch allows for the adjustment of the phase of the powered subwoofer in relation to the speakers used in your audio system - either 0 or 180 degrees. If the bass sounds muddy or unclear, adjusting the phase control can sometimes strengthen the bass performance.
