Connecting your PULSE SUB wirelessly

Updated

 

PULSE SUB is a wireless subwoofer that uses point-to-point technology to directly pair with PULSE SOUNDBAR (Generation 1 and 2i only). To pair PULSE SUB with other Bluesound Generation 2/2i models, use the Bluesound RT100 wireless speaker link (sold separately).

To connect the PULSE SUB+, refer to Connecting a PULSE SUB+ wirelessly.

When PULSE SUB is connected to a power outlet and turned on, the status indicator LED turns solid Blue after 15 seconds and turns off after another 15 seconds.

Getting Started

  1. Remove the rubber stopper labeled Bluesound on top of PULSE SUB.
  2. Set the CROSSOVER to 120Hz.
  3. Set the PHASE to 0º.
  4. Set the POWER MODE SWITCH (three-way) to ON.
  5. If pairing with a PULSE SOUNDBAR (Gen1/2i) or RT100, set the volume to 5.
  6. If connecting using a wired cable, set the volume to 9.
  7. Replace the rubber stopper.
