Thread starter AndyGregory Start date Dec 31, AndyGregory Audiophyte. I have a 5. The manual says to connect the subwoofer cables to the surround speakers. It has two inputs on the back of the subwoofer.

Connect one to the left and one to the right surround speaker. Then connect this to the terminals on the back of the amp. The amp has a separate connectiion for the subwoofer. The group delay of the satellite varied less than 0. The system's sensitivity, measured 1 meter from the satellite with a 2. Its impedance was about 3 ohms from 80 to Hz, considerably below the rated 6 ohms, and reached a high of 13 ohms at about 5. With the bass module disconnected, the satellite's impedance increased below Hz, rising from 6 ohms at Hz to 50 ohms at 20 Hz because of the high-pass crossover within the satellite.

The distortion of the bass module at a constant drive level of 6. High-power pulse tests showed that the woofer cone began to rattle with a Hz input of 1, watts into its 3.

At 1, and 10, Hz, our amplifier clipped, at and watts, respectively, before there was evidence of speaker overload. Although systems combining minispeaker satellites with separate bass modules are not new, and are currently enjoying renewed popularity, the CSW Ensemble is an exceptionally effective execution of the basic concept. The most obvious departure from similar products is the use of two separate bass modules. More commonly, two bass drivers are combined in a single enclosure or the low frequencies are electrically combined and used to drive a single woofer.

Aside from any acoustic advantages it might have, the Ensemble's configuration does provide more options for installation, since its shallow bass units can be located in places where thicker modules might not fit. From our first hearing of this system, we had no doubt of its quality. There were no auditory clues to the locations of the woofers, whose output was subjectively linked firmly to that of the satellites. The effective lower limit of the bass speakers' response is not much below 50 Hz, but it was sufficient to provide a good "floor" for the very smooth and balanced output of the satellites.

Over most of the audible frequency range, the Ensemble satellites delivered a smoother output than many larger and more expensive speakers. Although nowadays small-cone drivers have been largely supplanted by dome radiators, these speakers provide convincing evidence of the capabilities of a well-designed cone.

We noted a tendency toward a slight brightness at times, compared with some other speakers, but that may simply reflect the Ensemble's very flat, extended high-frequency response. We did not pamper the Ensemble speakers in our tests, driving them from a high-power amplifier and sometimes playing them at unreasonably high volume levels.

Neither the speakers nor the listeners suffered unduly from the experience. Overall, the speaker system acquitted itself admirably. Few speakers we have seen in the Ensemble's price range can offer it any serious competition.

The Amazon Echo Dot is continuing to communicate to the speaker even when not playing audio and will use up the battery charge, at the same rate as full volume audio. Or, 2 Turning the OontZ Angle 3 off when you are done listening.

Speakers icon-plus. Play while charging You can play the OontZ Angle 3 while it is charging. Plug the other end of the 3. You are now ready to play. Listen to music in the shower.

Perfect for taking to the beach or by the pool. Please keep the speaker close in front of you so you may be heard clearly by the listener. You can use your Smartphone or iPhone to switch between using Hands Free Speakerphone and your phone. Then continue charging the battery. Cannot pair or connect to the OontZ Angle 3 -- Check that your OontZ Angle 3 has a sufficient battery charge, the speaker may not connect when the battery has a low charge.

Connect the speaker to a charging source and try again to pair and connect. Your audio source device may be out of range. Move it closer to within 30 unobstructed feet of your speaker.
