PRO SWS-502 Satellite Subwoofer Speaker System

Your Optimus PRO SWS-502 Satellite Subwoofer Speaker System is designed to add the dramatic realism of solid bass (below 200 Hz) to your sound system. While the satellite speakers reproduce the high, midrange, and upper-bass frequen- cies, the subwoofer’s bass reflex design provides a clean response in the crucial bottom octave of the audible range. This results in heightened presence and clarity for the entire audio range.

The subwoofer’s low-bass sounds are produced by a down-firing 10-inch driver with a 11/2-inch dual-voice coil. Each sat- ellite speaker has a 31/2-inch woofer with

a1/2-inch liquid cooled soft-dome tweeter in a separate enclosure that swivels so you can adjust it for the best stereo imag- ing.

Choosing a Location for the Satellites

Location and position are vital for the best sound performance of your satellite speakers. For the best stereo image, the distance between the speakers should be about the same as the distance from the main listening area to a point halfway be- tween the speakers.

If you place the speakers too far apart, you might hear a “hole” in the center of the sound. Compensate for this by angling the speakers slightly in toward the listening area.

If you place the speakers too close togeth- er, you will cancel out the stereo image. Compensate for this by angling the speak- ers slightly away from the listening area.
