HOOK-UP OPTIONS

OPTION #4

(PSW450 Only) – Not recommended for use with RM6200 and RM6600 systems. The PSW450 offers a “switchable high pass filter” at 80Hz for those situations where you choose to limit the lower bass content directed to your front left and right speakers. The benefit can be greater dynamic range from the front left and right speakers because they are not being asked to produce any bass frequencies below 80Hz.

This hookup would be the same as Option #1, but with the switch turned to “80Hz.” See fig- ure 6. Consult your dealer or Polk Audio cus- tomer service if you have questions about the use of this feature.
