Positioning Your Subwoofer

Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music come alive. For optimum performance, place your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers. (refer to Figures 1 and 2). Please note that room placement can have a dra- matic effect on the performance of your powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above, will increase the amount of bass output, while placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the room will decrease the amount of bass output. Experiment with a number of different placement options and control settings to find the one that best suits your particular room and taste. When choosing your subwoofer’s location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofer’s built-in amplifier to an AC power outlet.

Connections and Controls

Optimal Connections – Klipsch SW powered subwoofers can be connected to the subwoofer output of your electronics via subwoofer cable. Connect the other end of the subwoofer cable to the LFE input on the subwoofer (refer to Figure 3). This can be in place of the conventional speaker wire connections (“SPEAKER LEVEL IN”). For more information on the controls mentioned in this manual and on bass management, see your dealer or visit www. klipsch.com.

Conventional Speaker Wire Connections – Using 16-gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the RED “positive” (+) terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel to the RED (+) terminal of your subwoofer’s LEFT channel input (“SPEAKER Level IN”). Connect the BLACK “negative” (-) terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel to the BLACK “negative” (-) terminal of your subwoofer’s LEFT channel input (“SPEAKER Level IN”). Repeat this procedure for connecting your amplifier’s RIGHT channel to your subwoofer’s
