Volume Control Connection (Fig. 5)
The SWS comes with an external remote volume- control module for adjusting subwoofer level. You can place it wherever is convenient. Just run the cable from it back to the SWS and plug it into the
In the passthrough configuration used with most multimedia speaker systems, the volume controls on the SWS and your main speakers are independent. That is, changing the volume on one does not affect the volume on the other. So if you change the volume set - ting on the main speakers, you must readjust the SWS volume control as well in order to maintain the same tonal balance. For this reason, it is usually more convenient to use the SWS volume control only to adjust the balance between it and the main speakers and not to use the volume control on the main speakers at all once you have completed initial setup. Instead, use the software volume con- trol in your computer’s operating sys- tem as the master volume control.

Placement and Setup
Because the SWS reproduces only very low frequencies, you can place it almost anywhere with good results. In most cases, however, you will get best performance with it placed in a corner. If that’s not practical, try to start out with it against a wall, since proximity to room boundaries strengthens low- frequency output. Bass response will vary according to the position of a subwoofer in the room, so you may want to experiment with different placements until you get the result you find most pleasing.
Once you have completed all signal connections and chosen an initial loca- tion for the SWS, you’re ready to plug it into a wall outlet and restore power to the rest of the system. Then you can make your final adjustments.
