FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

ADJUSTING THE FEET

The SW10 and SW12 are equipped with four adjustable spiked feet, pre-installed with large, slip-on rubber covers. At the final placement location, adjust the feet/spikes as follows:

•On hard floors (e.g., wood, tile, etc.), check the SW10 and SW12’s stability and, if needed, adjust the rubber feet one at a time until the cabinet is level.

•On carpeted floors, tilt the SW10 and SW12 up and remove each rubber cover. Check the SW10 and SW12’s stability and, if needed, adjust the spikes one at a time until the cabinet is level.

CONNECTING THE SW10 AND SW12

Connect the SW10 and SW12 according to your application (see APPLICATIONS on page 10). Use high-quality RCA cables for all line-level connections (see CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS on page 7). For applications with loudspeaker-level connections, perform the following steps:

1.At each SW10 and SW12 loudspeaker-level connection, separate the loudspeaker wire so that at least 2 inches of each conductor are free. Strip away 1/4 inch of insulation from each loudspeaker wire. Using correct polarity, connect the appropriate conductor to each five-way, speaker level, input binding post.

NOTE: OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY: POSITIVE (+) GOES TO THE RED POST AND NEGATIVE

(–)GOES TO THE BLACK POST. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WIRE POLARITY, SEE THE SECTION, CHECKING PHASE ON THE SATELLITE LOUDSPEAKERS, ON PAGE 14.

2.Connect the other end of the loudspeaker wires to the home theater receiver (or amplifier) and satellite loudspeakers in the same way.

3.Using the five-way binding post of the SW10 and SW12, connect the loudspeaker outputs to the appropriate satellite loudspeaker in the same way.

4.Turn on the home theater receiver and calibrate all loudspeakers in the system according to the receiver (processor) manufacturer’s instructions.

SW10, SW12 specifications

Niles Audio has established itself as a revered name in the audio industry, celebrated for delivering high-quality sound solutions for home theater systems and other audio applications. Two standout models in their lineup, the Niles SW12 and SW10 subwoofers, epitomize the brand's commitment to superior sound performance, innovative technologies, and user-centric design.

The Niles SW12 is a powerhouse subwoofer, boasting a 12-inch high excursion driver. This driver enables the SW12 to generate deep, rich bass that can fill even the largest rooms with immersive sound. The subwoofer features a built-in amplifier rated at 400 watts RMS, allowing it to handle peaks of up to 800 watts. This significant power output ensures that it can deliver dynamic bass response across various music genres and movie soundtracks, enhancing the overall listening experience.

In contrast, the SW10 is designed for users seeking a more compact option without sacrificing performance. Featuring a 10-inch high excursion driver and a built-in amplifier with 250 watts RMS power handling, the SW10 is ideal for smaller home theater systems or rooms where space is at a premium. Despite its smaller size, the SW10 still delivers impressive low-frequency output, making it a viable choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

Both subwoofers utilize advanced technologies like a front-firing driver design, which optimizes the sound output by directing the bass towards the listening area rather than allowing it to bounce off walls. This design maximizes the clarity and punch of bass frequencies. Additionally, both models feature adjustable crossover and phase controls, allowing users to tailor the subwoofer's performance to integrate seamlessly with their existing speakers.

The SW12 and SW10 come equipped with robust construction to minimize vibrations and cabinet resonance, which can compromise sound quality. Their sleek and modern aesthetics enable them to blend effortlessly into home environments, whether placed in a corner or as a focal point in a dedicated home theater.

In summary, Niles Audio's SW12 and SW10 subwoofers are distinguished by their powerful performance, advanced technologies, and versatile design. Whether you choose the mighty SW12 or the more compact SW10, both models promise to elevate your audio experience, making them excellent additions to any sound system.
