5.HIGH PASS Frequency adjustment with ON/OFF switch: This feature allows you to run R/L loudspeaker wires (RCA line level wires) from an amp/receiver/processor into the SWA-500M and then back to the main audio amplifier to the R/L loudspeakers. When the HIGH PASS Frequency switch is engaged, you can then control the frequencies to those R/L speakers via the front control knob. Use the HIGH PASS control to set the high-pass crossover frequency from 60 to 160 Hz (according to your loudspeaker manufacturer’s recommendation) to drive a satellite loudspeaker system amplifier from the line-level AUDIO OUT jacks. To activate the filtered signals, set the ON/OFF switch to ON.

6.The MODE indicator (on the far left) shows which power mode is active, as set by the (Auto) POWER switch: Green is ON; Red is STANDBY.

Figure 7. Back Panel Control on the SWA-500M

1.12V POWER TRIGGER: The SWA-500M can be turned on or off using the power switch on the back panel or it can turn on or off automatically via the 12V Power Trigger. For external power triggering, use a mini (3.5 mm) plug to connect the IN jack to a power on/off trigger signal from a home theater sound processor or receiver. The back-panel switch overrides this function and must be in the on position for the 12V power trigger to work. The input accepts (AC or DC) control signals with power ranging from 3 Volts to 30 Volts. Tip is positive. Power off is 0 Volts DC (or AC). You can use the OUT jack to pass the POWER TRIGGER signal to another SWA-500M amplifier or other trigger- activated device, such as motorized speakers or rear effects speaker’s dipole/bipole mode. Voltage will be present on the output jack whenever the amplifier is active. This

8is indicated by the green LED on the front panel.
