Setting the Aperion Audio SW-12 Subwoofer

In addition to the high and low-level speaker connections on the rear of your subwoofer, you will see three round knobs and two switches. The first knob, labeled “phase” allows you to adjust the polarity of your subwoofer. The second knob, “crossover” sets the crossover frequency and the “level” knob controls the sub’s volume.

The power switch has three settings - on, off and auto. When the switch is set in the “auto” setting, it will automatically turn the sub on when a signal is present. You’ll know the subwoofer is on because the power light will be illuminated.

The SW-12 also has switchable voltage control. Please be sure the appropriate voltage has been selected for your area. (US 115V - European 230V) The illustration to the right shows a recommended starting point for settings. You will want to adjust these based on personal preference and room dynamics.
