POSITIONING YOUR POWERED SUBWOOFER
Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce the deep bass and deliver the impact that really 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 Figure 1 for placement. Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect upon 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 but many result in tighter sounding bass. 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 con- nect the subwoofer’s
CONNECTING YOUR POWERED SUBWOOFER TO YOUR ELECTRONICS
Controls and Optional Connections — Powered subwoofers can be hooked up to the subwoofer output of your electronics via the RCA jack inputs on the subwoofer’s rear panel. Refer to Figure 2. This is prefered over the conventional
speaker wire connections. For more information on the controls mentioned in this manual and on bass management, see your dealer or visit www.klipsch.com.
“Line In” – This input is filtered by the
Conventional Speaker Wire Connection — Using
“Low Pass (LP) Crossover” – The crossover allows the user to select the
“Level” – The “Level” control serves as an overall volume control for the sub- woofer. It is used to match the output level of the sub to your main speakers.
“Phase 0/180” – This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer’s output to your main speakers. You want to select one of the two positions, either 0 or 180, in which your sub has more output at your listening position.
“Power Off/Auto/On” – “OFF/AUTO/ON” - Selecting “Auto” allows the sub to turn on the audio amplification when it senses an audio input signal. It will automatically turn off the audio amplification after 20 minutes if no signal input is detected. The sub has an LED on the bottom of the front panel that indicates the status of the auto function. The LED will light RED when the amplifier is in the “Off” position or in the “Auto” position with no audio signal, and GREEN when the amplifier is receiving a signal in the “Auto” position or when in the “On” position.
