Connecting the Subwoofer

Caution: Turn off your preamplifier/receiver and your subwoofer before making any connections!

Inputs and Outputs

Line In

Your Palladium Series powered sub- woofer is connected via line-level connections only. RCA-type and XLR inputs are provided and either may be used. Do not connect both at the same time. Use the “Subwoofer”, “LFE” or “Pre-amp” outputs of your system’s electronics to connect to the “LINE IN” input connections of your subwoofer. Use high-quality, shielded, line-level cables for these connections.

Line Out

This jack can be used as an alternate method of connecting a second subwoofer to your system. This second subwoofer can function as a “slave” to the primary subwoofer. (For more on this, see the “Back Pan- el Features” section of this manual.) RCA-type and XLR inputs are pro- vided and either may be used. Do not connect both at the same time. Use high-quality, shielded, line-level cables for these connections.

P-312W specifications

The Klipsch P-312W is a high-performance powered subwoofer designed to deliver an extraordinary audio experience for both music lovers and home theater enthusiasts. Its impressive capabilities stem from innovative technologies and a robust design that form the backbone of Klipsch's reputation in the premium audio market.

One of the standout features of the P-312W is its powerful 300-watt RMS amplifier. This ensures that the subwoofer can reproduce deep, dynamic bass that enhances the overall listening experience, whether you're watching an action-packed movie or listening to your favorite music tracks.

Klipsch has integrated its proprietary Tractrix Horn technology into the P-312W’s design to ensure precise sound reproduction. The horn-loaded design enhances audio dispersion, resulting in a superior listening experience across a wide room. This technology ensures that bass is not just felt, but also heard, creating an immersive sound environment that captivates listeners.

The subwoofer features a sleek, modern aesthetic, available in a classic black finish that complements any home décor. Its sturdy MDF construction helps reduce resonance, improving sound clarity and ensuring durability. With a front-firing design, the P-312W can be positioned in various locations within a room without compromising sound quality.

Connectivity is another significant advantage of the Klipsch P-312W. It is equipped with both LFE and line-level inputs, making it compatible with a variety of audio systems, from high-end AV receivers to compact sound systems. The subwoofer also features adjustable gain, low-pass filter, and phase control, enabling users to customize the sound according to their preferences and room dynamics.

In addition, the P-312W supports both wired and wireless connectivity options. When paired with the optional Klipsch WA-2 wireless adapter, users can eliminate speaker wire clutter without sacrificing audio quality.

In summary, the Klipsch P-312W powered subwoofer is engineered for performance, delivering powerful, precise bass in a stylish, durable package. Its blend of innovative technology, robust construction, and flexible connectivity makes it a popular choice among both casual listeners and serious audiophiles alike.
