Adjustments

Crossover frequency and output level

•Adjust the SKW-204 output level and crossover fre- quency to suit your listening room and connected speakers.

•Be aware that you might set the subwoofer to a high output level because superbass-range sound is less audible than other sound ranges. To obtain well-bal- anced frequency characteristics, set the output level to a slightly lower level than seems optimal. (This will also prevent the input of signals that are too strong.)

Note:

Be careful not to allow the input of excessive power. Input levels that greatly exceed normal situations can damage the SKW-204. Also note that switching opera- tions at the amplifier may generate excessive noise that may result in damage. When using switches at the amplifier, first lower the volume to prevent accidental damage.

Placement

The placement of the SKW-204 can greatly affect the sound that is produced. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the width of the wall, as shown.
