PLACEMENT

Polk PSW Series subwoofers offer many placement options–in an entertainment center, behind furniture, or next to a sofa or chair. The subwoofer may be placed anywhere in the room, but for the greatest possible bass output place the subwoofer near a corner of the room. Allow at least 6 inches (15cm) of space between any subwoofer driver and a wall or obstruction (Figure 1). The subwoofer should only be placed on its feet. (Figure 2). NEVER LAY

THE SUBWOOFER ON THE AMPLI- FIER END—THIS WILL DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.

The PSW650 is not magnetically shield- ed and should not be placed close to a television set. If you see any color dis- tortion in your TV, move the subwoofer a few inches further away from the set.

CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER TO THE SYSTEM—GENERAL

If you elect to use the speaker level inputs, use two-conductor 16 gauge or thicker speaker wires. If you choose to use the line level inputs, use high quality, shielded RCA type interconnect cables. See your Polk dealer for wire recommendations.

Note that one of the speaker input terminals on the rear of the speaker is marked red (+) and the other black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your ampli- fier to the red (+) terminal on your speaker, and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the amplifier to the black (-) terminal on your speaker. Most wire has some indication (such as color coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help maintain consistency. If your subwoofer doesn’t seem to produce much bass, it is most likely that one of the speaker wires is con- nected backwards. Double check all connections for correct polarity.
