LOW FREQUENCY CUT-OFF FOR MID-RANGE SPEAKERS IN SYSTEMS WITH SUBWOOFERS

Now that you have a subwoofer in your system, you may want to decrease the amount of bass going to your mid-range speakers. This will get you better mid-range sound and increase the power handling. There are two ways to roll off the bass before it gets to your mid-range speakers. One way is to use a “bass blocker,” a capacitor placed in series with the speaker input. Bass blockers are installed in series, one end connected with the positive lead from your amplifier and the other end connected to the positive lead of each of your speakers. Bass blocker capacitors (200 microfarad @ 100volts, non-polarized) are available at any RadioShack or parts supply house. The other route is to use

an electronic crossover device that allows filtering below 100Hz or so. Find these devices at your authorized Polk Audio dealer.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE OR SERVICE “NO SOUND?”

If, after following these hookup and installation directions, you experience difficulty, please double-check all wire connections.

Make certain your electronic equipment is operating correctly by hooking up another speaker to the speaker output. For example, if you are not getting sound from the left channel speaker, connect the right channel speaker to the left output. If you still get no sound from that side, the problem is in your amp or source electronics. Should you isolate the problem to the speaker, contact the authorized Polk Audio dealer where you bought your speakers. Authorized Polk Audio dealers are the best source for advice and assistance.

Polk Audio’s Customer Service Department is available from 9am–6pm, EST, Monday through Friday, at 800-377-7655 (US & Can only, outside the US call 410-358-3600). Please do not hesitate to call us if you have questions about your speaker system.
