Polk Audio PSW1200 owner manual

FEATURES:

•Two 12-inch direct radiating smooth response subwoofer drivers.

•Power Port™ patented bass port for deep bass with low distortion.

•High-current 350 watt power amplifier.

•7 low level input channels—left front, right front, center, subwoofer, LFE, left rear and right rear—to allow connec- tion of every channel’s output to the subwoofer. There is never a question whether or not all the bass on your recording is getting to your PSW1200 subwoofer!

•Front panel volume control

•Variable low-pass crossover and

variable phase controls allow you to optimize performance to match your audio system, room acoustics, and program material

•Auto movie detect and bass boost. (When the center channel input senses a signal, it automatically boosts the overall subwoofer level by 3dB)

•Auto on/off circuit that automatically turns your Subwoofer on when it senses a program signal. When no signal is present, the amplifier turns itself off within 15 minutes

•Unfiltered LFE/Subwoofer input for use with low pass filtered subwoofer output jacks

•Speaker and line level inputs and outputs

•Switchable high-pass filters. When passed through the PSW1200, main channel signals may be high pass filtered at either 40Hz or 80Hz from both line or speaker level outputs

GETTING STARTED

Please inspect your subwoofer and its drivers carefully. Notify your Polk dealer if you notice any damage or missing items. Keep the carton and packing material. They will do the best job of protecting your PSW1200 if it needs

to be transported.

PLACEMENT

The Polk PSW1200 subwoofer may be placed anywhere in the room, but for the greatest possible bass output, place the subwoofer near a corner of the room. Due to a room acoustics phenom- enon called “standing waves,” bass response may be uneven throughout a room. In some areas of the room, the bass will be very loud, in others very weak. Experiment with subwoofer place- ment to find the location that yields the deepest, tightest bass in your favorite listening position.
