OPTION #2

Two channel or Dolby® Pro Logic receiver with no “Sub Out.”

If you elect to use the speaker level inputs, use two-conductor 16 gauge or thicker speaker wires. 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 receiver to the red (+) terminal on your speaker, and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the receiver to the black (-) terminal on your speaker. Speaker 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 connected backwards. Double check all connec- tions for correct polarity.

Strip 1/2" (12mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors on both ends to expose the bare wire. Twist the exposed wire of each conductor to form two un-frayed strands.

Note: Do not use the line or LFE input in this configuration.

Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver to the speaker level inputs of the powered subwoofer using speaker wire.

Then, connect the left and right front speakers using speaker wire from the speaker level outputs from the powered subwoofer.

Connect the Center Channel Speaker directly to the center channel output from your receiver.

Connect the Rear Surround Satellites directly to the rear or surround channel outputs from your receiver.

Receiver Settings:

Front speakers = LARGE

Subwoofer = “OFF” or “NO”

Center and Surrounds= SMALL

OPTION #2

Récepteur stéréo ou Dolby Pro Logic sans sortie «Sub Out.»

Si vous utilisez les entrées «speaker level» (niveau h.p.), utilisez du câble de haut-parleur

àdeux conducteurs de calibre 16 ou plus gros. Consultez votre revendeur Polk pour des conseils en matière de câblage.

Notez que les borne d’entrée haut-parleur à l’arrière du subwoofer sont rouge (+) et noire (-). Assurez-vous de bien raccorder le fil provenant de la borne rouge (+) de votre récepteur

àla borne rouge (+) de votre enceinte et le fil noir (-) provenant de la borne noire (-) de votre récepteur à la borne noire (-) de votre enceinte. La polarité de la plupart des câbles

àdeux conducteurs est codée (couleur, nervure ou écriture) pour faciliter son identifica- tion. Si votre subwoofer ne semble pas générer assez de graves, il est probable que la polarité d’un des câbles de haut-parleur soit inversée. Assurez-vous que la polarité de tous les conducteurs est respectée.

Retirez 12 mm (1/2 po) d’isolation de chaque conducteur aux deux bout du câble pour exposer les brins métalliques. Tordez les brins de chaque conducteur pour former deux torons non éraillés.

PSW110, PSW125 specifications

Polk Audio has long been a trusted name in the audio equipment industry, and their PSW series subwoofers, namely the PSW125 and PSW110, exemplify the brand's commitment to delivering high-quality sound performance in home theater systems. These subwoofers have garnered attention among audiophiles and casual listeners alike, thanks to their robust features, cutting-edge technology, and impressive sound characteristics.

The Polk Audio PSW125 is a powerful subwoofer that boasts a 12-inch dynamically balanced driver. This driver is designed to deliver deep, impactful bass that brings movies, music, and video games to life. With a built-in 300-watt peak power amplifier, the PSW125 can fill larger rooms with rich, low-frequency sounds, ensuring an immersive audio experience. The subwoofer also features an adjustable low-pass filter and a phase switch, allowing users to customize the sound to better match their room acoustics and personal preferences.

On the other hand, the PSW110 houses a 10-inch dynamic balance driver, making it a more compact option without compromising on performance. With a 150-watt RMS power amplifier and a peak output of 300 watts, the PSW110 delivers powerful bass that enhances any audio system. Like its larger sibling, the PSW110 offers adjustable settings, allowing users to fine-tune their listening experience. Its smaller size makes it ideal for tight spaces while still providing the punch required for home theater applications.

Both models employ Polk Audio’s patented Dynamic Balance technology, which significantly reduces distortion while enhancing the clarity and detail of the bass frequencies. This technology ensures that listeners can enjoy clean and accurate sound, regardless of volume levels or music genre.

The PSW subwoofers are also designed with durability in mind. Their robust MDF construction minimizes unwanted resonances, and the front-firing port design enhances the low-end response. This combination of durability, performance, and advanced technology makes both the PSW125 and PSW110 excellent choices for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience at home.

In summary, the Polk Audio PSW125 and PSW110 subwoofers stand out for their powerful bass output, customizable settings, and innovative technologies.
