TAPCO SW•10 Features

REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION

This is where you connect your signal inputs and outputs to the subwoofer and make adjustments to the crossover and input sensitivity.

1. INPUT SENSITIVITY

•The SW•10 expects a line-level signal at its inputs.

•The left and right low-pass signals are summed after the crossover section. Use this control to adjust the sensitivity of the low-pass signal feeding the internal power amplifier.

5. LEFT AND RIGHT OUTPUTS

•Balanced XLR male and unbalanced RCA female connectors are provided for the line-level left and right high-pass outputs. Connect these to the inputs of the main speakers (if they are powered speakers) or to the inputs of the amplifier powering the main speakers.

•The signal at the left and right outputs is post- crossover. The low-pass output from the crossover goes to the internal power amplifier in the SW•10, while the high-pass output goes to these output jacks.

2. CROSSOVER

•There are two crossover controls, one for the left input signal and one for the right input signal.

•These adjust the crossover frequency for the built- in 24 dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley variable crossovers.

•The crossover frequency can be adjusted from 55 Hz to 110 Hz.

3. POLARITY

•This switch reverses the polarity of the signal going into the subwoofer amplifier by 180°. It has no effect on the signal at the Left and Right Outputs.

•There is no right or wrong setting for this switch. Listen to the overall blend of the subwoofer with the rest of the system, and select the switch position that gives you the best sound.

4. LEFT AND RIGHT INPUTS

•Balanced XLR female and unbalanced RCA female connectors are provided for the left and right inputs. Connect the full-range line-level signal from the mixer or preamplifier to these input jacks.

The connectors are wired as follows (per the AES/ IEC standard):

 

XLR

RCA

Hot (+)

Pin 2

Tip

Cold (–)

Pin 3

—

Shield (GND)

Pin 1

Sleeve

•If connecting a single subwoofer output or LFE output to the SW•10, you can use either the LEFT or RIGHT INPUT connector.

•CAUTION: NEVER connect the output of an amplifier directly to the input of the SW•10. This could damage the input circuitry of the active subwoofer.

6. AC SELECT

Set this switch to the correct voltage setting for the country you are in, 115 VAC or 230 VAC.

Note: The SW•10s are shipped with the AC SELECT switch set to the 230 VAC position. If you are in a country that uses 100-120 VAC, set the switch to the 115 VAC position and replace the fuse (located in the IEC socket) with the 1.6 A fuse included in the accessory bag. See the “Troubleshooting” section on page 11 for instructions on replacing the fuse.
