Klipsch RSW-15 Brochure

Dual 15'' Powered Subwoofer

RSW-15

The RSW-15 is an extremely high-output, low­distortion powered subwoofer with response
extending to the lowest audible frequencies
and beyond. A true no-compromise design, it
brings unparalleled bass impact and emotional
intensity to any music or home theater system,
while maintaining the tight driver control
necessary to preserve all the subtle detail of
the original sound.

The RSW-15 has a rear-firing active driver
and a front-mounted passive radiator, both
with 15-inch Cerametallic™ cones and rigid,
low-resonance cast-aluminum frames. The
active driver’s massive 240-ounce motor
structure and 3-inch high-temperature voice
coil enable it to deliver rich, clean, gut­crunching bass down to the bottom of the
audible frequency range without sacrificing
clarity. It is powered by a high-efficiency
BASH®digital hybrid amplifier, capable of 2400
watts dynamic power output. The passive
radiator enables the RSW-15 to generate very
deep bass at levels that would ordinarily
require a much larger driver and enclosure.

To ensure seamless blending with a system’s
main speakers, the RSW
exceptionally steep 36dB/octave low-pass
electronic crossover with a continuously
variable frequency control and a phase switch.
A bypass switch allows direct connection to
the amplifier for use with the crossover built
into an A/V preamp or receiver. The
subwoofer’s level control is mounted on the
side of the cabinet for easy access. Input is line­level via a stereo pair of RCA jacks; another
pair of RCA jacks provides unfiltered output
for connection to a second subwoofer or
other component. An “auto power” feature
enables the subwoofer to turn on and off
automatically. The cabinet is available finished
in furniture-grade Blonde Maple, Medium

, or Black Ash wood veneer
