Be sure to keep the product’s original shipping carton.

POSITIONING YOUR SW SUBWOOFER

Klipsch® powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music come alive. Typically, optimum performance will result if you place your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers (Refer to Figure 1). Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect upon the performance of your powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above, will increase the amount of bass output, while placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the room will decrease the amount of bass output. Experiment with a number of different placement options and control settings to ﬁnd the one that best suits your particular room and taste. When choosing your subwoofer’s location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofer’s built-in ampliﬁer to an AC power outlet.

CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS

CAUTION: Ensure that the subwoofer is unplugged from the AC wall outlet before making any connections. Do not connect both “High Level” and “Line Level” inputs at the same time as damage to your equipment could result!

“LINE IN” Connection - Most of today’s surround receivers (and pre-ampliﬁers) have a line level subwoofer output labeled Subwoofer Pre Out, Sub Out, SW Out, etc. If you have this output, connect one end of a subwoofer cable to it and connect the other end of the cable into the subwoofer line input labeled LEFT/LFE. This connection allows the subwoofer to operate with both music and surround sound movies (refer to your receiver manual). In absence of a subwoofer output on your receiver, as an alternative hookup, you can connect Left and Right channel Pre-Amp Outputs from your receiver (if provided) to the Left/LFE and Right input on the subwoofer.

“HIGH LEVEL” Connection - If your receiver (or pre-ampliﬁer) does not have a Subwoofer Pre Out, Sub Out, SW Out, etc. connection, you can connect the SW subwoofer via the High Level Connection. Using 16 gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the RED “positive” (+) terminal of your ampliﬁer’s LEFT channel to the RED (+) terminal of your subwoofer’s LEFT channel (High Level In). Connect the BLACK “negative” (-) terminal of your ampliﬁer’s LEFT channel to the BLACK “negative” (-) terminal of your subwoofer’s LEFT channel input (High Level In). Repeat this procedure for connecting your ampliﬁer’s RIGHT channel input. Take care that no bare wires from any of the connections touch any other terminals, or each other, as this could damage your equipment. This connection to your receiver will be to the same terminals as your main speakers are connected to.

“GAIN” Control - If your subwoofer is connected to a Subwoofer Output of a surround receiver, ﬁrst set the subwoofer volume level control in the receiver to the “half way” or “0 dB” position. Then increase the volume (or gain) of the subwoofer up until the subwoofer’s volume level matches the output of your main speakers. After this setup is completed, the volume control on your system’s main ampliﬁer or pre-ampliﬁer will be the volume control for both your subwoofer and speakers together. If your subwoofer is connected to the L/R Pre-Amp Outputs of a receiver or connected via the High-Level connection to the receiver’s speaker terminals, there will be no subwoofer volume in that receiver to set before setting the subwoofer’s gain control.

“LOWPASS” Control - The crossover point chosen determines where low bass frequencies are “handed off” from the speakers to the subwoofer. If setting the crossover point in the receiver, turn the Lowpass Filter knob on the subwoofer to the farthest point right (150Hz). Set the crossover point based on the size of the main left/right speakers you are using in the system. As a general rule, for larger, ﬂoorstanding speakers, set the crossover point between 50Hz-90Hz. If using small bookshelf or “satellite” speakers for the mains, set the crossover point between 90Hz-150Hz. The smaller the speaker, the higher the setting until the bass frequencies blend well between the speakers and your subwoofer once your

system is completely hooked up. If your receiver does not have a crossover point setting, set the Lowpass Filter on the subwoofer instead within the same recommended settings (see receiver manual for additional speaker setup info).

“PHASE” 0/180 - This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer’s output to your main speakers. Select the position, either 0° or 180°, in which your subwoofer has more output at the listening position.

“POWER” AUTO/ON/OFF - This is the main A/C power switch for the subwoofer. This switch must be in the “ON” position for the subwoofer to operate and for the “AUTO/ON” switch to function. Set this switch to the “OFF” position if the subwoofer will not be used for an extended period of time (i.e. vacation).

When this switch is in the “AUTO” position, the subwoofer will automatically turn “on” when it senses a signal. It will automatically turn “off” after 20 minutes with no signal. When this switch is in the “ON” position, the subwoofer will remain “on” as long as the “POWER” ON/OFF switch is in the “ON” position. When this switch is in the “OFF” position, the subwoofer will remain “off” as long as the “POWER” ON/OFF switch is in the “OFF” position.

连接与控制注意：确保低音炮是从AC电源插座拔出，然后才作出

任何连接。请勿同时连接“HIGH LEVEL”（高电平）和“LINE LEVEL”（线路电平），否则可能会损坏设备！

“LINE IN” 连接－当前，大部分环绕声接收机（和前级放大器）均有一个线路电平低音炮输出，标示为 Subwoofer Pre Out、Sub Out、SW Out 等。如果您的设备配有此输出装置，请将低音炮线缆一端接到该输出口，另一端接到低音炮上标示为 LEFT/LFE 的线路输入。连接后，低音炮将能够演绎音乐和环绕声电影（请见接收机说明书）。如果接收机上没有低音炮输出，作为另一种连接方案，您可以将接收机上 Left（左）和 Right（右）声道 Pre-Amp Outputs（前级放大器输出）（如果有的话）接到低音炮的 Left/LFE 和 Right 输入上。

“HIGH LEVEL”连接－如果接收机（或前级放大器）没有低音炮 Pre Out、Sub Out、SW Out 等接口，您可以通过 High Level 接口来连接 SW 低音炮。用16 号或更粗的喇叭线连接功放 LEFT（左）声道的红色“正极”（＋）至低音炮 LEFT（左）声道（High Level In）的红色（＋）极。连接功放 LEFT（左）声道的黑色“负极”（－）至低音炮LEFT声道输入口（High Level In）的黑色“负极”（－）。重复上述操作，连接功放的 RIGHT（右）声道输入口。注意不要让接线的线芯触到其他接头或是相互接触，因为这样会损坏您的设备。把接线接到主音箱所连接的接收机端子上。

放置您的SW低音炮 KLIPSCH有源低音炮用来营造重低音效果，在播放电影和

音乐时产生如临其境的效果。一般而言，将低音炮音响放在与前面板音响同扇墙的角落便可获得最佳音效（请见图 1）。请注意，室内布置能对有源低音炮的音效产生很大影响。如上述建议，将低音炮布置在拐角处能够增加低音输出量，将低音炮布置在墙的中间位置或是在房间中间，则会减少低音输出量。尝试多种不同的布置方式和控制设置，确定最适合您房间和音效偏好的选择。选择低音炮位置时，须考虑低音炮内置功放需接到交流电源插座上。

“GAIN” Control （增益）控制－如果低音炮是接到环绕声接收机的低音炮输出上，先将接收机上的低音炮音量控制器调到“中位” 或“0 dB”位置。然后调高低音炮音量（或增益），直到低音炮音量与主音箱输出音量吻合。完成该设置后，系统的主功放或前级放大级上的音量控制将成为低音炮和音箱的音量控制器。如果低音炮接到接收机的 L/R Pre-Amp Output（前级放大器左/右输出）上或通过 High-Level 接头接到接收机的喇叭端子上，则无需在设置低音炮增益控制前设置接收机的低音炮音量。

“LOWPASS” Control （低通）控制－所选的分频点决定低通频率从音箱转到低音炮处理的分界点。如果在接收机上设置分频点，请将低音炮上的“Lowpass Filter”（低通滤波器）旋扭向最右方（150赫Hz）旋转。根据您在系统使用的左/右主音箱的大小来设置分频点。一般而言，对于大型落地主音箱，可将分频点设在 50Hz－90Hz 之间。如果是把小书架或“卫星”音箱作为主音箱，则可将分频点设在 90Hz－150Hz 之间。若是更小的音箱，那么在系统连接完成后，分频点应设置更高，直到低音炮和音箱之间的低音频完美融合。如果接收机无分频点设置功能，可以设置低音炮上的“Lowpass Filter”（低通滤波器），建议设置范围相同（请见接收机说明书，了解更多音箱设置信息）。

“PHASE” 0/180 －该控制用于调节低音炮输出使其音色与主音箱搭配。选择 0° 或 180° 的位置，相位调节得当可增加聆听位置的输出。

“POWER” AUTO/ON/OFF －这是低音炮的主交流电源开关。该开关须在“ON”位置，低音炮才能工作，同时“AUTO/

ON”开关才会有效。低音炮长时不用时（如外出度假时）请将开关调到“OFF”位置。

开关调到“AUTO”位置时，低音炮将在感应到信号时自动“ 打开”。如果没有信号，它将在 20 分钟内自动“关闭”。开关调至“ON”位置时，那么只要“POWER” ON/OFF 开关在“ON”位，低音炮就始终“打开”。开关调至“OFF”位置时，那么只要“POWER” ON/OFF 开关在“OFF”位，低音炮就始终“关闭”。

电源 LED 指示灯－该 LED 灯位于前挡板，用于显示内置放大器的工作状态。绿色的LED灯打开时，放大器和接收信号。如果该 LED 灯不亮，则表明放大器关闭。如需了解更多关于本说明中述及的控制以及低音炮管理方面的信息，请咨询经销商或访问 www.klipsch.com。
