screw them into the presubwoofer with a screwdriver. Once the feet are tightly secured,
place the subwoofer upright on its feet.

Connecting Your Subwoofer Subwoofer Controls
such as short circuits from damaging your equipment.
The PSW112 subwoofer can be connected to your system using
one of three methods. The method you select is based on the
configuration of your system.
1. Amplifier with a subwoofer output connection – If your
system has a subwoofer output connection, use an RCA
type connector to connect the PSW112 subwoofer to your
receiver. A shielded audio cable is required for this setup
with a Y-adapter connecting the audio cable to Left and
Right Line Level Input on the subwoofer.
2. Separate pre -amp/power amp configuration – When
using a separate pre-amplifier/power amplifier the audio
cables may be routed through the PSW112 subwoofer unit.
Connect the pre-amplifier to the Line Level Inputs via RCA
v Volume Control – The volume control should be
set to the desired bass level for the system.
v Phase – The Phase switch is set for the bes t bass
sound. Switch between the 0 and 180 position until
the bass is the loudest. In some applications, there
may be no noticeable difference and in this case
leave the switch in the 0 position.
