SC-600 IW, SC-600 IF/IC SUBWOOFERS
SC-600 IW (In-Wall):
- Two high excursion 6.5” active drivers, two 12.5” x 3” oval
passive radiators with ribbed rubber surround
- High-excursion rubber surrounds on both active and passive drivers
- 2” 4 layer copper voice coils
- Frequency Response: 37-120 Hz (+/- 3 dB)
- 4 ohm impedance

- 12” (9.7” piston diameter) subwoofer
- 2.5” 4 layer copper voice coils
- Oversized spider for linearity at high excursion
- High-excursion rubber surround

- 4 ohm impedance
Note: The SC-600 IW and the SC-600 IF/IC must be driven with either the SC-600 or SC-602
amplifier. Use of any other power source voids the war
ranty.

Following are brief descriptions of the controls described in Figure 1. More detail on these
controls can be found in the next section.
(1) Power Switch
This button forces your SC-602 amplifier into standby mode. The power LED turns amber,
the numeric LED shuts of
mode until the POWER button is pr
use the main power switch on the back panel.
(2) Power LED
This LED illuminates when the power is on. Blue indicates normal operation. The LED turns
amber when the unit is in standby mode or the remote has been used to deactivate the unit,
and dims when the unit is in night mode.

(3) Mic Input
Connect the supplied microphone for the Auto-EQ feature to this mini-jack input.
(4) Remote Eye
This is the eye that receives infrared commands from the supplied remote control.
(5) Crossover
Use these UP and DOWN buttons to select the frequency below which all signals will be
outed to the subwoofer (for example, 80 Hz), rather than to the main speakers. The
r
frequency is briefly indicated on the LED display, then the display reverts to showing the
subwoofer’

display indicate the crossover is deactivated and the woofer plays all frequencies presented
to it. Please see page 8 for a more detailed discussion on crossovers.

6) LED Numeric Indicator
This LED supplies information on volume, crossover, woofer type, and other information. The
“
light” button on the remote deactivates this display. Upon startup, the display shows the
model of subwoofer the SC-602 amp is set to, then reverts to the volume indicator.
(7) Volume Control
These buttons allow you to balance the output from the subwoofer with the output of the
main speakers in your system. The volume should be set to achieve similar volume level of
both the main speakers and subwoofer. The default volume is 30.
Note: Volume can also be controlled by using the supplied remote.
WARNING: Some manufacturers preset their receivers with the Sub-Out (a.k.a. LFE)
channel signal at a minimum level. It is very important to verify that your receiver Sub-Out
channel is set to the same output level as your front right and left channels. Refer to your
receiver manual for the individual channel level adjustment procedure. If your receiver
Sub-Out channel is set too low, the subwoofer may appear to have a weak output, it may
sound noisy or distorted, and the Auto On/Off feature may not operate properly.
(8) Optional Rack Mount Ears (Included)
These ears can be attached to the SC-602 amp to allow standard 19” rack mounting.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
Following are brief descriptions described in Figure 2. More detail on these controls can be
found in the next section.

These RCA connectors are for passing along the same signal that goes into your subwoofer
to a second “daisy-chained” system. The signal fr

(10) Line Input / LFE Input
Connect these jacks to the LINE OUT pr
of your receiver/processor. If using the LFE output from your receiver or processor, plug
the single cable into the jack labeled LFE input or, for more signal, use a “Y” connector
(optional) and feed the signal into both “R” and “L” inputs. Examples of these types of
connections can be found in Figures 2A and 2B.
