Precautions

Warnings

• Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the
unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may
result.

• Connect this unit’s power cord only to an AC outlet
of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as
marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and
electrical shock hazard.

• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power
cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical
shock hazard.

• Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on
top of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a
fire and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be
careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord
covered by a carpet.

• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor,
or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside
the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power
cord from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for
repair. Using the unit in this condition is a fire and
electrical shock hazard.

• Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be
damaged, turn the power switch off, remove the
power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your
dealer. If you continue using the unit without
heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock may
result.

• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare
wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement.
Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a fire
and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not remove the unit’s cover. You could receive
an electrical shock. If you think internal inspection,
maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact your
dealer.

• Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and
electrical shock hazard.

Cautions

• When rack-mounting the unit, allow enough free
space around the unit for normal ventilation. This
should be: 10 cm at the sides, 10 cm behind, and
40 cm above.
For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear
of the rack or open a ventilation hole.
If the airflow is not adequate, the unit will heat up
inside and may cause a fire.

• This unit has ventilation holes at the rear to prevent
the internal temperature rising too high. Do not
block this. Blocked ventilation holes are a fire
hazard.

• This unit is heavy. Use two or more people to carry
it.

• Keep this unit away from the following locations:
—Locations exposed to oil splashes or steam, such

as near cooking stoves, humidifiers, etc.

—Unstable surfaces, such as a wobbly table or

slope.

—Locations exposed to excessive heat, such as

inside a car with all the windows closed, or
places that receive direct sunlight.

—Locations subject to excessive humidity or dust

accumulation.

• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it
from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged
power cord is a potential fire and electrical shock
hazard.

• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard.

Operating Notes

• Turn off all musical instruments, audio equipment,
and speakers when connecting to this unit. Use the
correct connecting cables and connect as specified.

• Always lower the volume control to minimum
before turning on the power to this unit. A sudden
blast of sound may damage your hearing.

• Do not raise the volume of headphones or speakers
to a level that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Listening to loud music for long periods can
damage your hearing.

• This speaker is magnetic shielded. However, if a
nearby monitor displays any uneven colors, place it
further away from the monitor.

• You may feel a flow of air in and out of the port on
this unit. This is not abnormal and sometimes
occurs when a program with a lot of bass range is
played.

• XLR-type connectors are wired as follows: pin 1:
ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (–).

PHASE switch

This switch enables you to select a phase. You will
usually set this switch to “NORM.” However, the
“REV” setting may improve low-range sounds,
depending on the type and location of the entire
speaker system. Try both settings and select the one
with a better-sounding low-range output.

CUTOFF FREQ control

This control enables you to adjust the high-cutoff
frequency in the range of 40Hz through 120Hz
depending on the speakers you are using with the
SW10 and your personal preferences.

VOL (Volume) control

This control enables you to adjust the sound
volume.
(The factory default setting is “MIN.”)

INPUT jacks 1, 2, and 3

These are XLR-type balanced input jacks. Three
different signals can be input at these INPUT jacks
and routed to OUTPUT jacks 1, 2, and 3
respectively.

OUTPUT jacks 1, 2, and 3

These are XLR-type balanced output jacks. Connect
these jacks to the main speakers to route signals
input from INPUT jacks 1, 2, and 3 to the main
speakers. Alternatively, you an connect them to
another super-woofer for parallel woofer operation.

Power/Clip indicator

This indicator lights up green when you turn the
POWER switch on the rear panel ON. If the output
level is too high, causing clipping at the amplifier,
the indicator lights up red. In this case, lower the
level using the VOL control on the rear panel, or
lower the input level.

POWER switch

This switch turns the power to the SW10 on and
off. When you turn this switch on, the power/clip
indicator lights up green.

Note on the PHASE switch

The PHASE switch enables you to select
normal or reverse phase from the main
speakers.
When you change this setting, the sound may
change slightly. In particular, the spaciousness
and tightness of the sound across the entire
frequency range, and your perception of the
acoustic field may change. The effect of this
switch differs depending on the type of main
speakers (closed or bass reflex) and the
system’s installation conditions. Try both
settings and select whichever makes a more
natural sound.
