POSITIONING YOUR POWERED SUBWOOFER

Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce the deep bass and deliver

the impact that really makes your movies and music come alive. For optimum

performance, place your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall

as your front channel speakers. Refer to Figure 1 for placement. 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 but many result in

tighter sounding bass. 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 con-

nect the subwoofer’s built-in ampliﬁer to an AC power outlet.

CONNECTING YOUR POWERED SUBWOOFER TO YOUR ELECTRONICS

Controls and Optional Connections — Powered subwoofers can be hooked

up to the subwoofer output of your electronics via the RCA jack inputs on the

subwoofer’s rear panel. Refer to Figure 2. This is prefered over the conventional

speaker wire connections. For more information on the controls mentioned in this

manual and on bass management, see your dealer or visit www.klipsch.com.

“Line In” – This input is ﬁltered by the built-in Low Pass (LP) crossover and is

designed as a general purpose input for the subwoofer.

Conventional Speaker Wire Connection — Using 16-gauge or larger speaker

wire, connect the RED “positive” (+) terminal of your ampliﬁer’s LEFT channel to

the RED “positive” (+) terminal of your subwoofer’s LEFT channel input (“Speaker

In”). Connect the BLACK “negative” (–) terminal of your ampliﬁer’s LEFT chan-

nel to the BLACK “negative” (–) terminal of your subwoofer’s LEFT channel input

(“Speaker In”). Repeat this procedure for connecting your ampliﬁer’s RIGHT chan-

nel to your subwoofer’s RIGHT channel input. Refer to Figure 2. Take care to make

sure that no bare wires from any of the connections touch any other terminals as

this could cause a short and damage your equipment.

“Low Pass (LP) Crossover” – The crossover allows the user to select the

upper-frequency cutoff of the subwoofer. The frequency is selectable from 40-

120Hz. Frequencies above the set level are ﬁltered out, allowing you to blend the

subwoofer’s output into your main speakers.

“Level” – The “Level” control serves as an overall volume control for the sub-

woofer. It is used to match the output level of the sub to your main speakers.

“Phase 0/180” – This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer’s

output to your main speakers. You want to select one of the two positions, either

0 or 180, in which your sub has more output at your listening position.

“Power Off/Auto/On” – “OFF/AUTO/ON” - Selecting “Auto” allows the sub

to turn on the audio ampliﬁcation when it senses an audio input signal. It will

automatically turn off the audio ampliﬁcation after 20 minutes if no signal input

is detected. The sub has an LED on the bottom of the front panel that indicates

the status of the auto function. The LED will light RED when the ampliﬁer is in the

“Off” position or in the “Auto” position with no audio signal, and GREEN when the

ampliﬁer is receiving a signal in the “Auto” position or when in the “On” position.

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR POWERED SUBWOOFER

The only thing you should ever need to do to your speakers is dust them oc-

casionally. Never apply any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner or any harsh deter-

gent. You can clean the grilles with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.

Your Klipsch subwoofer is equipped with both Speaker (High) Level and Line In (Low) Level hookups. The connection you

use depends on what type of receiver (or pre-ampliﬁer) you are hooking the subwoofer to. Do not hook up both connec-

tions together as damage to your system may be a result! Most connections will use the Line In Connection.
