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. 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.
CONNECTING YOUR POWERED SUBWOOFER TO YOUR ELECTRONICS
Conventional Speaker Wire Connection — Using 16-gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the RED “positive” (+) ter-
minal 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 channel to the BLACK “nega-
tive” (–) terminal of your subwoofer’s LEFT channel input (“Speaker In”). Repeat this procedure for connecting your
amplifier’s RIGHT channel 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.
Controls and Optional Connections — Powered subwoofers can be hooked up to the subwoofer output of your electron-
ics via the RCA jack inputs on the subwoofer’s rear panel. Refer to Figure 3. This can be in place of the convention-
al speaker wire connections. For more information on the controls mentioned in this manual and on bass manage-
ment, 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.
“LOW PASS (LP) CROSSOVER” – The crossover allows the user to select the upper-frequency cutoff of the sub-
woofer. 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 subwoofer. 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” – Selecting “Auto” allows the sub to turn on automatically when it senses an input signal.
It will automatically turn off after 20 minutes with no signal input. Klipsch powered subwoofers have LED’s on the
bottom of the front panel that indicates power status of the built-in amplifier. The LED will light RED when the ampli-
fier is in standby mode, and GREEN when the amplifier is on and receiving a signal.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR POWERED SUBWOOFER
The only thing you should ever need to do to your speakers is dust them occasionally. Never apply any abrasive or solvent-
based cleaner or any harsh detergent. You can clean the grilles with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
