Keypad Lock
This screen is used to lock the keypad and prevent unintentional changes to your settings by other users. After
making all desired adjustments, press the Enter key to lock the keypad. “Keypad Locked Hold to Unlock”
will be displayed. The display will then return to the default “Volume” screen after about 20 seconds. To unlock
the keypad, press and hold the Left and Right touch keys until the display returns to the “Volume” screen. The
keypad is now unlocked. It is suggested that you write down all of your settings for future reference in case the
keypad is unlocked and your settings are changed by another user. From this screen, press the Down or Up
touch key to access other control settings.
System Info Press
This screen is used to access the software “Version” number and “System Reset” function to clear all user settings
and memories (Refer to the “Save Settings” section of this manual). If the “System Reset” function is activated all
of the memory presets are erased and the subwoofer’s controls are restored to the default settings of: “Volume
0db”, “EQ Mode Flat”, “Lowpass O LFE Mode”, “Phase 0°”, “Disp Brightness” (highest level) and “Power Always On.
For more information on the controls mentioned in this manual and on the bass management settings
of your electronics, see your authorized Klipsch dealer or visit www.klipsch.com.
Features and Controls - 4
This section describes the features and connections found on the amplier on the back panel of the subwoofer.
It also describes the manner for connecting a second subwoofer as a “slave” unit to the primary subwoofer.
Power On/O
This is the main AC power switch for the subwoofer. This
switch must be in the “On” position for the subwoofer to
operate and for the “Auto On” feature to function. Set this
switch to the “O” position if the subwoofer will not be used
for an extended period of time (i.e. vacation) or when mak-
ing any connections to the subwoofer.
USB
This USB computer interface allows access to additional
advanced features within the subwoofer’s ARC room
correction software. Optional, proprietary Klipsch software
and a higher level of technical knowledge are required to
correctly utilize this capability. This port can also function as an
alternative control interface with A/V control systems that can
utilize a USB connection. Please contact your authorized Klip-
sch dealer or Klipsch Technical Support for more information.
Line Out
There are both RCA-type and XLR connections provided for line out signals. Choose the one appropriate for your
system. Do not use both at the same time. This connection can be used as an alternate connection point for a
second subwoofer as opposed to connecting them both to your electronics. Be aware that the signal output from
these jacks is aected by the “Volume”, “EQ”, “Lowpass”, “Lowpass Slope”, “Phase” and “Room Correction” settings of
your Palladium subwoofer. The advantage of this is the ability of the Adaptive Room Correction (ARC) function to
correct the response of the second subwoofer resulting in a more accurate response. If the second subwoofer is
connected directly to your system, the Palladium subwoofer’s ARC will react to, rather than control, the response
of the other subwoofer. As a result, we recommend the following procedure when connecting a second sub-
woofer to these outputs:
Play a signal, such as one of the Palladium subwoofer’s two demo tracks and set the volume control of the
second subwoofer to approximately match that of the Palladium subwoofer.
Defeat the secondary subwoofer’s lowpass setting by selecting the “Bypass” or “LFE” mode or set the lowpass
control to its highest frequency if these options are not present.
Set the secondary subwoofer’s phase control to 0°.
Run the “Room Correction” function on the Palladium subwoofer.
As with the initial setup of your Palladium subwoofer, listen to a track with a repeating bass line in your listen-
ing position. Experiment with alternate phase settings on the secondary sub, while repeating this track. If
one of these alternate settings yields an increased amount of bass, choose that setting and run the Palladium
subwoofer’s room correction function again.
Please note that if either the volume or phase settings on the secondary sub are changed after running the
ARC function, you will have to either reset them to the location they were at when the room correction was
performed or run the ARC calibration again to compensate.
