Multimedia Speaker System
(Figs. 1 & 2)
The SWS subwoofer allows pass
through connection of as many as six
channels from your computer’s sound
card to your multimedia speaker sys-
tem, using standard stereo minijack
connectors. The subwoofer picks up
and reproduces low frequencies from
the signals on all these channels as
they pass through it on the way to the
main speaker system.
On the subwoofer’s back panel are
three input/output minijack pairs: one
green pair for left and right front chan-
nels (FRONT L/R) , a second black
pair for left and right surround chan-
nels (REAR L/R), and a third orange
pair for center channel and subwoofer
(CENTER/SUB). If you have a two-
speaker system, you will use only the
first pair. If you have a three-piece
speaker system, you will use the first
pair, and if you have a 4.1 system,
you will use the second pair as well.
If you have a 5.1-channel speaker
system, you will use all three pairs.
Signal Connections
The Klipsch ProMedia SWS subwoofer
can be used with any ProMedia
®
or
multimedia speaker system. It can also
be used to supplement the bass output
from a TV set or home audio system
that has appropriate line-level output
jacks, although the signal connections
are different. Connections are also dif-
ferent when the SWS is used with
Klipsch ProMedia speaker systems that
have the SWS-Link subwoofer output
jacks. Each type of signal connection is
described and diagramed separately
later, followed by directions on con-
necting the volume-control module,
attaching multiple SWS subwoofers,
and placement and setup.

Welcome to the Klipsch ProMedia
®
SWS subwoofer system.
Your SWS subwoofer will add a new
dimension to your enjoyment of your
multimedia sound system. We have
designed the SWS subwoofers to work
with almost any type of speaker sys-
tem, from stereo to 5.1 surround. In
this manual, we will explain the three
basic connection scenarios for your
SWS subwoofer, based on the type of
system you will be using it with, and
how to operate it in each of them.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before You Begin!
Do not plug in the SWS’s power cord
until all other wiring is completed.
Make sure that all other parts of the
system, including the computer, are
turned off or disconnected from power
while you are installing the SWS. Be
especially careful not to connect or dis-
connect any signal cables while power
is applied. Failure to observe this cau-
tion may result in loud hums, buzzes,
or pops that will at the very least be
startling and annoying and that in the
extreme may damage your speakers.
