A Klipsch KSW subwoofer brings that “I’m part of the action” feeling to your home entertainment system in a way few other components can. If this is your first Klipsch purchase, welcome to the fold, if this is an additional Klipsch purchase, we thank you for your loyalty. When it comes to the best in home entertain- ment, Klipsch is a sound choice.
Channel Subwoofer Placement Your Klipsch subwoofer is designed to operate at frequencies below 120 Hz. As frequencies in this range are essentially omnidirectional (dif ficult to localize), there may be several options for the place- ment of your subwoofer. The position of the subwoofer in the room will effect its frequency response and a minor change in position will result in an audible difference.

If you use your speaker B terminals, they must be internally wired in parallel with the speaker A terminals or you’ll notice a dramatic drop in the volume level of your main speakers. If this occurs, connect your subwoofer wires to the same amplifier speaker terminals that are being used to drive your main speakers (parallel connection).

filter. The Klipsch subwoofer’s high pass filter has a gentle cutoff so there is still some audible signal con- tent in your main speakers below the high pass filter’s frequency. Because of this, the “LOW PASS”...
High Pass Crossover: Main speakers: line level outputs with switch- able high pass between 40 and 80 Hz, 6 dB/octave slope above 120 Hz. Speaker level outputs with fixed high pass at 100 Hz, 6 dB/octave slope. Phase: Switchable 0-180 degrees Inputs/Outputs: Line level RCA phono jacks.

Use the same high quality speaker cable that you would run to your main speakers (consult your Klipsch dealer for recommendations). Be sure to observe proper polarity (+ to + and - to -) when making connections between the subwoofer and main amplifier. If the polarity of one of these wires is reversed, the output of the subwoofer will be diminished.
• Regardless of your amplifier’s rated capacity, do not operate the speakers at the full output (highest volume): Amplifiers can create extremely high levels of distortion when operated at full output and such distortion may damage your loudspeakers. • Position speaker connection wires so that they do not create a hazard.
