Klipsch Subwoofer Amplifier Service Manual KSAMM-002a THEORY OF OPERATION SW12, & SW15 Series I Amplifiers INPUTS There are two types of inputs and passive outputs. Four RCA jacks for LINE LEVEL left and right inputs and outputs and a panel of SPEAKER LEVEL inputs and outputs for left and right stereo channels.
Klipsch Subwoofer Amplifier Service Manual KSAMM-002a OTHER FEATURES This amplifier uses a control circuit to control the operation of the output relay. When power is first applied the circuit provides a delay before activating the relay. This is a protection feature to protect the speaker and amplifier from initial current surges.
