Features; Getting Started; Placement - Polk Audio PSW1200 Owner's Manual

FEATURES:

• Two 12-inch direct radiating smooth
response subwoofer drivers.
• Power Port™ patented bass port for
deep bass with low distortion.
• High-current 350 watt power amplifier.
• 7 low level input channels—left front,
right front, center, subwoofer, LFE, left
rear and right rear—to allow connec-
tion of every channel's output to the
subwoofer. There is never a question
whether or not all the bass on your
recording is getting to your PSW1200
subwoofer!
• Front panel volume control
• Variable low-pass crossover and
variable phase controls allow you to
optimize performance to match your
audio system, room acoustics, and
program material
• Auto movie detect and bass boost.
(When the center channel input senses
a signal, it automatically boosts the
overall subwoofer level by 3dB)
• Auto on/off circuit that automatically
turns your Subwoofer on when it senses
a program signal. When no signal is
present, the amplifier turns itself off
within 15 minutes
• Unfiltered LFE/Subwoofer input for
use with low pass filtered subwoofer
output jacks
• Speaker and line level inputs and outputs
• Switchable high-pass filters. When
passed through the PSW1200, main
channel signals may be high pass
filtered at either 40Hz or 80Hz from
both line or speaker level outputs

GETTING STARTED

Please inspect your subwoofer and its
drivers carefully. Notify your Polk dealer
if you notice any damage or missing
items. Keep the carton and packing
material. They will do the best job of
protecting your PSW1200 if it needs
to be transported.

PLACEMENT

The Polk PSW1200 subwoofer may be
placed anywhere in the room, but for
the greatest possible bass output, place
the subwoofer near a corner of the
room. Due to a room acoustics phenom-
enon called "standing waves," bass
response may be uneven throughout a
room. In some areas of the room, the
bass will be very loud, in others very
weak. Experiment with subwoofer place-
ment to find the location that yields the
deepest, tightest bass in your favorite
listening position.
