POLK AUDIO—A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE Polk Audio was founded in 1972 by Matthew Polk and George Klopfer. Their dream was to make the highest performance speakers, at reasonable prices. They did so by applying scientific principles to speaker design and by concentrating solely on the speaker business.
• Unfiltered LFE input for use with low pass filtered subwoofer output jacks. • Speaker and line level inputs. GETTING STARTED Please inspect each loudspeaker carefully. Notify your Polk dealer if you notice any damage or missing items.
THE SUBWOOFER ON THE AMPLI- FIER END—THIS WILL DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER. The PSW650 is not magnetically shield- ed and should not be placed close to a television set. If you see any color dis- tortion in your TV, move the subwoofer a few inches further away from the set.
INSERT SPEAKER WIRE THROUGH HOLE FIGURE 2A. AMPLIFIER HOOK-UP OPTIONS The PSW650 offers a wide range of hook-up and use options. Each option has advantages and potential down- sides. The option that is best for you depends on your electronics, main speakers and your personal taste.

“on” or “yes.” Connect the subwoofer output jack to the “LFE/Subwoofer” input of the PSW650. Disconnect the other speakers in the system so that all you can hear is the subwoofer. Play music or a movie with vocal content.
Connect the preamp output jacks to the left and right inputs of the PSW650 with high quality RCA cables. Connect the left and right outputs of the PSW650 to the power amp inputs (Figure 9).
This control only affects signals that are sent through the line level “IN” jacks and the speaker level inputs. It has no effect on signals fed into the LFE input. When using smaller main speakers, the upper range of the control will probably yield the best results.
Should you isolate the problem to the speaker, contact the authorized Polk Audio dealer where you made your purchase. Authorized Polk Audio dealers are the best source for advice and assistance.
