SWR WORKINGMAN’S SERIES BASS SPEAKER ENCLOSURE USER GUIDE INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of an SWR WorkingMan’s Series bass speaker enclo- sure. By placing an SWR cabinet in your bass amplification system you have made a sound desicion that could very well be the best of your life! Just a little humor there, but true nonetheless.
GENERAL INFORMATION Connection Only one amplifier at a time can be connected to your WorkingMan’s speaker enclosure. DO NOT plug two amplifiers into one speaker enclosure, as it will not work and may damage your system. Always complete your amplifier-to-speaker and speaker-to-speaker connections before powering up your sys- tem.
8 ohm load. To connect your amplifier to the WorkingMan’s 1X10T, run a high quality speaker cable (18 gauge or heavier) from your amplifier’s speaker output to the designated 1/4" speaker input on the cabinet's input panel.

WORKINGMAN’S TOWER Tweeter Attenuator Control The large dial found on the input panel of the cabinet is the Tweeter Attenuator Control (see dia- gram, page 4). This control is used to adjust the level of high frequency signal present at the tweeter.
IMPEDANCE: A GENERAL OVERVIEW The following terms will be helpful in understanding the information in this section: Impedance: The resistance of a device to the flow of alternating current. Often used to rate the resistance of a speaker's voice coil. Ohm: A unit of electrical resistance equal to that of a conductor in which a current of one ampere is produced by a potential of one volt across its terminals.
IMPEDANCE (continued) one 8 ohm enclosure, you know you can add one more 8 ohm speaker safely (8 divided by 2 = 4). Although much less common, you could also add one, or even two, 16 ohm cabinets: two 16 ohm cabinets in parallel have the same total impedance as one 8 ohm speaker.

than one cabinet, check all cable connections in the chain. If you then suspect that the problem may be a bad cable, you can use a 9 volt battery as a cable-tester. To do so, plug one end of the questionable cable into your speaker cabinet, and then touch the phone plug on the other end to the two terminals (+ and –) of the battery, contacting the tip and sleeve.
