FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

ADJUSTING THE FEET
The SW10 and SW12 are equipped with four adjustable spiked feet, pre-installed with large,
slip-on rubber covers. At the final placement location, adjust the feet/spikes as follows:
• On hard floors (e.g., wood, tile, etc.), check the SW10 and SW12's stability and, if
needed, adjust the rubber feet one at a time until the cabinet is level.
• On carpeted floors, tilt the SW10 and SW12 up and remove each rubber cover. Check
the SW10 and SW12's stability and, if needed, adjust the spikes one at a time until the
cabinet is level.
CONNECTING THE SW10 AND SW12
Connect the SW10 and SW12 according to your application (see APPLICATIONS on page 10). Use
high-quality RCA cables for all line-level connections (see CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS on
page 7). For applications with loudspeaker-level connections, perform the following steps:
1. At each SW10 and SW12 loudspeaker-level connection, separate the loudspeaker wire
so that at least 2 inches of each conductor are free. Strip away 1/4 inch of insulation
from each loudspeaker wire. Using correct polarity, connect the appropriate conductor
to each five-way, speaker level, input binding post.
NOTE: OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY: POSITIVE (+) GOES TO THE RED POST AND NEGATIVE
(–) GOES TO THE BLACK POST. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WIRE POLARITY, SEE THE SECTION,
CHECKING PHASE ON THE SATELLITE LOUDSPEAKERS, ON PAGE 14.
2. Connect the other end of the loudspeaker wires to the home theater receiver (or
amplifier) and satellite loudspeakers in the same way.
3. Using the five-way binding post of the SW10 and SW12, connect the loudspeaker
outputs to the appropriate satellite loudspeaker in the same way.
4. Turn on the home theater receiver and calibrate all loudspeakers in the system
according to the receiver (processor) manufacturer's instructions.
