Subwoofer - Klipsch Reference Theater 5.1 Manuel Du Propriétaire

SPEAKER PLACEMENT IN LISTENING AREA

SUBWOOFER

CAUTION: Ensure that the subwoofer is unplugged from the AC wall outlet before making
any connections.
In the absence of a subwoofer output on your receiver, as an alternative hookup, you can
connect Left and Right channel Pre-Amp Outputs from your receiver (if provided) to the
Left/LFE and Right input on the subwoofer.
POWER LED
Located on the front baffle, this LED indicates the operating status of the built-in amplifier.
The LED will light green when the amplifier is on and receiving a signal. If the LED is dark
and not lit, the amplifier is off. For more information on the controls mentioned in this
manual and on bass management, see your dealer or visit www.klipsch.com
POWER SWITCH
When this switch is in the "ON/AUTO" position, the subwoofer will automatically turn "on"
when it senses a signal. It will automatically go into "standby mode" after 15-20 minutes
with no signal. When this switch is in the "OFF" position, the subwoofer will remain "off"
until the switch is manually turned back to the "ON/AUTO" position.
GAIN
If your subwoofer is connected to a Subwoofer Output of a surround receiver, first set
the subwoofer volume level control in the receiver to the "half way" or "0 dB" position.
Then increase the volume (or gain) of the subwoofer up until the subwoofer's volume level
matches the output of your main speakers. After this setup is completed, the volume
control on your system's main amplifier or pre-amplifier will be the volume control for both
your subwoofer and speakers together. If your subwoofer is connected to the L/R Pre-Amp
Outputs of a receiver there will be no subwoofer volume in that receiver to set before setting the
subwoofer's gain control.
LOWPASS (Hz)
The crossover point chosen determines where low bass frequencies are "handed off"
from the speakers to the subwoofer. If setting the crossover point in the receiver, turn
the Lowpass Filter knob on the subwoofer to the farthest point right (160Hz). Set the
crossover point based on the size of the main left/right speakers you are using in the
system. As a general rule, for larger, floorstanding speakers, set the crossover point
between 50Hz-90Hz. If using small bookshelf or "satellite" speakers for the mains, set
the crossover point between 90Hz-150Hz. The smaller the speaker, the higher the setting
until the bass frequencies blend well between the speakers and your subwoofer once your
system is completely hooked up. If your receiver does not have a crossover point setting,
set the Lowpass Filter on the subwoofer instead within the same recommended settings
(see receiver manual for additional speaker setup info).
PHASE
This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer's output to your main speakers.
Select the position either 0˚ or 180˚ in which your subwoofer has more output at the
listening position.
