INSPECTIONWe want your new speaker system to look as good as it did
leaving the factory! Please check promptly for any transit
damage. Carefully unpack your new speaker system and verify
the components against the packing list. In extreme circum
stances, items may have become damaged in transit. If any
damage is discovered, notify the delivery service and dealer
where the system was purchased. Make a request for
inspection, and follow their instructions for evaluation. Be sure
to keep the products original shipping carton.
POSITIONING YOUR REFERENCE SERIES SUBWOOFERKlipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep
bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music
come alive. Typically, optimum performance will result if youplace your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall
as your front channel speakers (Refer to figures 1 & 2). Please
note that room placement can have a dramatic effect upon the
performance of your powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as
suggested above, will increase the amount of bass output, while
placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the
room will decrease the amount of bass output. Experiment with a
number of different placement options and control settings to
find the one that best suits your particular room and taste. When
choosing your subwoofers location, keep in mind that you will
need to connect the subwoofers built in amplifier to an ACpower outlet.
CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLSCAUTION: Turn off your amplifier and your subwoofer before
making any connections. Do not connect both the High
Level and Line Level inputs at the same time as damage
to your equipment could result.
RW 10d / RW 12d / RSW 10d
LINE IN
This input is designed as the standard or default
input for the subwoofer. It accepts signals from the Left and
Right channel pre amp, subwoofer or LFE outputs of your elec
tronics via the RCA jack inputs. Connect to the RIGHT and/or
LEFT/LFE inputs on the subwoofers rear panel (Refer to figures 3 and 5).

RW 10d / RW 12d
HIGH LEVEL IN These connections can be used as an
alternate connection method to the line level hook up. Using
16 gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the Red positive (+)
terminal of your amplifiers Left channel to the Red positive (+)
terminal of your subwoofers Left channel HIGH LEVEL IN
terminal. Connect the Black negative ( ) terminal of your ampli
fiers Left channel to the Black negative ( ) of your subwoofers
Left channel HIGH LEVEL IN terminal. Repeat this procedure for
the Right channel connections (refer to Figure 4). Take care that
no bare wires from any of the connections can touch any of the
other terminals as damage to your equipment could result.
CONTROLSAll of the subwoofers controls, and changes to control settings,
are accessed through the cursor key pad and display on the top
of the subwoofers cabinet. The only exception to this is the main
AC power switch which is located on the rear panel of the
subwoofer.
- Use the (UP) or (Down) key to scroll through the list of
control options.
- Use the (Left) or (Right) Key to make adjustments to a
given control setting
- Use (IE Center Key) when the appears on the display
to store and recall custom settings or to lock the keypad
- After adjusting the individual control parameters for Volume,
EQ Mode, Low pass filter and Phase, your settings can
be stored in one of three user memories (Movie, Music
and Night). This allows for global recall of all of the above
settings to tailor the subwoofers performance to compensate
for differing source material and uses.
- The display will return to the Volume screen after 10
seconds if no adjustments are made while in any other control
or display mode.
- In periods of low humidity, it is possible that a static electricity
discharge to the subwoofer may cause a momentary interruption in the subwoofers output or changes to the LCD
display content. Any display content errors will be corrected when the screen changes modes.
Volume Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the
subwoofers volume level to match the output of your main
speakers. The volume control on your systems main amplifier
or pre amplifier will be the overall volume control for your
subwoofer and full range speakers. Press and hold (or press and
release) the Left cursor key to decrease the subwoofers volume.
Press and hold (or press and release) the Right cursor key toincrease the subwoofers volume to the desired level. From
this screen press the down cursor key to access other controlsettings.
Recall Settings: This screen is used to select any one of
three, user defined, memory presets titled Movie, Music and
Night. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to select the desired
group of stored control settings and press the Center key to
apply them. Settings Recalled! will then be displayed. All of the
user settings, in the three memory presets, can be erased and
restored to their default values by scrolling down to the last
System Info screen. Press the Right cursor key twice to get to
the System Reset screen. Press the center cursor key and all
user settings will be replaced with the default settings. Reset
Complete will be displayed. During initial setup, skip this screen
until all other initial control adjustments have been made. From
this screen press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings.
EQ Mode: This screen is used to select two different Bass
emphasis settings, titled Punch and Depth. They are designed
to complement different types of program material, such as
movie soundtracks or music. The Punch setting emphasizes the
60Hz region while the Depth setting boosts the 30Hz range. A
third setting is titled Flat which defeats these two settings. Use
of either of these EQ settings will slightly reduce the subwoofers
maximum output capability as they will require more of the
subwoofers amplifier power. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to
select the desired EQ setting. From this screen press the down
or up cursor key to access other control settings.
Lowpass This screen is used to adjust the subwoofers
upper frequency limit to achieve a proper blend with your
systems main speakers. A higher frequency (Hz) is typically used
with smaller, bass limited main speakers and a lower frequency
setting is customarily used with larger floorstanding models. This
filter can be adjusted from 40Hz to 120Hz, as required, or
defeated if the low pass filter function is being performed by your
systems electronics. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the
lowpass filter. To defeat this filter press and hold the Right cursor
key until Lowpass OFF LFE Mode is displayed. Refer to your
surround processors owners manual for more Bass
Management information. From this screen press the down
or up cursor key to access other control settings.
Phase This screen is used to adjust the subwoofers acoustic
phase to match that of your main speakers. Use the Left/Right
cursor keys to adjust the subwoofers phase from 0° to 180°.
The proper setting of this control is highly dependant on room
acoustics and the position of your subwoofer in the room. Aftersetting the volume and lowpass controls set the phase to 0˚ and
listen to a recording with a prominent, repeating bass line in your
intended listening position. Repeat this process with the 180°
setting and use the setting that yields the greatest amount of
bass output. If neither of these settings is better than the other
