POSITIONING YOUR SYNERGY SERIES SUBWOOFER
Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that
makes your movies and music come alive. For optimum performance, place your subwoofer in a
corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers. (refer to Figures 1 and 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 AC power outlet.
CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS
Optimal Connections - Klipsch Synergy Powered subwoofers can be connected to the subwoofer
output of your electronics via the RCA jack inputs (LINE IN) on the subwoofers rear panel (refer
to Figure 3).This can be in place of the conventional speaker wire connections (HIGHLEVEL IN).
For more information on the controls mentioned in this manual and on bass management, see
your dealer or visit www.klipsch.com.Conventional Speaker Wire Connections - Using 16 gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the
RED positive (+) terminal of your amplifiers LEFT channel to the RED (+) terminal of your
subwoofers LEFT channel input (HIGH LEVEL IN). Connect the BLACK negative ( ) terminal of
your amplifiers LEFT channel to the BLACK negative ( ) terminal of your subwoofers LEFT
channel input (HIGH LEVEL IN). Repeat this procedure for connecting your amplifiers RIGHT
channel to your subwoofers RIGHT channel input (refer to Figure 4). Take care to make sure that
no bare wires from any of the connections touch any other terminals as this could cause a short
and damage your equipment.
HIGH
LEVEL OUT - This passes the HIGH LEVEL IN signal out to your left and right speakers
with frequencies below 100Hz removed.
LINE IN/LFE
- This input is filtered by the built in LOW PASS (LP) crossover and is designed as
a general purpose input f
or the subwoofer. It accepts the LFE signal output of your digital
surround electronics.
LOW P
ASS (LP) CROSSOVER - The crossover allows the user to select the upper frequency
cutoff of the subwoofer
. The frequency is selectable from 40 120Hz. Frequencies above the set
level are filtered out,
allowing you to blend the subwoofers output with that of your main speakers.
GAIN
- This control serves as an overall volume control for the subwoofer. It is used to match the
output level of the subwoofer to the main speakers.
PHASE 0/180 - This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofers output to your main
speakers. Select the position, either 0Λ or 180Λ, in which your subwoofer has more output at the
listening position.
POWER ON/OFF- In the ON position, the subwoofer will remain on constantly or can turn
on and off automatically when the AUTO/ON circuit is engaged (see AUTO/ON). In the
OFF position, the subwoofer will remain off until the switch is manually turned back to the
