User manual KLIPSCH SERIESII

[. . . ] The international symbol of a lightning bolt inside a triangle is intended to alert the user to uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the device enclosure. The international symbol of an exclamation point inside a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating, maintenance and servicing information in the manual accompanying the device. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. Read Instructions ­ All safety and operating instructions should be read before operating the device. [. . . ] On the subwoofer's back panel are three input/output minijack pairs: one green pair for left and right front channels (FRONT L/R) , a second black pair for left and right surround channels (REAR L/R), and a third orange pair for center channel and subwoofer (CENTER/SUB). If you have a twospeaker system, you will use only the first pair. If you have a three-piece speaker system, you will use the first pair, and if you have a 4. 1 system, you will use the second pair as well. If you have a 5. 1-channel speaker system, you will use all three pairs. FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 1. Unplug your multimedia speaker system from your computer's sound card or sound outputs, making careful note of which output jack is associated with each speaker connection. Usually the plugs and jacks will be color-coded GREEN for front left/right and BLACK for surrounds (rear), with the front jack directly above the surround jack on the back of the sound card. Placement and color coding of the jack used for center/subwoofer (center/bass) output, if any, varies from card to card; Klipsch uses ORANGE miniplugs and minijacks for this connection. Plug the cables from your speaker system into the corresponding OUTPUT minijacks on the SWS subwoofer's back panel. The cable for the front left and right speakers plugs into the GREEN OUTPUT jack. The cable for surround speakers (if any) plugs into the BLACK OUTPUT jack. The cable for a center speaker and a separate bass module (if any) plugs into the ORANGE OUTPUT jack. If the system has both subwoofer and preamp output jacks, use the subwoofer output. And if the subwoofer output is on an A/V receiver or amplifier, make sure you go into its bassmanagement setup menu and set Subwoofer to "On" or "Yes. " FIGURE 3 Caution: In actual use, stacking more than three units high is not recommended. P ro M e d i a ® S u b w o o f e r S y s t e m SWS Volume Control Connection (Fig. 5) The SWS comes with an external remote volumecontrol module for adjusting subwoofer level. You can place it wherever is convenient. Just run the cable from it back to the SWS and plug it into the back-panel minijack labeled VOLUME. In the passthrough configuration used with most multimedia speaker systems, the volume controls on the SWS and your main speakers are independent. That is, changing the volume on one does not affect the volume on the other. So if you change the volume set ting on the main speakers, you must readjust the SWS volume control as well in order to maintain the same tonal balance. For this reason, it is usually more convenient to use the SWS volume control only to adjust the balance between it and the main speakers and not to use the volume control on the main speakers at all once you have completed initial setup. Instead, use the software volume control in your computer's operating system as the master volume control. When the SWS is connected to a Klipsch ProMedia speaker with the SWS link output jack, to a TV set with variable-level audio output jacks, or to a home audio system, the volume-control module is used only to adjust the balance of bass from the SWS to higher sounds from the other speakers (see "Placement and Setup"). The volume control on your ProMedia speaker system, TV set, or audio system will function as a master volume control for the entire system. [. . . ] Not quite a free lunch, but certainly a very economical one. FIGURE 3 Warning Do not vertically stack more than three SWS units!
