Also refer to the "LOW PASS" section for more detail. Note: Do not connect another subwoofer to these outputs as they are high pass filtered (bass frequencies removed). ! ABOUT SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTIONS When making any type of speaker wire connection be sure to observe proper polarity (+ to + and to -). If the polarity of one of the subwoofer input wires is reversed, the output of the subwoofer will be diminished. Most speaker wire is color-coded or has some distinguishing feature differentiating the two conductors. Speaker wire connectors on most loudspeakers and amplifiers are also colorcoded. Typically, RED is positive (+) and BLACK is negative (-), or ground. It does not matter which wire conductor is connected to the positive or negative connection of your equipment as long as you are consistent. Be sure that the connections from the amp to all of the speakers in your system are connected in a like manner. If this is not done, the quantity of bass will be reduced and the stereo image will be compromised. Be careful to avoid excess bare wire or loose strands of wire at the connections. This could cause a shorting condition between adjacent positive and negative terminals, damaging your speakers and amplifier. LINE LEVEL CONNECTIONS These connections should be made using high quality shielded interconnect cables terminated with RCA phono plugs. These cables should be as short as possible and kept away from noise generating electrical equipment such as digital electronics or electric motors. Consult your Klipsch dealer for specific cable recommendations. "LINE IN" / ALL MODELS For best results, these jacks should be connected to a non-filtered (full-range) subwoofer or main channel pre-amp output on your receiver or pre-amp/processor. This input signal should contain the normal bass information present in the main left and right channels. When connecting to a component that has only a single pair of pre-amp outputs, "Y" adapters (splitters) may be used to feed a signal to both the subwoofer and the power amplifier. "LINE IN" / KSW 10 and 12 ONLY You can connect a mono subwoofer output on your electronics to the "L/LFE" input using a single interconnect cable. If there is an inadequate amount of subwoofer volume even with the level control set to maximum, add a "Y" cord to the subwoofer end of the cable and connect to both line inputs. This will provide a significant (6dB) increase in the subwoofer's output level. "LINE OUT" / KSW 15 ONLY If a bass limited (high pass filtered) signal is to be sent to your main speakers, connect the "LINE OUT" jacks on the subwoofer to the line level inputs on your main channel power amplifier.

There may be several options for placement of the subwoofer in your room that will effect its frequency response and output level. Corner placement improves the acoustic loading of the subwoofer, increasing its output and dynamic range capabilities. Placing the subwoofer away from walls or in the center of the room will result in the least amount of output. [. . . ] You may need to repeat this procedure if the subwoofer is repositioned. Troubleshooting · If your subwoofer has little or no output: -- Double check your power (AC) and system connections. -- Make sure that the "LEVEL" control is turned up. -- Make sure that the "POWER" switch on the rear control panel is in the "ON" or "AUTO" position. -- Ensure that the "POWER" light on the front of the cabinet is lit.
