1. LOW PASS HZ control should initially be set near 100H zZ HIGH PASS SELECT KSW 15 ONLY This switch selects either 50Hz or 100H z as the bass cutoff frequency for your main speakers when using line level connections Refer to Figure C This requires that your KSW 15 be connected to a system utilizing both the preamp output and the power amp input jacks Typically the higher 100H z setting is used for smaller bookshelf speakers to relieve them of the strain of reproducing loud deep bass frequencies The 50H z setting is typically selected for larger floorstanding speakers as they are better able to handle bass energy needing reinforcement only at the lowest frequencies The subwoofer s high pass filter has a gentle cutoff so there is still some audible signal content in your main speakers below the circuit s cutoff frequency POWER ALL MODELS This switch has conventional power ON and OFF positions as well as an automatic setting In the AUTO position the subwoofer will turn itself on when it receives a signal from your system If no signal is sent for a period of 15 minutes the sub will turn itself off A red power light indicates a standby mode in which the amplifier will turn on when it senses a signal Green indicates the sub woofer is on and receiving a signal PHASE ALL MODELS This switch is used to reverse the polarity phase of the subwoofer relative to y2. 9 Heat N ever locate the device near heat sources such as a radiator floor register stove or other heat generating device 10 Power Supply The device should only be connected to a power supply of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the device 1 m Polarization This product is equipped with a polarized line plug that has one blade wider than the other To prevent electrical shock match the wide blade of the plug with the wide blade slot of the receptacle and insert fully 1 N Power Cord Protection Power cables should be routed so they are unlikely to be stepped on or crushed by items placed on or against them Pay special attention to where the plug enters a socket or fused strip and to where the cord enters the device 13 Cleaning The device should be cleaned in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions 14 Periods of N on U se The device should be unplugged from the wall outlet when it is not in use for extended periods Cut along dotted line and mail IF YOU PREFER YOU CAN NOW REGISTER ONLINE AT WWW KLIPSCH COM For multiple speaker purchases please fill out only one warranty card Name Street Address City State Zip Home Phone Work Phone E mail Address Would you like to receive the latest product updates and news via email Llyes No Product Purchase M odel and serial number must be included to honor your warranty card F
