Frequently Asked Questions - IC-SW-8T KLIPSCH

How do I connect the IC-SW-8T subwoofer to my receiver?
Use the LFE RCA input for a dedicated subwoofer output on your receiver. Alternatively, connect to speaker level inputs using the provided wiring.
What is the recommended placement for the IC-SW-8T?
The subwoofer is designed for in-wall installation. Place it in a wall cavity, ideally near the front of the room for optimal bass response. Avoid corners if possible to reduce boominess.
Can I paint the grille to match my wall?
Yes, the included grille is white and paintable. Use a thin coat of spray paint or brush to match your wall color. Ensure the grille is dry before installing.
How do I adjust the crossover frequency?
The subwoofer has a built-in low-pass crossover adjustable from 40-120 Hz. Set it to match your main speakers' cutoff. Typically, around 80 Hz works well.
What is the power requirement?
The subwoofer requires a 120V/60Hz AC power source. It cannot be battery powered. If installed in wall, hardwiring by an electrician is recommended.
How do I clean the subwoofer?
Dust the grille and surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or harsh chemicals. For the driver, gently vacuum using a brush attachment.
Can I use this subwoofer outdoors?
No, the IC-SW-8T is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures may damage the electronics.
What if the subwoofer stops producing sound?
Check the power connection and ensure the receiver is sending a signal. Verify the internal amplifier fuse. If still no sound, contact Klipsch support for amplifier module replacement.
Is the subwoofer compatible with a 70V distributed audio system?
No, the IC-SW-8T is a direct-powered subwoofer and not designed for 70V systems. It requires a standard amplifier or receiver with subwoofer output.
Can I install the subwoofer in a ceiling?
The IC-SW-8T is intended for in-wall installation. Ceiling installation may affect bass performance and is not recommended.

IC-SW-8T SUBWOOFER

Thank you for purc ha sin g your

Klipsch IC-SW-8T in-ceiling subwoofer.

The IC-SW-8T in-ceiling speaker is designed for music reinforcement applications. Unobtrusive, these loudspeakers are engineered for easy, versatile installation.

The IC-SW-8T features a transformer-less design for 70.7V/100V distributed-line systems. Some of the benefits of this design are: Elimination of transformer saturation at high output levels, elimination of transformer insertion losses, improved bandwidth (particularly at low frequencies), and improves power transfer to the loudspeaker at low frequencies. For applications where 4 ohm mono or 8 ohm stereo operation is required, the mode of operation can be selected by using an optional connection located on the back input terminal and by properly setting the rotary switch located under the grill.

Before installing your speakers take a moment to check the contents of the cartons and make sure nothing has been damaged in transit.

Installation Guidelines

The IC-SW-8T includes a tilebridge for use when installing the loudspeaker into suspended ceilings or wherever additional reinforcement of the ceiling material is required. The tilebridge and loudspeaker are designed such that installation may be accomplished where access above the ceiling is not possible or may be difficult.

Installation

  1. The tilebridge is composed of three parts—a reinforcement ring and two rails. The two rails should be attached to the reinforcement ring using the two included screws as shown below.

Caution: Be sure to comply with any and all building codes in your area.

  1. To install your IC-SW-8T cut out a hole in the ceiling using either the cardboard cutout template provided with your speakers or consult the measurements below. Pull wiring through hole.

  1. To install the tilebridge, fold the rail side of the ring back upon itself using the spring tensioner on the reinforcement ring to allow insertion into the cutout hole. Once it is inserted into the cutout hole, release the reinforcement ring such that it unfolds back to its normal position. Position tilebridge over cutout hole.

  1. The wiring compartment is intended as a termination point for the audio circuit. Access to this compartment is gained by removing the terminal cover located on the back of the speaker. The terminal cover will accept the appropriate conduit/wire adapter (provided). Feed wires through conduit/wire adapter and connect to the input terminal according to the desired operation mode. Be sure to observe proper polarity. Replace the terminal cover and tighten the conduit/wire adapter to secure the wire.

Caution: When connecting 70V or 100V distributed line systems, take care to ensure proper terminal connection. Connection to the low impedance terminal could result in speaker damage, amplifier damage, or both.

  1. Insert the speaker into the cutout hole. With a #2 Phillips screw-driver, tighten the four dog clamps until they are seated securely against the ceiling surface. Do not overtighten.

  1. For installations using 70V/100v input connection, set the switch on the front panel to "70V/100V".

For low impedance, stereo applications, the switch should be set to 8 ohms stereo.

For low impedance, mono applications, the switch should be set to 4 ohm mono.

In all cases, please make sure the speaker wires are connected to the appropriate terminal on the back.

  1. Using the flat of your hand, insert grille into speaker frame making sure it is securely seated and flush.

Seis mic Tab

A seismic tab, located on the back of the speaker, is used as a secondary security point. Some construction codes may require its use. To utilize the seismic tab, run a support wire from a secure point in the ceiling and attach it to the tab. Be sure to consult the construction codes in your area. Klipsch recommends the use of this tab in all installations as a secondary means of support.
