Frequently Asked Questions - R101SW KLIPSCH

Where to place my Klipsch R101SW subwoofer?

For optimal bass, place it in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front speakers. Try different positions to adjust the bass level.

How to connect the subwoofer to a receiver?

Use an RCA cable to connect the Sub Out output of your receiver to the LEFT/LFE input of the subwoofer. If no sub output is available, connect the left/right preamp outputs to the L/LFE and R inputs.

What does the phase control (0/180°) mean?

It adjusts acoustic coherence between the subwoofer and the main speakers. Select the position (0° or 180°) where the bass level is strongest at your listening position.

How to adjust the low-pass filter frequency?

Turn the Lowpass knob between 50 and 160 Hz. For floorstanding speakers, choose 50-90 Hz; for bookshelf/satellite speakers, 90-150 Hz. Adjust for a smooth transition.

The light does not turn on, what to do?

Check that the power switch is set to Auto or On and that the subwoofer is plugged in. The green light indicates power-on. If it remains off, check the power outlet.

How to clean my subwoofer?

Use a dry cloth or a vacuum brush to remove dust. Avoid any abrasive products, solvents, or harsh detergents.

Can I use the subwoofer without a surround receiver?

Yes, connect the left/right preamp outputs of your amplifier to the L/LFE and R inputs of the subwoofer. Adjust the gain directly on the subwoofer.

What to do if the subwoofer does not turn on automatically?

Make sure the switch is set to Auto. Check that the input signal is sufficient. Otherwise, switch to On mode for continuous operation.

How to register my Klipsch product?

Go to www.klipsch.com/register to register your subwoofer. Stay informed about new products and promotions.

Is the power cable included?

Yes, a mains power cable is included. Plug it into a standard wall outlet. For any replacement, contact Klipsch support.

INSPECTION

We want your new speaker system to look as good as it did leaving the factory! Please check promptly for any transit damage. Carefully unpack your new speaker system and verify the components against the packing list. In extreme circumstances, items may have become

damaged in transit. If any damage is discovered, notify the delivery service and dealer where the system was purchased. Make a request for inspection, and follow their instructions for evaluation. Be sure to keep the product's original shipping carton.

POSITIONING YOUR REFERENCE 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 Figure 1). Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect on 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 subwoofer's location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofer's built-in amplifier to an AC power outlet.

CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS

CAUTION: Ensure that the subwoofer is unplugged from the AC wall outlet before making any connections.

"LINE IN" Connection - Most of today's surround receivers (and pre-amplifiers) have a line level subwoofer output labeled Subwoofer Pre Out, Sub Out, SW Out, etc. If you have this output, connect one end of a subwoofer cable to it and connect the other end of the cable into the subwoofer line input labeled LEFT/LFE. This connection allows the subwoofer to operate with both music and surround sound movies (refer to your receiver manual). In absence of a subwoofer output on your receiver, as an alternative hookup, you can connect Left and Right channel Pre-Amp Outputs from your receiver (if provided) to the Left/LFE and Right input on the subwoofer.

"LOWPASS" Control - The crossover point chosen determines where low bass frequencies are "handed off" from the speakers to the subwoofer. If setting the crossover point in the receiver, turn the Lowpass Filter knob on the subwoofer to the farthest point right (160Hz). Set the crossover point based on the size of the main left/right speakers you are using in the system. As a general rule, for larger, floorstanding speakers, set the crossover point between 50Hz-90Hz. If using small bookshelf or "satellite" speakers for the mains, set the crossover point between 90Hz-150Hz. The smaller the speaker, the higher the setting until the bass frequencies blend well between the speakers and your subwoofer once your system is completely hooked up. If your receiver does not have a crossover point setting, set the Lowpass Filter on the subwoofer instead within the same recommended settings (see receiver manual for additional speaker setup info).

Level - If your subwoofer is connected to a Subwoofer Output of a surround receiver, first set the subwoofer volume level control in the receiver to the "half way" or "0 dB" position. Then increase the volume (or gain) of the subwoofer up until the subwoofer's volume level matches the output of your main speakers. After this setup is completed, the volume control on your system's main amplifier or pre-amplifier will be the volume control for both your subwoofer and speakers together. If your subwoofer is connected to the L/R Pre-Amp Outputs of a receiver there will be no subwoofer volume in that receiver to set before setting the subwoofer's gain control.

"PHASE" 0/180 - This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer's output to your main speakers. Select the position either 0^ or 180^ in which your subwoofer has more output at the listening position.

Off/Auto/On - When this switch is in the "AUTO" position, the subwoofer will automatically turn "on" when it senses a signal. It will automatically go into "standby mode" after 15-20 minutes with no signal. When the switch is set to the "On" position, the subwoofer will remain on until manually switched to another settings. When this switch is in the "OFF" position, the subwoofer will remain "off" until the switch is manually turned back to the "AUTO" or "ON" position.

Power LED indicator - Located on the front baffle, this LED indicates the operating status of the built-in amplifier. The LED will light green when the amplifier is on and receiving a signal. If the LED is dark and not lit, the amplifier is off. For more information on the controls mentioned in this manual and on bass management, see your dealer or visit www.klipsch.com

CARE AND CLEANING

Your subwoofer has a durable vinyl finish that should only require dry dusting or cleaning with a dry cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive or solvent-based cleaners and harsh detergents. The brush attachment of your vacuum should remove any dust from your subwoofer enclosure.
