Frequently Asked Questions - Reference Premiere RP1600SW KLIPSCH

How to connect my Klipsch Reference Premiere RP1600SW subwoofer?

Connect an RCA cable from the 'Subwoofer Pre Out' output of your receiver to the L/LFE input of the subwoofer. If your receiver does not have a dedicated output, use the preamplified left/right outputs of your receiver to the L/LFE and R inputs of the subwoofer.

How to adjust the low-pass filter (LOWPASS)?

Turn the LOWPASS knob of the subwoofer fully to the right (160 Hz) if your receiver manages the filtering. Otherwise, set between 50-90 Hz for floorstanding speakers, or 90-150 Hz for bookshelf speakers. The smaller the speaker, the higher the frequency should be.

What to do if the indicator light does not come on?

Check that the power cable is plugged in and that the POWER switch is set to ON or AUTO. If the light remains off, the amplifier is not powered. Contact customer service.

Can I use this subwoofer wirelessly?

Yes, optionally with the WA-2 module (sold separately). Plug it into the WA Port of the subwoofer. The WA-2 transmits the signal wirelessly up to 15 meters at 2.4 GHz.

Where to place the subwoofer for best performance?

Place the subwoofer in a corner of the room, on the same wall as your front speakers. This increases bass volume. Avoid placing it in the middle of a wall or room, as this reduces bass.

How to clean the subwoofer's vinyl finish?

Use a dry cloth to dust. For deeper cleaning, use the brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner. Do not use abrasive products, solvents, or harsh detergents.

How to register my Klipsch product?

Register it online at klipsch.com/register. This keeps you informed of new products and promotions. Keep your receipt for any warranty claims.

What does the green light on the subwoofer mean?

The green light indicates that the built-in amplifier is powered and receiving a signal. If it is off, the amplifier is unpowered or in standby.

How to adjust the phase (PHASE)?

The PHASE selector offers two positions: 0° and 180°. Choose the one that produces the highest bass level at your listening position. This adjusts the acoustic synchronization with your main speakers.

The subwoofer does not turn on automatically, what to do?

Make sure the POWER switch is set to AUTO. The subwoofer powers on upon signal detection and goes into standby after 15-20 minutes without signal. If the issue persists, check the connections or contact 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 PREMIERE 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 L/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 L/LFE and R inputs on the subwoofer.

WA-2 Port Connection - For wireless connectivity of your new Klipsch Reference Premiere subwoofer, the optional WA-2 Wireless subwoofer kit is available. The WA-2 will only operate with select Klipsch, Energy, Mirage and Jamo brand subwoofers that have a "WA Port" input. The WA-2 is a 2.4 GHz product designed to wirelessly transmit a signal up to a 50 foot radius. See klipsch.com for more details.

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.

"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).

"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.

"POWER" AUTO/ON/OFF -When this switch is in the "ON/AUTO/STANDBY" 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 this switch is in the "OFF" position, the subwoofer will remain "off" until the switch is manually turned back to the "ON/AUTO/STANDBY" 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.
