Frequently Asked Questions - Reference R-112SW KLIPSCH

Where should I place my subwoofer for best performance?
To optimize bass, place the subwoofer in a corner of the room, on the same wall as your front speakers. Avoid placing it in the middle of the room as this reduces bass output. Try different positions to find the best sound.
How do I connect the subwoofer to my receiver?
Use an RCA cable to connect the Subwoofer Pre Out of your receiver to the LEFT/LFE input of the subwoofer. If your receiver doesn't have a dedicated output, connect the left and right preamp outputs to the L/LFE and R inputs of the subwoofer.
What does the 0° / 180° phase setting mean?
Phase synchronizes the subwoofer with your main speakers. Try both positions (0° and 180°) and choose the one where the sound is most powerful at your listening position.
How do I adjust the low pass filter?
Turn the LOWPASS knob according to the size of your main speakers. For floorstanding speakers, set between 50-90 Hz; for bookshelf speakers, between 90-150 Hz. If your receiver handles crossover, turn the knob fully clockwise (160 Hz).
How do I adjust the level (gain)?
First set the subwoofer volume to halfway, then adjust gain until the bass balances with your speakers. Use a music track or movie to test.
What does the POWER switch (ON/AUTO/OFF) do?
In ON position, the subwoofer stays on continuously. In AUTO, it turns on automatically when a signal is received and goes into standby after 15-20 minutes without signal. OFF turns off the subwoofer.
Can I use the subwoofer wirelessly?
Yes, with the optional WA-2 module (sold separately). Plug it into the WA Port of the subwoofer. It operates at 2.4 GHz with a range of 15 meters.
How do I clean my subwoofer?
Use a dry cloth or vacuum with a brush to remove dust. Avoid abrasive products, solvents, or harsh detergents.
Should I register my product?
Registration is not mandatory but recommended. Visit klipsch.com/register to stay informed about new products and promotions. Keep your receipt for warranty.
What if the power indicator does not light up?
Check that the subwoofer is plugged in and the POWER switch is set to ON or AUTO. If the LED remains off, try a different power outlet. If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.

How to adjust the KLIPSCH Reference R-112SW?
Frequently Asked Questions - 27 j
Response Notice-Facile

The KLIPSCH Reference R-112SW has several controls to adjust it to your setup:

  • Gain Control (LEVEL) - Adjust the subwoofer's volume level to match your main speakers. Start at the midpoint position, then gradually increase until the sound output from the subwoofer matches that of your main speakers.

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. Typically, optimum performance will result if you 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 upon 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.

WA-2 Port Connection - For wireless connectivity of your new Klipsch R-110SW, R-112SW, or R-115SW subwoofer, the optional WA-2 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 "O 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
