4.1 Plassering av subwoofer

For optimal performance and bass response, it is recommended to place your Klipsch Sub-120 subwoofer in a corner of the room. Corner placement utilizes the room's acoustics to enhance bass output and provide a more immersive audio experience.

4.2 Tilkoblinger

The Klipsch Sub-120 offers flexible connection options to integrate with almost any AV receiver or stereo system.

  • LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) Input: For receivers with a dedicated subwoofer output (LFE or SUB OUT), connect a single RCA cable from the receiver's subwoofer output to the LFE input on the subwoofer. This is the recommended connection for home theater systems.
  • Line In (Stereo RCA Inputs): If your receiver does not have an LFE output, connect stereo RCA cables from your receiver's pre-out (left and right) to the corresponding Line In (L/R) inputs on the subwoofer.

5.1 kontroller overview

  • GAIN (Volume) Control: Justerer det totale utgangsnivået til subwooferen. Start med en lav innstilling og øk gradvis til bassen blander seg sømløst med hovedhøyttalerne.
  • LOW-PASS (Crossover) Control: This knob sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. Frequencies above this setting will not be reproduced by the subwoofer. Adjust this to match the low-frequency capabilities of your main speakers. A common starting point is 80Hz, but it can be adjusted between 40Hz and 120Hz.
  • PHASE Switch (0°/180°): This switch adjusts the phase of the subwoofer's output relative to your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the one that provides the most impactful and coherent bass response in your listening position.
  • ON/AUTO/OFF Switch:
    • PÅ: Subwooferen forblir påslått kontinuerlig.
    • BIL: Subwooferen slår seg automatisk på når et lydsignal oppdages, og går inn i standby-modus etter en periode med inaktivitet.
    • AV: The subwoofer is powered off.
