4.1 Plassering av subwoofer

The Klipsch RP-1400SW features a front-firing driver and Aerofoil front slot port, allowing for flexible placement within your room. Experiment with different locations to find the optimal bass response for your listening environment. Generally, corner placement can enhance bass output, while placement along a wall can provide a more balanced sound. The shock-absorbing rubber feet help isolate the subwoofer from the floor.

Figure 4.3: Subwoofer Rear Panel Connections and Controls

1. Wired Connection (RCA/LFE):

   Connect an RCA cable from the LFE output of your AV receiver to the LFE input on the subwoofer's rear panel. If your receiver does not have an LFE output, use a standard RCA stereo cable to connect the receiver's pre-out (subwoofer output) to both the left and right RCA inputs on the subwoofer.

2. Wireless Connection (Optional WA-2 Kit):

   For wireless operation, you can connect your subwoofer with a Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit (sold separately). This allows for flexible placement without the need for long RCA cables. Refer to the WA-2 kit's instructions for pairing and setup.

5. Betjening av subwooferen

5.1 kontroller overview

The rear panel of your subwoofer features several controls to fine-tune its performance:

Figure 5.1: Easy-to-Use Controls on Rear Panel

• GAIN (Volume): Justerer utgangsnivået til subwooferen. Start med en lav innstilling og øk gradvis til bassen blander seg sømløst med hovedhøyttalerne.
• LOW-PASS (Crossover): This control sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. If using an AV receiver with LFE output, set this to LFE (or bypass if available on your receiver). If connecting via stereo RCA, adjust this to blend with your main speakers' low-frequency cutoff.
• FASE (0°/180°): Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer output relative to your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the one that provides the most impactful and coherent bass.
• POWER (ON/AUTO/OFF):
  • PÅ: Subwoofer remains continuously on.
  • BIL: Subwoofer automatically turns on when an audio signal is detected and enters a low-power standby mode after a period of inactivity.
  • AV: Subwooferen er slått av.

  The 1/2-watt standby mode in AUTO setting ensures exceptional efficiency and reduces energy costs.

5.2 Første gangs oppstart og justering

1. Sørg for at alle tilkoblinger er sikre.
2. Set the GAIN control to its minimum position.
3. Set the LOW-PASS control to LFE if using an AV receiver, or to a suitable frequency (e.g., 80Hz) if connecting via stereo RCA.
4. Set the PHASE switch to 0°.
5. Set the POWER switch to AUTO.
6. Play some audio with significant bass content. Gradually increase the GAIN control until the subwoofer output blends with your main speakers.
7. Experiment with the PHASE switch (0° vs. 180°) to determine which setting provides the most impactful and seamless bass response in your listening position.

For optimal performance, consider using your AV receiver's automatic room correction system (if available) after initial setup.
