Forbindelser
Connect your subwoofer to your audio receiver or amplifier using the appropriate inputs:
- LFE-input: For receivers with a dedicated Subwoofer/LFE output, connect a single RCA cable from the receiver's LFE output to the subwoofer's LFE input. This is the recommended connection for most home theater systems.
- Line Level Inputs (Left/Right): If your receiver does not have an LFE output, connect RCA cables from your receiver's stereo pre-out (left and right) to the subwoofer's Line Level inputs.
Once connected, plug the subwoofer's power cable into a wall outlet.
Betjeningskontrol
The Klipsch R-12SW features several controls on its rear panel to fine-tune its performance to your listening preferences and room acoustics.
Betjening på bagpanel
- Gain (Volume) Control: Adjusts the output level of the subwoofer. Start with a low setting and gradually increase until the bass blends seamlessly with your main speakers without overpowering them.
- Low Pass Crossover Control: Determines the highest frequency the subwoofer will reproduce. Adjust this to match the low-frequency capabilities of your main speakers. A common starting point is 80 Hz, but you may need to adjust it based on your speaker size and room.
- Fasekontrol (0°/180°): This switch helps to match the subwoofer's output phase with your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the one that provides the most impactful and coherent bass.
- Power Mode (On/Auto/Off):
- PÅ: Subwooferen forbliver konstant tændt.
- BIL: The subwoofer automatically turns on when it detects an audio signal and enters standby mode after a period of inactivity.
- OFF: Subwooferen er slukket.
Opretholdelse

Fejlfinding

- Ensure the subwoofer is plugged into a working power outlet and the power switch is set to ON or AUTO.
- Verify that the audio cables are securely connected to both the subwoofer and your receiver/amplivligere.
- Check your receiver's settings to ensure the subwoofer output is enabled and the volume is not muted.

- Adjust the Gain (Volume) control on the subwoofer to a lower setting.
- Adjust the Low Pass Crossover control. A lower setting may reduce boominess.
- Experiment with the Phase control (0°/180°).

- Sørg for, at alle lydkabler er korrekt afskærmede og ikke løber parallelt med strømkabler.
