The KSW models provide more powerful amplifiers, all-new driver designs and greater ease of use, making them an incredible value. [. . . ] The information in this channel can be up to 10 decibels louder than the bass signals in other channels, so caution should be exercised when initially adjusting the subwoofer's level control. The "LFE IN"/"SUB" input and "LINE IN" inputs are summed together so both connections may be used concurrently if your electronics provide you with both outputs. Refer to Figures B, C and D(pages 8 and 9). 4 Figure C KSW 300 INPUT PANEL · Main Speakers, Limited Range / Line Level Connections · One Channel Shown / Repeat for Opposite Channel · Optional LFE Connection Shown · Separate Pre-amp and Power Amp Shown / Integrated Components Require Pre-amp Outputs and Main Amp Inputs Figure D KSW 100, 150, 200 INPUT PANEL · Main Speakers, Full Range / Line Level Connections · One Channel Shown / Repeat for Opposite Channel · Optional LFE Connection Shown · Separate Pre-amp and Power Amp Shown / Integrated Components Require Pre-amp or Subwoofer Outputs 9 HIGH PASS This switch selects either "40 Hz" or "80 Hz" as the high pass filter frequency for your main speakers when your system is connected as per figure C (page 9). To access the fuse, use the appropriate screwdriver to unscrew the flush cap on the fuse receptacle. If the fuse is blown (the filament inside the glass tube is burned through), replace it with the same type and value printed on the amplifier panel next to the fuse holder (or refer to the chart below). If the fuse blows again when the subwoofer is powered up, return the unit to your authorized Klipsch dealer for servicing by qualified personnel.

If they run for extended periods beyond their designated power rating, the thermal sensor will engage and shut down the subwoofer. If this occurs, turn the "POWER" switch off, reduce the volume level on your electronics and wait five minutes before restarting the system. · If the "HI LEVEL" connections are in use, a polarity reversal of one of the speaker wires coming from your amplifier will result in diminished output from the subwoofer. · If you experience a noticeable hum when the subwoofer is connected to your system, try installing a three-to-two prong AC adapter on the subwoofer's power cord. If the hum persists and your audio system is connected to your video equipment, which in turn is connected to a cable television line, disconnect the cable line from the video equipment. If the hum disappears, consult your Klipsch dealer for a ground isolator for the cable line. · If you connect the subwoofer to a second set of speaker terminals (i. e. speaker B), and there is a dramatic loss of volume from your main speakers, the two sets of main speaker terminals on your receiver are wired in series. In this case, another type of hookup should be attempted, such as hooking the subwoofer to the same terminals as your main speakers or using line level connections as per Figure D (page 9). If you are still experiencing difficulties, consult your authorized Klipsch dealer. 7 Figure A KSW 50 INPUT PANEL · Main Speakers, Full Range / Hi Level Connections · One Channel Shown / Repeat for Other Channel Figure B KSW 100, 150, 200 INPUT PANEL · Main Speakers, Limited Range / Hi Level Connections · One Channel Shown / Repeat for Opposite Channel · Optional LFE Connection Shown · Integrated Receiver Shown / With Separate Use LFE Output on Pre-amp and Speaker Output on Power Amp. 8 A combination of "HI LEVEL" and "LFE IN"/"SUB" inputs may be used. For example, if you connect your KSW subwoofer to electronics possessing an LFE output, you could use a speaker cable to connect to the "HI LEVEL IN" speaker wire terminals and a shielded interconnect cable to connect to the "LFE IN"/"SUB" input. Refer to Figure B (page 8). ! CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE "LINE IN" AND "HI LEVEL" INPUTS SIMULTANEOUSLY!"LFE IN"/"SUB" INPUTS MAY BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH THE "HI LEVEL" INPUTS. Operating Controls LOW PASS CONTROL The "LOW PASS" control is a variable filter that controls the upper frequency limit of the subwoofer. The filter is continuously variable from 40 to 120 Hz (40 to 140 Hz, KSW 50). Proper adjustment of this control helps smooth the transition in the bass frequencies between your main speakers and the subwoofer. In situations where the main speakers are being sent a high pass filtered signal (bass frequencies removed), the subwoofer's low pass control should initially be set near the frequency where your main speakers are being filtered. [. . . ] Note: Avoid extremely long extension cords of small gauge since they can reduce the amount of current available to the subwoofer amplifier, degrading its performance and presenting a potential fire hazard. Types of Connections Your subwoofer may be installed using either the "HI LEVEL" or "LINE" connections, but not both. With both types of connections, your main speakers can be run full range or high pass filtered (bass frequencies removed). Your main speakers can be bass filtered by your KSW Series subwoofer if connected in a specific manner. Refer to Figures B and C (pages 8 and 9) and the "HI LEVEL OUT, " "LINE OUT, " "LOW PASS" and "HIGH PASS" sections for more detail. [. . . ]
