Types of Connections
Your subwoofer may be installed using either “SPEAKER LEVEL” or “LINE LEVEL” connections;
both are not required. The LFE connection, however, is an optional line level connection that can be
used in conjunction with either type of hookup. Refer to the “LFE/BYPASS IN” and “BASS MAN-
AGEMENT” sections for more detail. You can connect the subwoofer so that your main speakers
will reproduce a full range signal or a limited range (bass filtered) signal. Speaker level connections
are used when connecting to a receiver or integrated amplifier that lacks line level subwoofer or pre-
amp output jacks. Line level connections are often the best choice when connecting the subwoofer to
a pre-amp/processor and power amplifier or integrated amplifier that possesses main channel pre-amp
or subwoofer outputs. The type of connection used depends upon the capabilities of your equipment
and your performance goals.
Speaker Level Connections
MAIN SPEAKERS FULL RANGE
Connect your main speakers and the left/right “SPEAKER IN” terminals of the subwoofer to the
corresponding main speaker outputs of your receiver/amplifier. Refer to the righthand side of Figure A.
If your electronics are so equipped, the subwoofer could be connected separately to the
receiver/amplifier’s speaker “B” outputs. If the subwoofer is located closer to your main speakers
than your electronics, you can connect the main speakers to the “SPEAKER IN” terminals of the
subwoofer and connect only the subwoofer to the receiver/amplifier as described above. Please consult
your dealer for details regarding connection of multiple speaker cables to a common set of speaker
outputs. For optimum performance, use equal lengths (left and right inputs) of the same high quality
speaker cable that you are using to connect your main speakers. Consult your Klipsch dealer for spe-
cific recommendations. Refer to “About Speaker Wire Connections” for more detail.
MAIN SPEAKERS LIMITED RANGE
If a bass limited signal will be sent to your main speakers, connect them to the “SPEAKER OUT”
terminals on the subwoofer instead of to your amplifier. Refer to the righthand side of Figure B.
The high pass filter on these outputs will remove the bass frequencies below 100Hz from your main
speakers, lowering distortion and increasing dynamic range. Refer to the “LOW PASS” section for
more detail.
Note: Do not connect another subwoofer to these outputs as they are high pass filtered (bass
frequencies removed).
About Speaker Wire Connections
Be sure to observe proper polarity when making connections between the subwoofer and the amplifier
(+ to + and - to -). If the polarity of one of these wires is reversed, the output of the subwoofer will
be diminished. Most speaker wire is color-coded or has some distinguishing feature differentiating the
two conductors. Speaker wire connectors on most loudspeakers and amplifiers are also color-coded.
Typically, RED is positive (+) and BLACK is negative (-), or ground. It does not matter which wire
conductor is connected to the positive or negative terminals of your equipment as long as
you are
consistent. Be sure that the connections from the amplifier to all of the speakers in your system
are con-
nected in a like manner. If this is not done, the quantity of bass will be reduced and the stereo image
will be compromised. Be careful to avoid excess bare wire or loose strands of wire at the connections.
This could cause a shorting condition between adjacent positive and negative terminals that could
damage your equipment.
Line Level Connections
These connections should be made using high quality shielded interconnect cables terminated with
RCA phono plugs. These cables should be as short as possible and kept away from noise generating
electrical equipment such as digital electronics or electric motors. Consult your Klipsch dealer for
specific cable recommendations.
