POSITIONING YOUR REFERENCE SERIES SUBWOOFERKlipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music come alive. Typically, optimum performance will result if youplace your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers (Refer to figures 1 & 2). Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect upon the performance of your powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above, will increase the amount of bass output, while placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the room will decrease the amount of bass output. Experiment with a number of different placement options and control settings to find the one that best suits your particular room and taste. When choosing your subwoofers location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofers built in amplifier to an ACpower outlet. The RT series of powered subwoofers feature Adaptive Room Correction™ This patent pending technology will identify themajor acoustic anomalies in the low frequency range of your listening rooms acoustics and compensate for them automati cally. While the corrected response may at first sound like a reduction in bass quantity, the benefit is a much higher quality bass reproduction featuring audibly faster transient response and more noticeable extension of extremely low frequency program material. (See the Room Correction section of this manual). CONNECTIONSCAUTION: Turn off your amplifier and your subwoofer before making any connections! LINE IN Your Klipsch Reference RT powered subwoofer is connected via line level connections only. Use the Subwoofer, LFE or Pre amp outputs of your systems electronics to connect to the LINE IN input connections of your subwoofer. Use high quality, shielded, line level cables for these connections(refer to Figure 3). LINE OUT – This pair of jacks can be used as an alternate method of connecting a second subwoofer to your system. Use high quality, shielded, line level cables for these connections.

in the selected preset the display will read Preset Empty. From this screen press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings. EQ Mode: This screen is used to select two different Bass emphasis settings, titled Punch and Depth. They are designed to complement different types of program material, such as movie soundtracks or music. The Punch setting emphasizes the 55Hz region while the Depth setting boosts the 30Hz range. A third setting is titled Flat which defeats these two settings. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to select the desired EQ setting. From this screen press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings. Room Correction On / Off Lowpass – This screen is used to adjust the subwoofers upper frequency limit to achieve a proper blend with your sys tems main speakers. A higher frequency (Hz) is typically used with smaller, bass limited main speakers and a lower frequency setting is customarily used with larger floorstanding models. This filter can be adjusted from 40Hz to 120Hz, as required, or defeated if the low pass filter function is being performed by your systems electronics. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the lowpass filter. To defeat this filter press and hold the Right cursor key until Lowpass OFF LFE Mode is displayed. Refer to your surround processors owners manual for more Bass Management information. From this screen press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings. Lowpass Slope This screen is used to adjust how aggres sively the subwoofer rejects frequencies above the low pass filters setting. This screen is not visible if the Lowpass filter above is set to Lowpass OFF LFE Mode. There are four settings to choose from; 18, 24, 36 & 48 dB/Octave. The higher thenumber the more the upper frequencies are removed from the subwoofers output. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to select the desired filter slope. Start with either the 24 or 36dB/Octave setting and adjust from there if required. Adjustment of thisparameter can help to optimize the acoustic blend with your main speakers. The proper setting will depend on room acoustics, your main speakers performance and the placement of the speakers and subwoofer in the room. From this screen press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings. CONTROLSAll of the subwoofers controls, and changes to control settings, are accessed through the cursor key pad and display on the top of the subwoofers cabinet. The only exception to this is the main AC power switch which is located on the rear panel of the sub woofer. - Use the (UP) or (Down) key to scroll through the list of control options. - Use the (Left) or (Right) Key to make adjustments to a given control setting - Use (Enter Key) when the appears on the display to store and recall custom settings or to lock the keypad - After adjusting the individual control parameters for Volume, EQ Mode, Lowpass, Lowpass Slope and Phase,your settings can be stored in one of Five user memories (Movie, Music, Night, User 1 and User 2). This allows for global recall of all of the above settings to tailor the subwoofers performance to compensate for differing source material and uses. - The display backlighting will turn off if no keypad inputs are made for 10 seconds. - The display will return to the Volume screen if no keypad inputs are made 10 for seconds. - If the display is in standby mode, the initial button press will turn on the display backlighting. The second button press will initiate a control adjustment or the selection of another mode. - In periods of low humidity, it is possible that a static electricity discharge to the subwoofer may cause a momentary interruption in the subwoofers output or changes to the LCD display content. Any display content errors will be corrected when the screen changes modes. Volume – Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the sub woofers volume level to match the output of your main speak ers. Press and hold (or press and release) the Left cursor key to decrease the subwoofers volume. Press and hold (or press and release) the Right cursor key to increase the subwoofers volume to the desired level. From this screen press the down cursor keyto access other control settings.
