Carefully remove the subwoofer from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage during transit. Retain the original packaging for future transport or storage.

The placement of your subwoofer significantly impacts its performance. Experiment with different locations to find the optimal position in your listening area. Generally, placing the subwoofer in a corner can enhance bass output, but may also lead to 'boominess'. Placing it along a wall can provide a more balanced sound. Consider the following dimensions when planning placement:

Avoid placing the subwoofer directly against a wall or in a cabinet without adequate ventilation, as this can lead to overheating.

The R-115sw offers various connection options to integrate with your audio system. Ensure the subwoofer is powered off before making any connections.

• Line In (L/R): Use these RCA inputs to connect to the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) output or stereo pre-out of your receiver or processor. For a single LFE output, connect to the 'L' (left) input.
• WA Port: This port is compatible with the Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit (sold separately) for wireless connectivity, offering more flexible placement options.

The rear panel of the R-115sw features several controls to fine-tune its performance to your listening environment and preferences.

• GAIN (Volume) Knob: Adjusts the output level of the subwoofer. Start with a low setting and gradually increase until the bass blends seamlessly with your main speakers.
• LOW-PASS (Crossover) Knob: 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 80Hz-100Hz. If your receiver has a built-in crossover, set this knob to its highest setting (LFE).
• פאַזע סוויטש (0°/180°): This switch helps to acoustically match the subwoofer's output with your main speakers. Experiment with both settings to find the one that provides the most impactful and coherent bass.
• POWER Mode Switch (ON/AUTO/OFF):
  • אויף: The subwoofer remains continuously powered on.
  • אָטאַמאַטיק: The subwoofer automatically turns on when an audio signal is detected and enters standby mode after a period of inactivity.
  • OFF: דער סאַבוואָאָפער איז אויסגעלאָשן.
