INSPECTION
We want your new Klipsch product to look as good as it did
leaving the factory! Please check promptly for any transit
damage. Carefully unpack your new speaker system and verify
the components against the packing list. In extreme circum-
stances, items may have become damaged in transit. If any
damage is discovered, notify the delivery service and dealer
where the system was purchased. Make a request for
inspection, and follow their instructions for evaluation. Be sure
to keep the product’s original shipping carton.
POSITIONING YOUR REFERENCE SERIES SUBWOOFER
Klipsch 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 you
place 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 subwoofer’s location, keep in mind that you will
need to connect the subwoofer’s built-in amplifier to an AC
power outlet.
The RT series of powered subwoofers feature “Adaptive Room
Correction™” This patent pending technology will identify the
major acoustic anomalies in the low frequency range of your
listening room’s 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).
CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: 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 system’s 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.
