SW TWELVE OVERVIEW
The AudioSource SW Twelve re p resents the state of the art in powered subwoofers. The highly efficient ported enclosure houses
a rugged twelve-inch, re i n f o rced driver, a powerful one hundred fifty-watt amplifier and an integral stereo crossover network.
This precision matched combination ensures the SW Twelve will deliver the best sound possible, under even the most demand-
ing conditions. Both crossover frequency and input level are variable over a wide range, allowing the SW Twelve to complement
a wide variety of systems. Line level and hi level inputs and outputs are provided for fast and easy connection to virtually any
system. The three-way auto power and phase reverse functions complete the generous list of features off e red by the SW Twelve.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT SUBWOOFERS
Subwoofers are designed to extend the bass response of your system beyond the limitations of most speakers. This unit is to
be used in conjunction with, not in place of, your existing left and right speakers. The low frequency sounds reproduced by
the subwoofer will radiate equally in all directions. It is not necessary to have a pair of subwoofers. A single subwoofer can
dramatically enhance a stereo TV, a stereo system, or a full fledged home theater.
The advent of digital re c o rding has increased the amount of low frequency information found on re c o rded material. Subwoofers
are designed to accurately reproduce this bass. Similarly, most movies intended for home viewing feature bass well below the
musical range of traditional loudspeakers. However, this information is vital to the impact, ambiance, and believability of a
scene. A subwoofer enhances those elements in your home theater.
