200-Watt Powered Subwoofer

 with Remote

Your RCA PRO-SW200P 200-Watt 
Powered Subwoofer is designed to give 
you the best possible low-frequency sound 
for the ultimate home theater experience. 
You will be astonished by the realism it 
adds to movie sound effects and the power 
it lends to all kinds of music.

The subwoofer combines the power of a 
built-in 200-watt RMS amplifier with a 
responsive, 12-inch coated paper cone 
woofer — all housed in a ported bass-reflex 
enclosure to produce tight, floor-rumbling 
powerful bass (down to 36 Hz) that you 
can feel as well as hear!

The infrared remote control lets you 
regulate the subwoofer’s volume without 
interrupting your listening.

Your subwoofer has an adjustable high cut 
filter and high- and low-level inputs so it is 
easily incorporated into existing systems, 
or it can be an integral part of a subwoofer/
satellite combination. Its other features 
include:

Auto On/Off

 — automatically switches the 

subwoofer’s amplifier to standby if the 
subwoofer does not receive a signal for 8–11 
minutes.

Power Indicator

 — the red indicator on 

the subwoofer’s volume control lights 
when the amplifier receives an audio 
signal, and turns off when the amplifier 
goes into standby mode, so you can see at 
a glance when the subwoofer is operating. 

High-Level Input

 — lets you connect the 

subwoofer to an amplifier’s or receiver’s 
speaker outputs.

Note:

    You need speaker wire (not 

supplied) to connect the subwoofer to an 
amplifier or receiver’s speaker outputs.

Low-Level Input

 —lets you connect the 

subwoofer to an amplifier’s or receiver’s 
subwoofer out or pre out jacks. These 
inputs automatically sum left and right 
channel information.

Note:

    You need phono cables (not 

supplied) to connect the subwoofer to an 
amplifier or receiver’s subwoofer out or 
pre out jacks.

Volume Control

 — lets you match the 

subwoofer’s output level to your satellite 
speakers’ output (if used). Rotate the 
control clockwise to increase, or 
counterclockwise to decrease, the 
subwoofer’s output.

Phase (Polarity) Switch

 — Inverts the 

subwoofer’s output polarity so you can set 
it to match the main speakers.

Frequency Hz Control

    — lets you set the 

high frequency cutoff point. Rotated fully 
clockwise, the subwoofer cuts high 
frequencies over 200 Hz. Rotated fully 
counterclockwise, it cuts high frequencies 
over 50 Hz.
