Wireless Connection Information (Important)

 

 

If you are using your RSL Speedwoofer 10SMKII wirelessly, here is some additional information 
you should know:

 

 

• 

When pairing the wireless transmitter to the Speedwoofer, the Speedwoofer

s pairing 

button must be held for 3 or 4 seconds and no longer.

 

• 

Holding the Speedwoofer

s pairing 6 seconds or longer will temporarily unpair the     

Speedwoofer. This can be useful if you wish to change to a wired connection. When the 
Speedwoofer is temporarily unpaired, you will be able to use an RCA cable instead of  
sending the signal wirelessly. However, it is important to note that if the Speedwoofer is 
unplugged from an AC outlet or its power switch is turned off, the Speedwoofer will resort 
to its wireless connection. To avoid this, leave the wireless transmitter

s power cable      

disconnected or use an in line power switch to turn off the transmitter when not in use.

 

• 

Using the Speedwoofer wirelessly will result in it always staying in operation mode. This is 
OK, because in operation mode with no signal applied, power consumption is only slightly 
higher than in standby mode. This has no effect on the longevity of the Speedwoofer

s  

amplifier. However, if you wish to have the Speedwoofer go into standby mode, you can 
unplug the power to the transmitter when not in use or install an inexpensive inline power 
switch to turn it off.

 

• 

If you wish your Speedwoofer to be permanently unpaired to your transmitter, it can be 
paired to a different transmitter. Then, it will forget the first transmitter. Or, you can just 
not power on your transmitter and the Speedwoofer will always use a wired connection.

 

There are three ways to connect dual subwoofers. Many of today

s A/V receivers and proces-

sors provide two subwoofer or LFE connections. With these, you can run separate RCA cables 
to each of your subwoofers. If your A/V receiver only has one subwoofer jack, you can connect 
two RCA cables to a Y adapter and one cable to each subwoofer. The third way is to connect 
the first subwoofer normally and connect an RCA cable from the first subwoofer

s line outputs 

to the second subwoofer

s line inputs (see diagram above). In a home theater installation you 

will bypass both subwoofers

’ 

internal crossovers. For stereo installations you

ll use and adjust 

both subwoofers

’ 

internal crossovers. 

 

 

For connecting two subs wirelessly, you can pair both subs to a single transmitter. Note:     
connecting the first Speedwoofer wirelessly or using speaker level inputs will not pass the   
signal to the second Speedwoofer.
