Impostare
1. Posizionamento
Optimal subwoofer placement is crucial for sound quality. Experiment with different locations in your room to find the best balance of bass response. Generally, placing the subwoofer in a corner can enhance bass output, while placing it closer to your main speakers can improve integration. Avoid placing it directly against a wall if it causes excessive booming.
2. Connessioni
The PSW10 offers flexible connection options:
- Ingresso di linea (RCA): Connect your receiver's subwoofer output (LFE or Sub Out) to the LFE input on the subwoofer using an RCA cable. If your receiver has left and right pre-out jacks, use both left and right line-level inputs on the subwoofer.
- Ingressi/uscite a livello di altoparlante: For receivers without a dedicated subwoofer output, connect the speaker-level outputs from your receiver to the speaker-level inputs on the subwoofer. Then, connect the speaker-level outputs from the subwoofer to your main left and right speakers.

Istruzioni per l'uso
Once connected, adjust the following controls on the rear panel (refer to Figure 2):
- Controllo del volume: Regola il livello di uscita complessivo del subwoofer. Inizia con un'impostazione bassa e aumentala gradualmente fino a quando i bassi non si fondono perfettamente con gli altoparlanti principali.
- Filtro passa basso: This control sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. Adjust it to match the low-frequency capabilities of your main speakers. A common starting point is 80 Hz.
- Interruttore a levetta di fase (0°/180°): Adjust this switch to achieve the best bass impact and blend with your main speakers. Listen to music or a movie scene with strong bass and switch between 0° and 180° to determine which setting provides the most coherent and impactful bass.
- 3-Way Power Switch (Auto/On/Off):
- Auto: The subwoofer will automatically turn on when it detects an audio signal and enter standby mode after a period of inactivity.
- SU: Il subwoofer rimane costantemente acceso.
- Spento: Il subwoofer è spento.
Manutenzione
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Polk Audio PSW10 subwoofer, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Pulizia: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the cabinet. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Posizionamento: Keep the subwoofer away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation around the amppannello di raffreddamento per evitare il surriscaldamento.
- Energia: Se il subwoofer non verrà utilizzato per un periodo prolungato, scollegare il cavo di alimentazione dalla presa a muro.
Risoluzione dei problemi
| Problema | Possibile soluzione |
|---|---|
| Nessun suono dal subwoofer | Check power connection and ensure the 3-way power switch is set to 'On' or 'Auto'. Verify audio cable connections from the receiver to the subwoofer. Increase the volume control on the subwoofer. |
| Bassi deboli o distorti | Adjust the volume control and low-pass filter. Experiment with the phase toggle switch (0°/180°). Check for proper placement and ensure no obstructions are blocking the woofer or port. |
| Il subwoofer ronza | Ensure all connections are secure. Try plugging the subwoofer into a different electrical outlet. If using line-level inputs, try a ground loop isolator. |
| Il subwoofer non si accende automaticamente | Ensure the 3-way power switch is set to 'Auto'. Increase the volume output from your receiver's subwoofer channel to ensure a strong enough signal for auto-on detection. |
