1. Stand-by / On Indicator

TheLED indicates whetherthe unit isin stand-by mode or operational.

2. Crossover Frequency Control

The crossover frequency control only operates when the low pass filter switch

(refer to section 3.) is in the ‘In’ position. The crossover frequency control is used

to set the upper frequency limit (low pass) of the RS W12. The crossover control

should be set in accordance with the size or bass output of the main/satellite

speakers. Refer to the chart below as a guide to setting the crossover frequency

control to the optimum position. Much will depend on the correct low frequency

response of the main speakers and their position in your room. Experimentation

is advisable.

Type of main speaker Crossover control setting

Large floor-standing speaker 40-60 Hz

Small floor-standing speaker 50-70Hz

Large stand-mount/ bookshelf speaker 50-80 Hz

Small stand-mount/ bookshelf speaker 60-90 Hz

Small satellite speaker 80-160 Hz

3. Low Pass Filter Switch.

When set to the ‘In’ position the crossover frequency control (section 2) is

activated and can be adjusted from 40Hz to 120Hz using the crossover frequency

control. When set to the ‘In’ position it can be used with an amplifier that does

not have a dedicated sub-woofer or LFE output, such as a stereo 2-channel

amplifier. If the amplifier or A/V processor has a dedicated LFE or sub-woofer

output, the Low pass filter switch should be set to the ‘Out’ position. The low

pass filter will then be set by the amplifier internal filter. This should be set in

accordance withtheamplifier or A/V processoruser guide.

4. Phase Control Switch

The Phase Control is used to synchronise any delay between the RS W12 and

main/satellite speakers. When the RS W12 is in phase with the main/satellite

speakers the sound should be full bodied. Sit in a normal listening position

whilst adjusting the phase switch. Help from another person may be required in

order todo this easily. Whenset correctly the locationof the subwoofershouldbe

almost undetectable. Experimentation is advisable in order to achieve optimum

results. However it should be noted that in most cases the phase control switch

should be set to 0 degrees, especially when using a digital A/V processor or A/V

receiveramplifier.
