Connections
Your PASW series
speaker has an extremely
flexible connection panel.
There are two Speakon jacks
as well as two ¼” jacks. You
can also hookup your speaker
cabinet using the “Quick
Connect” speaker terminals,
which accommodate either
wire leads or a banana plug.
The jacks are wired in
parallel, which allows you to
daisy chain additional
speakers. Thus you can use one amplifier channel to power multiple
speakers.
Make certain that the wires you are using are at least 12 gauge
unshielded speaker cable (the lower the number, the thicker the wire). Do
not use shielded “instrument” cables.
Hooking speakers up in parallel decreases the overall
impedance, placing a greater load on the amplifier. Check your
amplifier’s specifications to ensure that you are not overloading
the channel.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE MORE THAN ONE JACK AS AN
AMPLIFIER INPUT. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE SPEAKER!
Operation
When powering on your equipment, make sure the volume level on
the amplifier is turned all the way down. This is to avoid the “popping”
noise, which could damage your speaker.
High frequencies are unidirectional while low frequencies are omni
directional. Being that this is a subwoofer, it is not necessary for there to be

a direct line-of-site between the sub and the audience. Optimal placement is
directly on the floor.
When using more than one loudspeaker, you have to account for
phase alignment. When the speakers are close together this is not usually an
issue. However, when they are far apart, the sound from one speaker may
reach the ear a fraction of a second before the other. This will cause certain
frequencies to cancel out, resulting in a hollow sound. To avoid this, you
may have to use a delay processor to align the sound from the speakers.
Although an active crossover is not required you may choose to use
one for maximum routing control and increased amplifier efficiency.
Troubleshooting
No Sound:
VCheck connections
VTry a different speaker cable
VCheck levels on amplifier
VConfirm amplifier is getting a signal (check signal LED, or use
headphone output)
Intermittent Output:
VCheck connections
VTry a different speaker cable
Weak Bass:
VCheck the polarity of the speaker connection. It may be reversed.
VListen with headphones to confirm the amplifier is being sent a good
signal.
Distorted Sound:
VCheck if the amplifier is overdriven. If it is, you will have to turn the
level down.
VMake sure you are not exceeding the RMS rating of your speaker.
