crossover switch should be in the “On” position when the audio signal sent
to the subwoofer is ‘full-range’ and not already ltered through another cross-
over. The switch should be set to “Off” when the audio signal being sent to
the subwoofer has already been ltered or crossed-over, such as the subwoofer
pre-out from some A/V receivers and pre-ampliers. Please refer to you’re A/V
receiver or pre-amplier’s owners manual for proper bass management set-
tings information. Proper adjustment of bass management settings will ensure
the subwoofer is not receiving a signal ltered through two crossovers and will
allow the SW8 to perform at its best. Destination Audio suggests consulting
with your dealer or installer, and experimenting with the crossover on and off
to determine which is best for your system.
Installation
Your Destination Audio SW8 in-wall subwoofer has been designed to make
its installation as easy as possible.
The rst step is to locate where you’ll be installing the SW8 and cut the drywall
according to the cutout specications included in this manual. For your
convenience, a cutout template is supplied with the SW8 to assist in helping
you decide where to install it. Warning! Be careful and take your time during
this step. Electrical and plumbing objects within the wall may interfere with the
installation of the SW8. Properly installing the speaker in an area free from objects
such as these will make your installation experience much better. If you’re
fortunate to have used a Destination Audio IBSW8Q new construction bracket,
your cutout will already be located and ready to go for the next steps.
The next step would be to locate the speaker wires which have been run to the
speaker location and connect the speaker wires to the terminal connections on
the rear of the SW8. The positive conductor of the wire connects to the red
terminal and the negative conductor of the wire connects to the black terminal.
Caution! Pay special attention to the Wiring section of this manual for monaural
and stereo amplier connections before proceeding.
The SW8 subwoofer is secured by eight dog leg brackets.
When tightened, these brackets rmly attach the subwoofer
to the drywall. Before inserting the SW8 into the drywall
cutout, check each of the dog leg brackets to make sure
they are ready and appear as in Figure 2. Once the dog
leg brackets are ready or ‘cocked’, insert the SW8 into
the drywall cutout. Using a screwdriver or drill/driver,
tighten each of the eight mounting screws on the front
of the subwoofer. Tightening each of these screws will
rotate the dog leg brackets into position as in Figure 3,
