4.1 Colocación del subwoofer

For optimal performance and bass response, it is recommended to place your Klipsch Sub-120 subwoofer in a corner of the room. Corner placement utilizes the room's acoustics to enhance bass output and provide a more immersive audio experience.

4.2 Conexiones

The Klipsch Sub-120 offers flexible connection options to integrate with almost any AV receiver or stereo system.

• LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) Input: For receivers with a dedicated subwoofer output (LFE or SUB OUT), connect a single RCA cable from the receiver's subwoofer output to the LFE input on the subwoofer. This is the recommended connection for home theater systems.
• Line In (Stereo RCA Inputs): If your receiver does not have an LFE output, connect stereo RCA cables from your receiver's pre-out (left and right) to the corresponding Line In (L/R) inputs on the subwoofer.
