3. Persediaan dan Sambungan
Sebelum membuat sebarang sambungan, pastikan amplifier is powered off and unplugged from the AC outlet. The SWA500 is designed to power up to two Polk Audio CSW Series subwoofers of the same model.
3.1. SPEX Circuit Card Installation
The SWA500 amplifier utilizes SPEX circuit cards to optimize its performance for specific CSW subwoofer models. Ensure the correct SPEX card for your subwoofer model is inserted into the designated slot on the rear panel of the amplifier. These cards provide custom frequency shaping for optimal bass response.

- Line In (Filtered/Unfiltered): Connect your audio source (e.g., AV receiver's subwoofer output) to the appropriate Line In jacks using RCA cables. The "Filtered" input applies a low-pass filter, while "Unfiltered" bypasses it, useful if your source provides its own filtered signal.
- Beratur: These RCA outputs can be used to pass the audio signal to another amplifier or device.
- Penceramah Keluar: Connect your Polk Audio CSW subwoofer(s) to these terminals using appropriate speaker wire. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The SWA500 supports Class 2 wiring.
- Suis Fasa: Adjust this switch (0° or 180°) to optimize the subwoofer's phase with your main speakers for seamless sound integration.
- Suis Mod Kuasa: Select between "ON" (always on), "AUTO" (turns on when an audio signal is detected), or "STANDBY" (low power mode, awaiting signal).
- AC Utama: Connect the supplied power cord to this input and then to a suitable AC power outlet.
4. Operasi
Once all connections are made and the amplifier is plugged in, you can begin operating your SWA500.

- Butang Kuasa: Tekan untuk menghidupkan amplifier on or off. The power indicator light will illuminate when the unit is on.
- Penunjuk Perlindungan: This light illuminates if the amplifier enters protection mode due to overheating or an electrical fault. If this occurs, turn off the amplifier, check connections, and allow it to cool before restarting.
- Low Pass Filter (80Hz - 120Hz): This knob adjusts the upper frequency limit of the subwoofer's output. Adjust this to blend the subwoofer's sound seamlessly with your main speakers. Start with a setting around 80Hz and adjust by ear.
- Volume (Min - Max): This knob controls the overall output level of the subwoofer. Adjust to achieve the desired bass intensity relative to your main speakers.
4.2. Pelarasan Bunyi Permulaan
Begin with the Low Pass Filter set to a mid-point (e.g., 100Hz) and the Volume knob at a low setting. Play a familiar piece of music or movie scene. Gradually increase the Volume until the bass is noticeable but not overpowering. Then, fine-tune the Low Pass Filter and Phase switch to achieve the most natural and integrated sound with your main speakers. The goal is for the subwoofer to enhance the low frequencies without drawing attention to its location.
5. Penyelenggaraan
