AudioSource AS10SW Manual Do Utilizador

The AS10SW is designed to be used with the sub output 
of any 5.1 or 7.1 surround receiver/amplifi er. If not using 
a sub output with active low pass crossover, we recom-
mend using an external active crossover or a passive 
crossover with a minimum crossover slope of 12db per 
octave @ 100 Hz.

Installation Tip! Due to the high sound pressure levels 
subwoofers create at higher volume levels, it is possible 
that the drywall in the area next to the subwoofer could 
rattle against the wall’s 2” x 4” framing. If this occurs, it is 
possible to stop the rattles by:
1. Stuffi ng more insulation into the wall cavity to dampen 
the sheetrock. Take care to keep the insulation away from 
the subwoofers magnet (there is little clearance from 
the back of the magnet to the back sheet rock once the 
AS10SW is mounted).
2. Install additional 2” x 4” bracing above and to the sides 
of the subwoofer cutout. Silicone caulking can be applied 
to both sides of the 2” x 4” to brace the wall (see Fig. 7).

A paint shield is included in the AS10SW speaker pack-
age. Place the paint shield inside the frame to protect the 
speaker. You can now safely paint the speaker frame to 
match your wall surface if you desire.

When painting the grill caution should be taken to en-
sure that paint does not clog or congest the perforated 
openings in the grill. This would prevent proper operation 
of the grill by restricting the airfl ow and sound from the 
speaker.

Should it ever become necessary to remove the AS10SW 
speaker from the wall, simply remove the grill and turn 
the four mounting screws counter-clockwise. Gently pull 
the AS10SW forward and lower the frame assembly so 
the mounting screws have direct contact with the bottom 
of the drywall cut-out. It should now be possible to tip the 
top of the AS10SW forward and draw the subwoofer out 
of the drywall cutout. 

The resistance of the speaker wire in your installation can 
cause your subwoofer to perform at less than optimum 
quality level. Excess resistance caused by using an un-
dersized speaker wire can result in loss of detail and defi -
nition in the low frequency region of your audio program, 
as well as a loss of dynamic range. 

To prevent this effect in your installation we have recom-
mended speaker wire gauges that should not exceed 0.5 
Ohms resistance over the recommended length of wire 
run.

For the AS10SW subwoofer, we suggest the following 
minimum speaker wire gauge be used:
