PRO SWS-502 Satellite Subwoofer Speaker System
Your Optimus PRO SWS-502 Satellite
Subwoofer Speaker System is designed
to add the dramatic realism of solid bass
(below 200 Hz) to your sound system.
While the satellite speakers reproduce the
high, midrange, and upper-bass frequen-
cies, the subwoofer’s bass reflex design
provides a clean response in the crucial
bottom octave of the audible range. This
results in heightened presence and clarity
for the entire audio range.
The subwoofer’s low-bass sounds are
produced by a down-firing 10-inch driver
with a 1
1
/
2
-inch dual-voice coil. Each sat-
ellite speaker has a 3
1
/
2
-inch woofer with
1
/
2
-inch liquid cooled soft-dome tweeter
in a separate enclosure that swivels so
you can adjust it for the best stereo imag-
ing.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Choosing a Location for the 
Satellites
Location and position are vital for the best
sound performance of your satellite
speakers. For the best stereo image, the
distance between the speakers should be
about the same as the distance from the
main listening area to a point halfway be-
tween the speakers.
If you place the speakers too far apart,
you might hear a “hole” in the center of the
sound. Compensate for this by angling the
speakers slightly in toward the listening
area.
If you place the speakers too close togeth-
er, you will cancel out the stereo image.
Compensate for this by angling the speak-
ers slightly away from the listening area.
