Power/Clip indicator
 
This indicator lights up green when you turn the 
POWER switch on the rear panel ON. If the output 
level is too high, causing clipping at the amplifier, 
the indicator lights up red. In this case, lower the 
level using the VOL control on the rear panel, or 
lower the input level.

PHASE switch
 
This switch enables you to select a phase. You will 
usually set this switch to “NORM.” However, the 
“REV” setting may improve low-range sounds, 
depending on the type and location of the entire 
speaker system. Try both settings and select the one 
with a better-sounding low-range output.

CUTOFF FREQ control
 
This control enables you to adjust the high-cutoff 
frequency in the range of 40Hz through 120Hz 
depending on the speakers you are using with the 
SW10 and your personal preferences.

VOL (Volume) control
 
This control enables you to adjust the sound

OUTPUT jacks 1, 2, and 3
 
These are XLR-type balanced output jacks. Connect 
these jacks to the main speakers to route signals

Note on the PHASE switch
 
The PHASE switch enables you to select 
normal or reverse phase from the main 
speakers.
When you change this setting, the sound may 
change slightly. In particular, the spaciousness 
and tightness of the sound across the entire 
frequency range, and your perception of the 
acoustic field may change. The effect of this 
switch differs depending on the type of main 
speakers (closed or bass reflex) and the 
system’s installation conditions. Try both 
settings and select whichever makes a more 
natural sound.
