Thank you for your purchase of the NHT  
SW10 ll or SW12 powered subwoofer.  
is to remember that low frequencies produce sounds with  
long wavelengths, which interact in complex ways with  
room boundaries, such a walls and corners, and other  
large objects as well.  
Like all NHT loudspeakers, the SW10 ll and SW12's  
development has been guided by the study of human  
hearing, it’s design rigorously tested, and its components  
optimized to deliver clean, clear musical sound.  
Placing the subwoofer near to a room boundary will tend  
to increase its apparent bass output, but may result in  
"boomy" or "muddy" sound. Conversely, placing it farther  
away from room boundaries will tend to decrease its  
apparent bass output, but may result in improved  
articulation and clarity.  
Since the quality of your speakers is one of the most  
important factors in maximizing the sound you'll get from  
your music and home theater system, we're sure that  
you'll find your purchase of the SW10 ll and SW12 a  
good investment, and invite your comments.  
When possible, place the subwoofer in the same  
horizontal plane and along the same wall as the main  
speakers.  
If you find your experience with the SW10 ll and SW12  
as satisfying as we believe you will, and wish to enjoy its  
high quality sound through your entire system, you'll find  
information about other sonically matched NHT Super  
Series loudspeakers on the back of this manual.  
And since small changes in subwoofer position can have  
a significant effect on sound, experimenting with the  
effects of different placements in your own listening/view-  
ing room is the key to finding the sound you like best.  
Background  
SW10 ll and SW12 Features & Controls  
The NHT SW10 ll and SW12 Powered Subwoofer is a  
compact, versatile and powerful amplified subwoofer  
designed to provide low frequency reinforcement for high  
performance audio and home theater systems.  
Volume: This control allows you to adjust the gain of the  
Subwoofer relative to the rest of your system. Many lis-  
teners make the mistake of setting subwoofers too loud,  
which can cause excess bloat and loss of detail and  
musicality. A properly calibrated subwoofer blends in with  
the speakers and does not call attention to itself. To  
properly set volume:  
The SW10 ll and SW12 features:  
• line-level and speaker-level inputs, for connection with  
all types of receivers or other audio components  
• Turn down the volume control on the SW10 ll or SW12  
to its lowest position (counter-clockwise).  
• independent gain, phase and low pass filter controls  
• Turn on your audio system, including the SW10 ll or  
SW12. Play some music you are familiar with and set  
your receiver/preamplifier volume to a comfortable lis-  
tening level.  
• boundary control for adjusting system sound for various  
room placement  
Please take a few minutes to read through this owner's  
manual before setting up your speakers; this information  
will help you get the most out of them. Also, please keep  
the SW10 ll or Sw12’s packaging to use in case you  
move or transport them.  
• Slowly increase the volume of the SW10 ll or SW12, lis-  
tening for proper frequency balance. When balanced,  
you will hear improved bass extension, but not be aware  
that it is coming from the subwoofer.  
If you have questions at any time during setup or use,  
feel free to call your NHT dealer or our Toll-Free  
Customer Hotline at 1-800-NHT-9993.  
From this point on, the volume control on your  
receiver/preamplifier will control the overall volume of  
your system, including the subwoofer.  
The Boundary EQ: This is a feature unique to NHT  
Evolution products. Reflective boundaries (such as  
walls) reinforce a speaker’s bass output (3dB for two  
walls, 6dB for a corner) if the subwoofer is placed near  
them. Conversely, placing a subwoofer out in the room  
results in a relative decrease in bass output. Boundary  
reinforcement may lead to low frequency response that  
Placement  
Note: To prevent the SW10 ll and SW12 subwoofer  
amplifier from overheating, always be sure to provide  
adequate space for proper ventilation. Do not place the  
subwoofer directly against the wall or any other surface.

is uneven. Some frequencies will sound exaggerated  
relative to others, or the subwoofer will sound thin and  
lack impact. The Boundary EQ control allows you to  
compensate for the effects of room boundaries on the  
frequency response  
Two tips on using the Low Pass Filter:  
As a starting point, set Low Pass Filter to the 1 o’clock  
position. This will result in an 80Hz low pass. As the set-  
ting is typical for most Dolby Digital / DTS applications.  
Note: The LFE input bypasses the adjustable 12dB Low  
Pass Filter.  
of the subwoofer. Adjusting the control enables you to  
achieve smooth low frequency output from the sub-  
woofer regardless of its location in your room.  
See the Fine-Tuning section for further adjustment  
guidelines.  
The following diagrams shown in Fig. 1 show the corre-  
lation between subwoofer placement and Boundary EQ.  
These diagrams are guidelines only. Your room  
acoustics and personal tastes will ultimately dictate the  
final setting.  
SUBWOOFER PHASE: This switch sets the phase of  
the subwoofer at either the 0° position (normal phase) or  
the 180° position (reverse phase) to achieve the  
smoothest possible bass response in your system.  
This phase-reversing option is important because if bass  
frequencies come from both the subwoofer and the main  
speakers, peaks and dips in the frequency response can  
occur at the listening position. In these cases, reversing  
the subwoofer phase can improve blending and balance.

To properly set the Subwoofer Phase:  
• Play familiar music, reversing phase settings. And listen  
from your usual position.  
• Avoid evaluating while standing above the subwoofer or  
amplifier; sound at the listening position will be  
significantly different.

POWER MODE: This feature automatically switches  
your SW10 ll or SW12 into minimum-power mode (ie,  
sleep) whenever no signal is present for 20 minutes.  
When a signal is received, it immediately turns on again.  
As AUTOMode is automatic, it requires no adjustment,  
nor is there a need to turn the SW10 ll or SW12 on and  
off every time it is used. When in ON Mode, the sub-  
woofer is always on.

LOW PASS FILTER: This control determines the upper-  
limit frequency the subwoofer will reproduce. For  
example, setting the filter at 100Hz will cause the  
subwoofer to reproduce only frequencies below 100Hz.  
The Low Pass Filter is continuously variable between  
40Hz (low bass) and 180Hz (upper bass), to  
accommodate different speakers.

SW10II OR SW12's input does not present a significant  
load to the receiver, and will not compromise its output to  
the L & R speakers. If you find that your receiver will not  
accommodate more than one cable per output terminal,  
check with your NHT dealer for alternative methods of  
connection.

With all signal connections complete, it is now time to  
apply AC power. Plug the power chord into the power  
inlet in the back of the subwoofer, plug the other end into  
into the wall outlet and switch the subwoofers power to  
the ON position.  
Use if:  
Your receiver has no Pre Out or Subwoofer/LFE Out  
jacks  
To connect for a High-Level signal (Fig. 4), use two addi-  
tional pairs of speaker cables, and connect as follows:  
For amps and receivers with separate A and B speak-  
er outputs, connect one pair of speaker cables from your  
receiver's Speaker A outputs to your main L & R speak-  
ers, and a second pair from your receiver's Speaker B  
outputs to the SW10II OR SW12's High-Level Input. Use  
this method only if both A & B speaker outputs can oper-  
ate simultaneously.  
For amps and receivers with only one set of speaker  
output terminals, simply feed the same signal, in parallel,  
to both your main L & R speakers and the SW10II OR  
SW12. Connect one pair of speaker cables from your

The frequency chart below lists some terms commonly  
used to describe different bands of the frequency  
spectrum. Listen to your system and make adjustments  
to achieve a seamless blend between your main  
speakers and the SW10 ll or SW12. Four common prob-  
lems are outlined below. Follow the flow chart to correct  
these. See the glossary for any terms you are unfamiliar  
with.  
Fine Tuning the Subwoofer  
The key to good subwoofer / speaker integration is  
repeated listening, followed by making small re-adjust-  
ments of the subwoofer controls. The most important  
bass tuning functions you will control are the LOW-PASS  
FILTER, followed by the VOLUME CONTROL settings  
and then PHASE SELECTOR.

Operation  
• reinstall the fuse holder  
We recommend that the SW10 ll or SW12 power be left  
on, which will allow the built-in Auto Mode feature to dis-  
able the subwoofer when not in use.  
Always replace the fuse with one of the exact same  
specifications.  
Every speaker, has limits, and it's important to listen for  
them. Speaker damage most often results not from brief  
loud musical peaks, but from sustained high volume lev-  
SW10 ll:

els in some or all frequencies. For this  
reason,  
extreme volume settings and excessive bass, treble or  
equalizer boosts are not recommended.  
For systems operating at 230 volts, use only a 5x20 mm,  
T2.0A, 250-volt slow-blow fuse.  
If you hear unusual distortion or breakup, or notice heat  
coming from the woofer, decrease volume immediately,  
neutralize any excess bass, treble or equalizer boosts,  
and avoid setting any controls to similar extremes again.  
SW12:  
For systems operating at 115 volts, use only a 5x20 mm,  
T5A, 250-volt slow-blow fuse.  
Maintenance  
For systems operating at 230 volts, use only a 5x20 mm,  
T2.5A, 250-volt slow-blow fuse.  
Your SW10 ll and SW12 is designed for years of use with  
no or minimal maintenance, as long as you avoid expos-  
ing it to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or moisture.  
Clean cabinets, when necessary, using a damp cloth or  
a mild, non-abrasive cleaner; to clean grilles, remove  
from speaker and use a soft brush or a vacuum on its  
lowest setting. Do not attempt to clean the actual driv-  
er.  
Troubleshooting  
If the SW10 ll or SW12 fails to operate at all when the  
Power Switch is turned on, thoroughly check the power  
cord, input and output connections  
If the SW10 ll or SW12 turns on but the LED indicator  
fails to illuminate, mis-wiring or a power surge may have  
caused the protection fuse to blow. Replace it with one of  
correct type and value.  
9.8 Changing the Line Voltage Setting  
The SW10 ll and SW12 were designed to operate on two  
line voltage settings, 115VAC and 230VAC. In the event  
that it is necessary to change the line voltage setting,  
begin by turning the power switch to the off position.  
Remove all the connections from the amplifier, including  
the detachable power cord. Using a flat blade screw-  
driver, slide the switch to the correct position. Use the  
115VAC position for 110 to 120 VAC, and the 230VAC  
position for 220 to 240 VAC. Next you will likely need a  
power cord that fits the AC receptacle and you will need  
to replace the fuse (see "Changing the Fuse" below)  
If the SW10 ll or SW12 turns on but its status LED stays  
red, the unit is gone into protect mode, which could be  
caused by incorrect wiring, short circuits, or excessive  
volume. Turn off the Power Switch on the subwoofer for  
two or more seconds to reset, and double check all  
speaker cables to be sure that no small metal strands are  
shorting the terminals.  
If these steps don't restore the SW10 ll or SW12 to oper-  
ation, contact your local Authorized NHT Dealer or NHT  
for assistance.
