Introduction
The Jamo Studio 8 series was created to blend well with contemporary, upscale settings. The sleek, basic lines of this European design are emphasized by modern material and finish choices like wood grain accents, matte vinyl finishes, and magnetic woven linen grilles.

The tweeters, bases, and feet all have wood grain elements that give the speaker a handcrafted, organic appearance. For a refined, tidy appearance, trim rings hide the fasteners on the woofers’ outside edges.
High-performance acoustics are delivered by small, compact cabinets. High- frequency sound is focused using WaveGuide technology to produce dynamic, potent sound. The front-firing tube port of the speakers enables flexible installation (in cabinets, against walls, etc.) as well as improved, cleaner bass response. Black, White, and Walnut are the three finishes that are offered for all Studio 8 models. excellent placement and orientation versatility with an ultra-slim cabinet – shooting from the front next to a wall or from the side next to a console or cabinet.
INSPECTION
We want your new speaker system to look as good as it did leaving the factory! Please check promptly for any transit damage. Carefully unpack your new speaker system and verify the components against the packing list. In extreme circumstances, items may have become damaged in transit. If any damage is discovered, notify the delivery service and dealer where the system was purchased. Make a request for inspection, and follow their instructions for evaluation. Be sure to keep the product’s original shipping carton.
CARE AND CLEANING
Your subwoofer has a durable vinyl finish that should only require dry dusting or cleaning with a dry cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive or solvent-based cleaners and harsh detergents. The brush attachment of your vacuum should remove any dust from your subwoofer enclosure.
PLACEMENT
Jamo® powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music come alive. For optimum performance, place your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers. (refer to Figure 1). Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect on the performance of your powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above, will increase the amount of bass output, while placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the room will decrease the amount of bass output. Experiment with a number of different placement options and control settings to find the one that best suits your particular room and taste. When choosing your subwoofer’s location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofer’s built-in amplifier to an AC power outlet.
CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS
CAUTION: Ensure that the subwoofer is unplugged from the AC wall outlet before making any connections.
“LINE IN” Connection – Most of today’s surround receivers (and pre-amplifiers) have a line level subwoofer output labeled Subwoofer Pre Out, Sub Out, SW Out, etc. If you have this output, connect one end of a subwoofer cable to it and connect the other end of the cable into the subwoofer line input labeled LEFT/LFE. This connection allows the subwoofer to operate with both music and surround sound movies (refer to your receiver manual).
Level – If your subwoofer is connected to a Subwoofer Output of a surround receiver, first set the subwoofer volume level control in the receiver to the “half way” or “0 dB” position. Then increase the volume (or gain) of the subwoofer up until the subwoofer’s volume level matches the output of your main speakers. After this setup is completed, the volume control on your system’s main amplifier or pre-amplifier will be the volume control for both your subwoofer and speakers together.
“LOWPASS” Control – The crossover point chosen determines where low bass frequencies are “handed off” from the speakers to the subwoofer. If setting the crossover point in the receiver, turn the Lowpass Filter knob on the subwoofer to the farthest point right (160Hz). Set the crossover point based on the size of the main left/right speakers you are using in the system. As a general rule, for larger, floorstanding speakers, set the crossover point between 50Hz-90Hz. If using a small bookshelf or “satellite” speakers for the mains, set the crossover point between 90Hz-150Hz. The smaller the speaker, the higher the setting until the bass frequencies blend well between the speakers and your subwoofer once your system is completely hooked up. If your receiver does not have a crossover point set, set the Lowpass Filter on the subwoofer instead within the same recommended settings (see receiver manual for additional speaker setup info).
“PHASE” 0/180 – This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer’s output to your main speakers. Select the position, either 0° or 180°, in which your subwoofer has more output at the listening position.
“POWER” AUTO/ON/OFF – When this switch is in the “AUTO” position, the subwoofer will automatically turn “on” when it senses a signal. It will automatically go into “standby mode” after 15-20 minutes with no signal. When this switch is in the “OFF” position, the subwoofer will remain “off” until the switch is manually turned back to the “ON/AUTO” position.
Power LED indicator – Located on the front baffle, this LED indicates the operating status of the built-in amplifier. The LED will light green when the amplifier is on and receiving a signal. If the LED is dark and not lit, the amplifier is off. For more information on the controls mentioned in this manual and on bass management, see your dealer or visit www.jamo.com
Frequently Asked Questions
How should my Klipsch subwoofer be installed?
Simply hold the “pair” button on the back of the sub for three seconds to re- couple them if they ever get unpaired for any reason. The blue LED on the sub’s rear will begin to flash. Press the ‘pair’ button on the back of the soundbar once while it is blinking.
How can I connect my receiver to my Klipsch subwoofer?
Run an RCA wire from the AV receiver’s subwoofer output to the subwoofer’s line input to use as a Subwoofer cable to connect the subwoofer to the receiver. Klipsch subwoofers can be linked using the white RCA connector, the LFE channel, or in a stereo pair using both the red and white RCA connections.
Why are there left and right inputs on my subwoofer?
Imagine doing the opposite of using a Y splitter to separate two different channels. The receiver is where this is done. The right sound can now be sent to the subwoofer after the left and right signals were integrated into one channel.
What settings should be used on a Klipsch subwoofer?
Although setting the crossover (Low Pass knob) at 80Hz is typically advised, there is some room for individual variation. See which settings sound the best to you by experimenting with various locations.
How should my subwoofer be phased?
Play loud music with lots of bass, listen for about a minute, then have a friend sit next to the sub and slowly flick the 0/180-degree phase switch back and forth. The option that produces greater bass is the appropriate one.
What setting on my subwoofer’s low pass filter should I use?
Generally speaking, the Low-Pass Filter should be set at a value that is roughly equivalent to (or below) 70% of the lowest frequency response of your main speaker. The frequency response of your speaker, for instance, drops to 43Hz. You should adjust the low pass filter on the subwoofer to 30Hz because 70 percent of 43Hz is equal to 30.1.
Where do I connect my receiver to my subwoofer?
The best way to connect a subwoofer is through the receiver’s subwoofer output, which is usually designated SUB OUT or SUBWOOFER, using an LFE (Low- Frequency Effects) connection. This kind of subwoofer output is available on almost all home theatre receivers, processors, and certain stereo receivers.
How should a subwoofer be connected?
The RCA (Phono) “sub” or “woofer” line out found on home theatre receivers and pre-amps is the best connection for a typical powered subwoofer. For use with a receiver or pre-amp without a sub RCA connection, some subwoofers provide “High Level inputs” (speaker wire connectors).
Should I connect the subwoofer to both inputs?
The subwoofer can have its sensitivity increased thanks to dual input. Typically, using a mono LFE subwoofer signal from its processor would be sufficient. You can use a Y-splitter if your processor has a very low output. The subwoofer’s sensitivity is doubled when the same mono signal is applied to both inputs.
How can I get my subwoofer to produce more bass?
Turn the bass boost off, the low-pass filter all the way up, and the subwoofer amp gain all the way down. Set all of the tone controls to the middle positions and turn on the head unit. Play a piece of music with high, midrange, and low notes that you are familiar with
