Monoprice Inc. Black Monoprice Swa-400 Subwoofer Amplifier - 400 Watt With Dsp, Presets, Cool Class D Amps
The SWA‑400 subwoofer amplifier delivers clean, solid power required to drive medium to large sized subwoofer speakers. Its compact 1U design is compatible with many other popular electronic devices and different styles of multimedia gear. The SWA‑400 is engineered to provide high fidelity bass amplification and is tailored for home audio and home theater audio systems. User defined presets give you complete control over crossover frequency, as well as slope, phase, and low‑cut. Recall your presets for the type of listening you are doing. Short circuit and thermal protection circuits are built‑in.Master Volume: Sets the overall subwoofer output in relation to the main speakers. Values range from ‑9dB to +9dB, selectable in 3dB increments. The volume should be set to achieve an even balance between full‑range program and subwoofer output.Preset Choose: Selects one of 3 presets. Preset 1 is optimized for 8" in‑wall subs, Preset 2 is optimized for 10" in‑wall subs, and preset 3 is optimized for 12" subs.Crossover Frequency: Selects the highest frequency cut‑off point to the subwoofer. If you are using larger main speakers use lower frequencies below 100Hz. A smaller main speaker will require more reinforcement from the subwoofer, so the crossover should be set to higher frequencies above 100Hz. A good starting place is the lower limit of the frequency response of the main speakers.Crossover Slope: Also known as roll‑off, the slope refers to how abruptly the high frequencies are cut off. The SWA‑400 offers 4 slopes from ‑12dB to ‑48dB. This setting refers to how many decibels above the selected Crossover Freq are attenuated (turned down) per octave. A gradual slope of ‑12dB allows more bleed of higher frequencies to pass through the subwoofer. This is useful with smaller or cheaper main speakers that are less efficient at reproducing bass. Higher slopes are more effective when used with high efficiency and bigger main speakers that do produce sufficient bass.Phase: This puts a slight delay on the signal sent to your subwoofer. Since the main amplifier drives the main speakers with full‑range sound, the main speakers are reproducing bass frequencies along with the sub. If you have a front firing sub that is in the same plane as the mains, then the phase can be set to 0. Down‑firing, rear‑ported, or subs placed away from the mains will smear the bass tones and the frequencies will cancel each other out as they bounce around the room. Try different settings and walk around your listening area for the optimum setting.Low‑Cut: Selects the lowest frequency that the amp will reproduce. This is useful for smaller subs, 10" and below. Since smaller speakers cannot reproduce extreme low frequencies, it is best to limit the system to what they can reproduce. This will maximize the efficiency of the subwoofer system and minimize over‑extension and speaker failure. Please check with your subwoofer manufacture's manual and specs for speaker limitations.Mode Select: Selects between Sub and LFE modes. The Sub setting is the normal operating mode for the SWA‑400. LFE mode bypasses the Crossover Freq function of the SWA‑400. Use this mode if you are connecting the SWA‑400 to the LFE output of your amplifier or AV receiver.Auto Standby: If no audio signal is present for an extended period of time, the SWA‑400 can be switched into standby mode to conserve electricity. Choose from 5‑30 minutes in 5 minute increments or turn the function off.Memory Storage: Once the system is set to your liking, save your settings to one of three memory storage locations. Different settings for music, movies, and night time are a good use for memory storage positions.Memory Recall: Loads one of the three user‑defined memory storage locationsProtection: Short circuit and thermal protection circuits are built‑in.While dee

Returns
Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgment, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Refunds
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalized items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
