– This product should be site away from heat sources such as radiators, lamps and any other device that generate heat.
– This product should be located so that its locaon or posion does not interfere with its proper venlaon and heang dissipaon.
– Care should be taken so that objects and liquids do not go inside the product.
– The product should be connected to a power supply mains line only of the type described on the operang instrucons or as marked on the
product. Connect the apparatus to a power supply using only power cord included making always sure it is in good condions.
–WARNING: The mains plug is used as disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
– Do not cancel the safety feature assured by means of a polarized line plug (one blade wider than the other) or with a earth connecon.
– Make sure that power supply mains line has a proper earth connecon.
– Power supply cord should be unplugged from the outlet during strong thunderstorm or when le unused for a long period of me.
– Do not place objects on the product’s power cord or place it in a posion where anyone could trip over, walk on or roll anything over it. Do not
allow the product to rest on or to be installed over power cords of any type. Improper installaons of this type create the possibility of re hazard
and/or personal injury.
– This product may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause
permanent hearing loss. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause
permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in suscepbility to noise-
induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed
to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the
permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart. According to
OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some
hearing loss. To ensure against potenally dangerous exposure to high sound
pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment
capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while
the equipment is in operaon. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over
the ears must be worn when operang the equipment in order to prevent
permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here. Keep
your's aenon that children and pets are more suscepble to excessive noise
levels.
IN CASE OF FAULT
• In case of fault or maintenance this product should be inspected only by qualied service personnel when:
– There is a aw either in the connecons or in the supplied connecng cables.
– Liquids have spilled inside the product.
– The product has fallen and been damaged.
– The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.
– The product has been lost liquids or gases or the enclosure is damaged.
• Do not operate on the product, it has no user-serviceable parts inside, refer servicing to an authorized maintenance centre.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No Power • The loudspeaker's "POWER" switch is o.
• Make sure the mains AC outlet is live (check with a tester or a lamp).
• Make sure the mains plug is securely plugged into mains AC outlet.
No Sound • Is the input LEVEL control for the channel turned up?
• Is the SIGNAL LED illuminated? If not check if your signal level is too low or check the signal cable, mixer and other
equipment seng and cabling.
• Are you sure your signal cables works properly? check it using a cable tester or replacing with a new one.
• Is the SPEAKON cable connector correctly inserted? turn it clockwise unl it clicks.
• Are you sure your power cable works properly? check it using a cable tester or replacing with a new one.
Distorted Sound • Input signal level is too high. Turn down your level controls.
NOTE: The loudspeakers should never be operated at a level which causes the amplier Clip LEDs to illuminate
constantly.
Dierent channel
level
• Check if are using a balanced cable for one channel and an unbalanced one for the other, as this would cause a
considerable dierence in channel levels.
• Be sure that your loudspeaker system is fully connected and both loudspeakers have the same impedance.
Noise / Hum • Enable GND LIFT buon on rear panel, if the problem persist press all GND LIFT buons for all system's ampliers.
• Whenever possible, preferably use only balanced cables. Unbalanced lines may also be used but may result in noise
over long cable runs.
• Somemes it helps to plug all audio equipment into the same AC circuit so they share a common ground.

INSTALLATION AND DISCLAIMER
•CELECTRON products have been expressly designed for audio application, with signals in audio range (20Hz to 20kHz). CELECTRON has no liability
for damages caused in case of lack of maintenance, modifications, improper use or improper installation non-applying safety instructions.
• The installation of these speakers is provided for indoors, in case of use outdoors be sure that the speakers are installed correctly in a safe
location protected from wind, rain and humidity. To avoid performance deterioration of mechanical, acoustics and electrical parts is not advisable
to leave these speakers exposed outdoors for a long period of time, so we suggest a temporary installation for the limited sound events.
• The installation of these speakers is provided for floor or by means of specific stands able to support their weight. Therefore avoid installation
on unstable elements such as: furniture, chairs and vibrant surfaces as stages or other speakers without appropriate fix point specifically designed
to avoid speaker movement. Then avoid the use of inadequate supports, we suggest to use CELECTRON stands and accessories only.
• In case of the speakers are provided of rigging points: DO NOT SUSPEND THE SPEAKERS FROM THE HANDLES, use exclusively these rigging points.
Consult professional rigger or structural engineers prior to suspending loudspeakers from a structure not intended for that use. Always know the
working load limit of the structure supporting the loudspeakers. Always make sure that the rigging hardware minimum rating is at least five times
the actual load, speakers and rigging hardware.
• In case of suspended installations of active loudspeakers where is not possible to turn on and off the speakers from their appropriate switches,
we recommend to install switches on the mains lines, for this purpose consult an expert electrician for the exact dimension of wiring.
• Locate the speakers as far away as possible from radio or television receivers or other sensitive equipment. These speakers have a strong
magnetic field which can induce hum and noise into unshielded devices that are located nearby with consequent deterioration of reception of
image and sound.
•CELECTRON Electronic reserves the right to change these specifications at any time without notice.
•CELECTRON Electronic declines any liability for damages to objects or persons caused by lacks of maintenance, improper use, installation not
performed with safety precautions and at the state of the art.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for having chosen a CELECTRON product.
The SW Series is a range of sub-woofers designed to complement CELECTRON full-range passive or acve speakers. The
variety of size, power and SPL offered by the five SW models provides the perfect low extension soluon for any
speaker model available in the CELECTRON range.
All the SW models feature large VC woofers and band-pass or vented design, which provide very ‘punchy’, dynamic lows
together with an extended low frequency response.
The CLASS D amplifier modules can generate a massive amount of connuous power in a compact and reliable package.
All the modules include a STEREO pre-amp secon, 24dB/oct. crossover filters with selectable frequency and PHASE
reverse switch. The SW110A cabinet is built with 15 plywood and feature metal handle for an easy transport.
INSTRUCTIONS ( FIG. 1 / 2 / 3 )
1. INPUT LEFT (combo XLR-JACK input)
This is a female combo connector, which accepts a XLR or a JACK plug from almost any type of equipment with a
balanced or unbalanced line level outputs. The XLR input is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + posive or "hot"
Pin 3 = - negave or "cold"
The JACK input is wired as follows:
Tip = + posive or "hot"
Ring = - negave or "cold"
Sleeve = shield or ground
When connecng an unbalanced signal, wire them as follows:
Pin2 / Tip = + posive or "hot"
Pin 1-3 / Sleeve = shield or ground
NOTE: Whenever possible, use always balanced cables. Unbalanced lines may also be used but may result in noise over
long cable runs. In any case, avoid using a balanced cable for one channel and an unbalanced one for the other.
2. LINK LEFT (XLR output balanced)
This is a male XLR connector, that is connected in parallel with the respecve line input (so the LINK is wired as the
input). Connect these to the inputs of other powered speakers to make an array.
3. OUT LEFT (XLR output balanced)
This is a male XLR connector, that provides a balanced line-level signal. This signal is filtered with an high-pass filter to
connect a sat speaker. This output is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + posive or "hot"
Pin 3 = - negave or "cold"
4. INPUT RIGHT (combo XLR-JACK input)
Same as above. Use both inputs and outputs when connect a stereo system to a single subwoofer (1 sub + 2 sat). In the
case of mono system (1 sub + 1 sat for each channel) you can use either leor right input without disncon.
5. LINK RIGHT (XLR output balanced)
This is a male XLR connector, that is connected in parallel with the respecve line input (so the LINK is wired as the
input). Connect these to the inputs of other powered speakers to make an array.
6. OUT RIGHT (XLR output balanced)
Same as above. Use both inputs and outputs when connecng a stereo system to a single subwoofer (1 sub + 2 sat).
In the case of mono system (1 sub + 1 sat for each channel) you have to use the same channel used for input: leor
right.
7. GND LIFT switch
This switch lis the ground of the balanced audio inputs from the earth-ground of the amplifier. If you have HUM
noise problems on one or more loudspeaker try to change the posion of these switches (oen all up or all down for
all the amplifiers in the system). Please note that to have an effect all cables must be balanced.
8. FILTER switch
Use this switch to set the crossover frequency for the internal filter and for the OUT LEFT and RIGHT connectors.
Choose the crossover frequency by your taste or music genre.

13
9. LEVEL control
Rotary level control: it aenuates the level of the signal sent to the subwoofer speaker. The aenuaon ranges from
“0” fully closed (the signal is completely aenuated) to “10” fully open, nominal level (the signal is not aenuated in
any way, so is fed to the internal amplifier at the same level at which it arrives on input).
10. LIMIT indicator
GREEN LED illuminates to indicate the presence of the signal at the built-in amplifier input.
RED LED illuminates when the internal amplifier's output is limited. When this LED flashes reduce the input signal
level.
11. PHASE 0° / 180° switch
This switch reverses the polarity of the subwoofer. Depending on the placement of the subwoofer relave to the
full-range sat speakers, you can get a beer low-frequency response in the room if you reverse the polarity of the
subwoofer’s signal. Listen in different posions of the venue in order to find which is the best sounding seng.
NOTE: ALL SUBWOOFER SPEAKERS MUST BE HAVE THE SAME POLARITY. If you note a lack in lowest frequency range
using more than one subwoofer, probably you have a subwoofer out-of-phase respect the other. Be always sure all these
switches are in same posion.
12. ON indicator
GREEN LED: when lighted indicates that the amplifier has been turned on and AC power is available.
13. POWER switch
Speaker is "ON" when the switch is in the "I" posion. Use this switch to set the speaker power to ON or OFF.
NOTE: When you shut down your equipment, turn offthe speaker first. When powering up, turn on the speaker last.
14. AC~ socket
Here’s where you plug in your speaker’s mains supply cord. You should always use the mains cord supplied with the
speaker. Be sure your speaker is turned offbefore you plug the mains supply cord into an electrical outlet.
15. FUSE holder
Here is placed the mains protecon fuse.
WARNING: replace the protecƟon fuse only with same type as shown on the product.
If aŌer the subsƟtuƟon, the fuse interrupts again the apparatus working, do not try again then contact the
celectron service center.
16. LINE VOLTAGE selector
This selector set the AC voltage line of your country (usually it is set by factory and isn't necessary to change). The 115V
seng is for mains line in the range of 105-120V~ and 230V seng is for mains line in the range of 210-240V~.
WARNING: an incorrect seƫng of AC LINE VOLTAGE could damage seriously the internal amplifier!
17. POWER OUT AC~ socket
Here’s where you plug in your satellite speaker’s mains supply cord. Connecng the satellite speaker to this socket you
can switch on/offthe whole system from the SW110A power switch.
WARNING: the maximum load for each socket is 4 amperes, the power out sockets are NOT protected by the
fuse.
