Klipsch RP-1400SW Q&A:
What kind of room is the RP-1400SW best for?
It’s an excellent fit for medium-to-large rooms where you want deep extension and high output, especially for home theater impact and full-range music listening.
Can I connect it to an AV receiver using an LFE/Sub Out?
Yes. Use the receiver’s Subwoofer/LFE output into the RP-1400SW’s L/LFE input for the most common home theater connection.
Does it work with stereo preamps or receivers without a dedicated sub output?
Yes. If your system provides left/right pre-outs, you can connect both channels to the subwoofer’s RCA inputs.
Can I place the subwoofer anywhere in the room?
The front-firing driver and front slot port make placement more flexible than many rear-ported designs. Corner placement often increases bass output, while mid-wall placement typically reduces it.
Does the RP-1400SW support a wireless connection?
It supports wireless operation using the Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit (sold separately) via the built-in WA-2 port.
What do the low pass and phase controls do?
The low pass (crossover) control helps blend the subwoofer with your speakers by setting where bass is handed off to the sub. The phase switch (0°/180°) helps align bass timing for stronger output at your listening position.
Will it automatically turn on and off?
Yes. In Auto mode, it turns on when it detects a signal and enters standby after roughly 15–20 minutes without signal.
Can I use multiple inputs at the same time?
Yes. The design allows simultaneous use of inputs (for example, one connection for home theater and another for a 2-channel setup), depending on how your system is configured.
