Klipsch Reference R-10SWi Wireless powered subwoofer

My receiver is in a IT Closet separate from the entrainment room. will the signal travel trough a wall/ closet enclosure?

There have been sales on it in the past. If you would like to be notified about a sale, should it happen again, I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to make the arrangements.

Will the Klipsch R-10SWI work with a Yamaha HTR 6140 Receiver?

Theoretically, yes. However, we cannot guarantee performance through a wall/door. Passing through solid materials may shorten the approximately 30' range offered by this system.

Will the Klipsch R-10SWI work with a Yamaha HTR 6140 Receiver?

This can be used with an HTR-6140.

charlie Mar 06, 2023

What are the dimensions of the wireless transmitter?

Greetings Charlie, and thank you for your question. The Klipsch R10SWi comes with a transmitter that would plug into the subwoofer output jack on any receiver that has an RCA subwoofer out.

Can this wireless sub be placed inside an enclosed cabinet?

Greetings Robert, and thank you for your question. I will see if we can get that added to the presentation on our website. The dimensions are as follows 2.375 inches wide x 4.75 inches deep, and 0.6875 inches high.

Can this be used with a Bluetooth receiver that doesn't have a separate rca subwoofer output?

It can be placed inside a cabinet but depending on the size of the enclosure and the distance the receiver is from the cabinet you may run into connection issues and the subwoofer may sound very boomy so you may want to consider plugging the port.

james Jan 19, 2023

Can a single transmitter be used with two subs? I own an R-10SWi already but I'd like to add a second. Thanks in advance.

It would not be possible to connect this without an RCA preamp output. In order to use the wireless adapter, a subwoofer-specific single channel RCA output would be necessary. It would be possible to connect the sub with a cable to 2-channel RCA preamp output set so long as they provide variable volume control. This subwoofer does not have any sort of speaker level input.

Will this work with the discontinued Klipsch HD Wireless Control Center?

Greetings Bob, and thank you for your question. I had to reach out to Klipsch for the answer. Each transmitter is paired with the subwoofers receiver. To add a second wireless subwoofer, you must also use the included transmitter with the second sub. If you have two subwoofer outputs, you need to use both. If you only have the one, you need to split that with an RCA splitter and run both transmitters from the splitter.

How do you connect or pair the R-10SWi with the Klipsch R-15PM monitors?

This subwoofer will not work with the Wireless Control Center. The R-10SWi is intended for use with receivers and amplifiers with LFE RCA outputs.

zachary Aug 07, 2022 (Staff)

jon Jul 12, 2022

Will this sub work with the following setup: Yamaha RX-V385, Klipsch RP4000F, RP 400C, and R-51M for surround?

The R-15PM only offers a single-channel RCA output for connecting a subwoofer. It would be necessary to use an RCA Y-adapter to split the subwoofer output for two subs. This will be the case whether we use the wireless transmitters or RCA cables. Here's an example of an RCA Y-adapter for this application: www.crutchfield.com/p_703M22F/item.html

what is a typical low pass setting for home theater ?

It should work fine .I have all RP klipsch speakers with a sony 1080 receiver and it works great with non BLOATING bass. Just make sure to set the crossovers to blend with the speakers.

tony Apr 11, 2022

Yes, it will work with any receiver or powered speaker that has a "sub-out" or line level outputs. The wireless module plugs in to the back of the source and delivers the signal to the sub. I think your connection is referred to as "Pre Out Subwoofer" Easy hookup and works great.

edward Apr 11, 2022

thomas e Apr 09, 2022

I have an Onkyo TX 2500 100 watt receiver. Bought 2 RP160 M speakers from you last week, they work great. Will the Klipsch R-10swi powered subwoofer work with my setup?

The best setting will come down to the exact components, space, and personal listening preferences. Most home theater receivers include a calibration setup and speaker settings menu that will help you tweak your sub and other speakers to best match your space and taste.

can i use a polk subwoofer to with this klipsch sub?with out the transmitter.i wound like to no if i can use it with the polk thank you.

Wow that receiver is an oldie but goodie. You would have to look at back to see if there is a plug-in that says sub or subwoofer, if that is present then it should work just fine.

Will this sub work with the Klipsch HD Wireless system?

You can, it does have pre-amp inputs but I've never used them. It works perfectly with the bluetooth. It's in a corner on the opposite side of my room, I bought it because I didn't want to run the wires.

scott Jan 08, 2022

Yup, just fine. I don't use mine wireless, I just needed to get it a little farther from my turntable cause this thing rocks!

I don't see anyplace to hook up wires.

tommie Jan 08, 2022

mark Dec 19, 2021

Do we see any latency problems or loosing bass/sound when using wireless?

You plug the sub into an outlet for power, there is a module that plugs into sub port on receiver for wireless sub hook up, I would guess it would work

timothy Dec 19, 2021

As long as you have the adapters yes. I am using the wireless for my sub.

mike Dec 19, 2021

Im using it on an old Sony receiver STR-DH750 and it works flawlessly. Maybe compare receivers.

jose Dec 16, 2021

Not at all. It sounds great.

ricardo Dec 16, 2021

Been using it for over a year with wireless and have had no issues with latency or otherwise. You can adjust threshold levels on the speaker as well as with your amp. If you have a good receiver/amplifier, you're probably going to be fine.

I have not noticed a decrease in sound quality using wireless. I have a Samsung Notes phone and with Apple music and so far everything works well.

webster Dec 16, 2021

robert patrick Sep 01, 2021

Do you guys sell the transmitter that originally come with this speaker?

I can't say for certain but it seems like most amplifiers receivers are compatible with a standard subwoofer like the one from Klipsch. Best of luck

heriberto Sep 07, 2021

I have mine kooked up to a onkyo rz 820, no problems.

dennis edward Sep 04, 2021

It should. I looked your receiver up and it looks like there should be two 'subwoofer pre out' jacks on the back. Most newer equipment have these - as does my Yamaha RX V677. This sub really pairs well with my Klipsch RP 280F's that I purchased from Crutchfield also.

michael Sep 04, 2021

I don't see why this wouldn't work with your receiver. It was very easy to set up with my Yamaha receiver and all receivers usually have the necessary connections to work with a subwoofer. I used this wireless Klipsch subwoofer to connect to a second SVS subwoofer that is wired directly to the Yamaha receiver in the front of the room. The Klipsch came with a wireless receiver/dongle that plugged into my SVS subwoofer and communicates in unison with the SVS subwoofer perfectly.

ernest Sep 04, 2021

steven Aug 21, 2021

Will this subwoofer work with the Harman Kardon Enchant 800?

Hi Steven, thanks for your question. I'm sorry, no. We don't carry the individual parts. You may be able to find one used on the web, or contact Klipsch directly. Their customer service number is 800-554-7724. Good luck.

Can I connect the subwoofer to two different inputs: the transmitter to my home theater and the LTE input to a Fender powered speaker? I will not use both at the same time but I want to switch between the two when doing karaoke. Thank you

I am sorry bit it will not. It is not a bluetooth subwoofer

gary Jul 20, 2021

roberto Jun 22, 2021

New to Subwoofers, is this compatable with a Yamaha R-N303? I don't see an LFE port...

Yes, you can send two signals, one on the wireless and one on the wired channel in the back. They will actually play at the same time if they are both on. However, there is only one gain/volume knob on the back so any leveling with the mains would need to be done at the amp, at least for one of the two signals, or manually. I've been really happy with this unit. Easily fills up a modest 400sf room. So impressed with the output and price I bought a second one for my son.

james Jun 23, 2021

I suppose you could. There is the wireless function that had a transmitter that you plug in to your amp or receiver. There are also RCA connectors on the subwoofer so I guess you could wire them to sometime else.

robert Jun 22, 2021

gary Jun 17, 2021

Do I need to buy any thing else for it or can i just set it up with what it comes with in this box?

Gary, The LFE Port is the number 1 input (L) on the Line In Ports on the left back side of the sub woofer looking at it from the front. You will see the letters LFE next to the L input connector.

lawrence Jun 17, 2021

No it looks like your amp does not have a subwoofer out. You would need a subwoofer that takes speaker out. Then you would run speaker wires to the sub from the amp then from the sub to the speakers.

If your receiver or preamp has a subwoofer output port you should be good.

arthur Jun 02, 2021

No you don't. It's totally wireless. Should have a power cord, an RT for the woofer and and one for your unit

wesley Jun 02, 2021

You will need a cable to connect to your amp. Other then that your good to go

craig s Jun 02, 2021

If you are using the wireless adapter, then you need nothing else. If you want to plug it in using LFE, then you need to buy a subwoofer cable.

Your 6000A is not set up for a power sub. This power sub has it's own amp. Unless you have a receiver / amp that has a dedicated / LFE I would have to say no! That said, I would call the Techs at Crutchfield, an ask them!

How do I hookup sub to Adcom GTP450 preamp with no sub line output?

Yes it'll work perfectly

sandy Dec 29, 2020

Yes, generally speaking receivers will support virtually all speakers from major manufacturers, and there should be no compatibility issues. For example, I have connected my Denon receiver with a combination of JBL in-wall speakers, the R-10SWi subwoofer and the Klipsch RP-250C center channel. Technophiles may not like to mix and match speakers but I am not as picky. If you want to be 100% sure, you need to check that the Onkyo receiver will accept the impedance of the speakers that you would like to use. Just do a google search for "speaker impedance matching". Or, simply call the Crutchfield sales team. I have found them to be very knowledgeable.

pavan Dec 29, 2020

ben Dec 25, 2020

This can be connected to a preamp output on an audio preamplifier as it has a loss-pass filter built into it to limit the audio.

If your soundbar has a subwoofer output it shouldn't be a problem. You would probably need a subwoofer cable.

I think you need better help than I can give you. I do know that a phono cartridge does not put out much of a signal and usually needs some amplification.

Will the R-10SWi interfere with the Yamaha Music Cast wireless speakers I'm using as surrounds?

Yep! Wired via the sub out on the back of the unit or the transmitter, which also plugs into the sub out. Hope this helps.

byron dean Sep 21, 2020

Can the wireless transmitted be used with other Klipsch subwoofers?

Byron Dean M.: I cannot comment regarding Yamaha Music Cast, and all my home theater speakers - other than the Klipsch subwoofer - are hard-wired. I do, however, use Chromecast to input signals to my Onkyo (from both Android and Apple sources) and have had no interference issues whatsoever with the Klipsch. Good luck!

The Klipsch subwoofer comes with a small wireless box (optional) powered by a micro-usb (included) and it works by plugging its one RCA male into the RCA female subwoofer spot on the Denon then automatically connects to the subwoofer wirelessly. It works for me. I never tried the Denon wireless directly to the Klipsch.

How does the auto-on/auto-off feature work? Will it automatically turn off if the wireless adapter is on but the receiver is off?

Gabriel, I am unclear what you are trying to do. The subwoofer is either directly connected to the receiver via subwoofer cable or wirelessly. Mine is connect wirelessly and it works great. Your floor speaks would also be connected to your receiver. The subwoofer will work with any speaker, just a matter of what you prefer to listen to.

Yes.

bruce Feb 16, 2020

The auto-on/off feature works by detecting an audio signal being transmitted by the wireless adapter, which is always on. The sub will deactivate after a period of time with no detectable signal. In my case, that circuit became unreliable over time and the sub activated and deactivated continually, so I had to disable auto-on/off, unfortunately.

john Feb 12, 2020

I cannot answer your question as I do not own this subwoofer.

william Feb 12, 2020

Yes, it will auto off when the receiver is off. The auto on/off is controlled by the signal level coming from the receiver to the adapter. If the adapter is on but is not seeing a signal from the receiver it will shut the sub down.

melissa Feb 12, 2020

yes turns on and of by audio coming through

Can this unit be place on its side instead of legs for space considerations? Would rather not have furniture so far from wall.

bruce Dec 31, 2019

if the receiver( sub out) has RCA plugs left and right where does the wireless receiver plug in as it has one wire or this subwoofer cant be used ?

I don't see any reason why you couldn't, but be aware that there are four foot pads on the bottom (looks like they can easily be removed with a screwdriver (important to have those on to prevent vibrations). Also note there is an airport in the back, so you will need some space for the back blow-out..

Can this, or any other wi-fi subwoofer, be paired with the Sony HT-ST5000 soundbar?

I cannot answer this question, but I have two comments: (1) I find it very hard to believe this subwoofer cannot be used with your receiver, I just don't know which plug to use, HOWEVER (2) I have never heard of "L" and "R" subwoofer output jacks - I do not believe sound waves at this frequency are stereophonic or directional - please make sure they are not actually inputs for two separate subwoofers #1 and #2 (which is what I have).

bruce Dec 16, 2019

We would have to check the receiver's setup to be sure but if your receiver is designed so that both of those preamp outputs need to be used with one sub, then Josh's idea of using an RCA Y adapter is the solution. Feel free to contact an advisor on 1-800-324-9695 to discuss this and check

jason Dec 13, 2019 (Staff)

My receiver has a single RCA plug on the back called Sub Woofer Pre out which I plug the sign RCA jack into... check to see if the TWO RCA subs you have are to allow of TWO (2) different subwoofers for you system and you would just plug into one of them. Two RCA plugs doesn't make sense to me for a subwoofer because there is not a left and right channel for the subwoofer.

glenn Dec 12, 2019

The manual of the receiver "should" tell you which you should use if you're only using one sub. It's a pretty common thing to only have one sub. Or you can buy a "y" adapter, that would work too.

I actually have two of these subwoofers - one in my upstairs "media room" which is about 15'x18' and one downstairs in a cabinet in my living room area (not ideal placement down there). In both areas, they easily fill the room with plenty of bass. The downstairs has 11' ceilings and is a big space. I also have 6 Klipsch CDT-5800-C IIs installed downstairs and they fill up the space and sound great.

Is this compatible with a Marantz NR1609 receiver and Klipsch RP4000F Speakers ? Thank you

Hello, mine was located 40 feet away and going through a double insulated wall with no issues, the sounds was awesome. The system uses the 2.4GHz signal to broadcast, which is the same type used for cordless home phones. Klipsch doesn't give range specifications, but my past experience using devices with this type of signal, I have found it works very well going through structures. Not knowing your type of brick wall--If it was me, I'd install it--I bet it will work fine. I hope this was helpful! Frank

frank Aug 07, 2019

I think so, it passed through my mother in law.

what is the shipping weight of this item?

I have two Klipsch sub's used in different applications. But in both cases, the amplifier source has an RCA-type connector for the output to the subwoofer. I have looked at the web for those Edifier speakers and I can find no documentation about what the connector is--clearly not an RCA. "LFE" does not refer to the connector type, but rather the signal type--in this case "Low Frequency Effects". Not sure what I can tell you other than perhaps get some technical advice from the Edifier folks. And the "COX" is an input to your bookshelf set--same RCA-type connector, but the signal it will receive has to be digitally encoded somewhat like what would come through the optical connector. Neither of these latter will do you any good connecting to a sub woofer.

It all depends on your amp! I run both my subs through my Yamaha RX-V673, which has connections for two subs. You won't need a wireless control center if your amp is a newer model. Hope this helps, the sub is fantastic, nice not having to hard wire them. If you have to hard wire your looking at the wrong item.

I see no reason to believe that you couldn't run two subs off of one transmitter. You press and hold the sync button for 3 seconds to pair. Just make sure both subs are powered up when syncing. Not sure that two would offer any additional benefit over one. Obe sub can give you overwhelming unidirectional bass even in a hollow room. I keep the gain on mine set around a quarter of the way up.

terry Nov 28, 2018

I don't know. Wow, the thought never even crossed my mind to use two of these. One does the trick for me and I chose to hard wire it. If you feel you need two subwoofers, maybe you should consider a larger one with more power. Remember, the low frequencies aren't directional in nature. Cheers!

I have both power outages the 240 v is used in the garage to be honest with you I use 110v for my system so I don't know I'm sorry I couldn't help

henry Nov 26, 2018

There are no markings or switches on the sub to indicate it is dual voltage.

robert e Nov 26, 2018

Kelvin, no, it is 110/120 only. The sub and the powered wireless sender are both 110/120 only.

bruce Nov 26, 2018

I live in a country with 120V/60Hz AC power. The R-10SWi I purchased last year says "AC IN 100-240V - 50/60Hz 2A" on the back (and the 2A must be a maximum spec since such would vary depending upon input voltage). Hence, at least the one I purchased is dual-voltage capable. There is no external transformer--so if you will use this with a 220/240V system, the power cord will need to have an adaptor or will have to be specified for that country.

roger Nov 26, 2018

I don't believe so. It only has a standard 110 plug.

Any chance this will work with the Samsung soundbar HW-N650??

I currently own two Klipsch Reference R-28F speakers, that are paired up with a old school 12' Kenwood powered subwoofer. The two front speakers are hard wired to the sub and the sub is hard wired to the receiver. I noticed that this Klipsch Reference R-10SWi powered subwoofer do not require this sometimes confusing hard wiring. Am I correct to believe that all I have to have to pair up with my new amazing sounding Klipsch R-28F to this sub is two cables plugged into the two subwoofer jacks along with connecting the other two ends into the designated subwoofer L&R jacks of the receiver to still get great sounding performance? Please advise...

The sub runs off your amp/receiver. If you have a sub output on your receiver, it should work fine and dramatically improve your sound.

david a. Oct 30, 2018

I expect it will. Make the connection to the transmitter and enjoy.

Can it be sent via USPS Priority Mail? I am concerned about the box size+weight being beyond the acceptable limits required for Priority Mail transport by the US Postal Service.

Connection part is correct. the great sound is subjective.

michael Mar 08, 2022

If your receiver offers a dedicated RCA subwoofer pre-amp output, absolutely, use it to connect to the audio input on the subwoofer or, in the case of the R-10SWi, it's wireless transmitter.

Is the wireless feature optional? Can it be hard wired instead?

That is an unreasonable question...

michael Mar 08, 2022

I recall mine being delivered by UPS. They are probably the better option.

Yes, I run two of these subs with one being wireless and the other hardwired

pete Dec 04, 2017

The model I have can be connected by a cable-and that's the way I have mine set up. It has a wireless transmitter, but I haven't been using it.

ryan gregory Dec 03, 2017

Yes!

robert Dec 02, 2017

I'm using a wired connection I haven't tried my wireless connection yet

dave Dec 02, 2017

It has an internal wireless receiver, but also has inputs to allow it to function as a wired subwoofer.

michael Dec 01, 2017

yes, I have it hard wired myself

david Dec 01, 2017

Yes, you can hard wire it or use the optional wireless. It will work both ways. I'm using the wireless option and it works great.

lyle Dec 01, 2017

Yes, wireless is optional. You can hard wire the sub. I own the wireless version but I am using it hard-wired.

david Dec 01, 2017

There are RCA line inputs on the back.

george w Dec 01, 2017

Yes, the wireless is optional, the sub has line in connections you can use to hard wire

jerald Dec 01, 2017

The subwoofer has a left and right RCA line in. In order to use it wired, your receiver will need preamp outputs. If your receiver has a sub output, wireless is the way to go. If your receiver has neither preamp or sub outputs, the subwoofer will not be compatible.

Yes. You have the option to hardline to your amp or receiver.

robert e Dec 01, 2017

Yes it is. Comes with a receiver and transmitter as well as standard wired connections. I always prefer hard wired connections but I was getting a "pop" when changing inputs. Did away with the wire and went wireless. Works great and it's nice to have the option. Great sounding speaker.

perry Dec 01, 2017

Yes

bill Dec 01, 2017

Yes, it is optional. I didn't use it at first, then I changed my mind. Sounds great both ways.

daniel g Dec 01, 2017

Yes thank it is, but I hear no difference with or without wire. I use 2 on my set-up wireless. Great price too! Good for movies and music , used with Denon a/v receiver set up with atmos speakers .

enrico Dec 01, 2017

It was included the purchase price you can't go wrong with Klipsch

henry Dec 01, 2017

It can be hard wired if you wish, but the wireless works so well it would be more pragmatic to use it. This is not a bluetooth connection. The unit come with it's own transmitter that plugs into the speaker output. Couldn't be easier to set up.

david a. Dec 01, 2017

The wireless feature is optional but you need to buy the sub woofer cable to connect it in the wired configuration separately.

mohit philip Dec 01, 2017

Yes. I have mine connected via cable to my AVR and have not used the wireless feature.

donald Dec 01, 2017

Can I use two Klipsch wireless subwoofer on a onkyo 656 receiver?

thang Nov 17, 2017

Could I use this sub ( R 10 SWI) with Klipsch RP 160 Bookshelf speakers and a RP 250 c center channel speaker?

yes if you have 2 different outputs, but i've also used a "y" splitter too.

paul britt Dec 08, 2021

Sure! Since your Onkyo TX-NR656 receiver is fitted with two subwoofer outputs, you can connect (up to) two of the Klipsch R-10SWi subwoofers in your system. For more details or to discuss further, feel free to get in touch with an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat. Thanks! :)

I have this sub paired with Klipsch R-15M bookshelf speakers, Klipsch R-1650 in ceiling speakers and a Denon AVR-S530BT Receiver. As long as your receiver accepts or has an input for a sub, your speakers should work with this sub.

william Sep 25, 2017

As long as your receiver has a sub output port you should be fine. Most newer receivers have a calibration function, which you'd need to do to tune for your room. I think you'll find the improvement of your audio will be incredible.

david a. Sep 23, 2017

Yes as long as you have a receiver or something that it couldn't hook up to it will work fine

kevin Sep 23, 2017

Absolutely I think you'll be very happy with this sub as long as the receiver has a pre sub Outlet I would highly recommend it

g Sep 23, 2017

I would think so. I use it with the R-15M and R-14M along with the RP250 and it adds the depth that is missing with those smaller speakers.

robert e Sep 23, 2017

can this subwoofer replace a VELODYNE DLS-R-SERIES MODEL #dls3750r SERIAL #642561212 with my velodyne i use the LFEin port to my receiver?

leonard Sep 15, 2017

Yes, you can connect to LFE port.

david h. Sep 16, 2017

Can it be used wired?

jml Jul 04, 2017

Will the wireless feature of this sub work if there is no line of sight? My amp is in an inclosed cabinet and the sub would be in the room.

yes

albert Jul 06, 2017

Yes - I've been using it wired for several months with no problem.

ryan Jul 05, 2017

Yes, it can be. My Bluetooth dongle got damaged so started using it via Wire. However, I would say if the wire is not grounded you will hear a "DUB" sound for evry song or channel change.

my amp is also in a closed cabinet and the wireless worked fine

albert Feb 17, 2017

Hi Mike, I recently purchased a complete Klipsch surround system that included this sub woofer. I have my Yamaha receiver and the R-10SWi in a entertainment cabinet. The sub is 30 feet away and it works fine. The remote aspect is Bluetooth which does not require line of sight for operation.

pete w Feb 14, 2017

Yes. This is my exact scenario. It works great. There is a slight delay, maybe 1 second, when the audio initially begins while the sub is waking up from standby mode. After this, the sound is in sync with the main drivers.

jacob j. Feb 13, 2017

Hi My situation is the same and mine works fine. My distance of separation is about 30 feet and it does fine

rick Feb 13, 2017

Yes, my amp is in a closet down the hall.

debby Feb 13, 2017

Should work just fine. My receiver is also in an enclosed cabinet and the sub is about 25 feet away, no issues what so ever.

richard Feb 13, 2017

In my experience, yes. Since it is a wireless (not infra red) connection, it behaves like a wireless router in your home network. The type and amount material obstructing the signal will dictate the signal strength received by the subwoofer.

sergei Feb 13, 2017

Not sure. Mine is across the room from the home theater receiver.

donald Feb 13, 2017

I see the MartinLogan SW2-TRD and the Klipsch R-10SWi both operate at 2.4 GHz. Will that interfere with my Siemens Gigaset 2.4GHz wireless home telephone system?
