Low-Pass Control

The IW-28 SUB has a front-mounted control that selects 
or bypasses the speaker’s built-in Low-Pass crossover. Set 
this to the “off” position when connected to the SA-180 
or other amplifier. In this case, the receiver is used to 
control the low pass filtering.  

Set it to “on” only when using it in the “passive” mode, powered by 2 chan-
nels of amplification.

IR Knockout

There is an IR “knockout” plug in the upper right corner 
of the baffle behind the logo. If you need, you can install 
a standard IR receiver in the knockout hole.

Should you have any questions or problems please contact us at 781-762-

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 The power recommendation for this speaker 

assumes that you will not operate your amplifier/receiver in a way 
that produces distortion. Even rugged speakers like ours can be dam-
aged by an amplifier driven into audible distortion. The harsh ampli-
fier distortion (“clipping”) that occurs in this situation will eventually 
cause damage to the speaker system. This type of damage may be 
cumulative and can build up over time, as the amplifier is driven into 
overload again and again. Such damage is easily identifiable through 
examination of the damaged speaker’s voice coil and is not covered 
by the warranty.

Specifications are those in effect at the time of printing. As part of our ongoing program of 

continuous product improvement, Atlantic Technology reserves the right to change specifications
