Locating the PS112
Always provide adequate ventilation for the PS112 Pow-
ered Subwoofer. Cool operation ensures the longest pos-
sible life for any electronic instrument. An installation
should provide at least 2 inches spacing on all sides of the
PS112, so that airflow is not obstructed.
The optimal method for selecting speaker locations in-
cludes the use of a real time spectrum analyzer (RTA) oper-
ated by an experienced system installer. An uncompromis-
ing installation would take into consideration the floor,
wall and ceiling coverings, the type and placement of furni-
ture and can even include the architectural design of the
room and its construction materials. The frequencies repro-
duced by the PS112 Powered Subwoofer are non-direc-
tional. The PS112 does not have to be placed aiming di-
rectly at the listener; however, it will sound best located
toward the front of the room and away from corners. Refer
to figure 2.
