The subwoofer should be placed on the floor. Its loca-
tion in the room affects its output. The output increases
the closer the subwoofer is placed to the intersection
of walls and floors (see diagrams).
Some Advantages Of Corner Placement: Corner
placement also provides the most consistent output
from deep bass to upper bass. Since corner place-
ment “forces” more of the bass energy toward the cen-
ter of the room, you can operate the subwoofer at a
lower overall gain setting than if it was in the middle of
a wall. This reduces the amount of bass someone in a
nearby room will hear.
Other locations: Any position in a room can be used,
but a position away from the intersection of two room
surfaces has two drawbacks. The subwoofer will not
achieve as strong an output as near a wall, and the
output across the subwoofer’s range will be less con-
sistent.

Ventilation: Because the subwoofer requires
ventilation, do not place it inside a wall
unit or any piece of furniture. Also, don’t
place it near heat sources or against furni-
ture, draperies or other material that will block the free
flow of air from around the subwoofer.
