PLACEMENT

The output of the subwoofer is strongly affected by room

boundaries such as the floor and walls. The evenness of the

response throughout the room is also affected by the place-

ment. Because each room has its own unique acoustic

character, experimentation with placement is essential to get

the best overall performance.

Each floor or wall boundary will increase the output in the

listening area. Placing the subwoofer close to the corner of

the room will result in the strongest output, and works best

in most rooms. Placing it against the wall, away from the

corner will produce slightly less output. Placing it away from

all boundaries will produce the least.

Reflections from the various surfaces that form the room

can also result in some areas of strong bass, and others

with very weak bass due to the way the reflections interact

with the primary output. Try placing the subwoofer in a vari-

ety of locations while listening from multiple seating posi-

tions. Leave the subwoofer where the response is strong

and even from all seating positions.
