• Have a clear line of sight from your
listening position to the cubes.
• If the cubes are fairly close to
the listener (3-4 ft.), it’s best to
have them at ear level. For
greater cube/listener distances,
try placing them down on the
floor, up near the ceiling or
anywhere in between.
• Use your imagination, and try
different locations for the cubes—
on window sills, for example, or on
a bookshelf as shown.
• The ear cannot locate the source of
low-bass, so the subwoofer does
not have to be very close to the
cubes. It can be hidden by furni-
ture. The face of the subwoofer
must be at least 4 inches from the
nearest vertical surface, however.
• If you can’t place the woofer on
the floor against a wall as shown,
the subwoofer’s output will
decrease. Advance the Bass
Level Control to compensate.
• Set the Bass Level control for best
bass balance, then forget it. It is not
intended to be adjusted regularly to
compensate for differences in
recordings.
For recorded performers to
appear “on stage” in front of
you, place the cubes to form a
roughly equal-sided triangle
with your favorite listening
position. But by all means,
take advantage of their tiny
size and experiment liberally
with their placement (see text
for suggestions).
Place the subwoofer on the floor against a
wall (surfaces that acoustically support the
bass). Placing it out from the wall and/or up
on a shelf could result in disappointing bass
performance (see text).
