Placing the subwoofer away from walls will provide the least reinforcement,

making the bass sound subjectively thinner than if the woofer were closer to

a wall. Good results can usually be obtained by placing a subwoofer along a

wall 1-3 feet from a corner. Experiment with placement of the subwoofer and

the sub-amplifier controls to achieve the proper bass balance.

It is important the signal being sent to the subwoofer be a non-boosted

or “flat” signal. To be sure of this, check the settings on your receiver or

processor to determine any “bass boost”, “super bass” or “loudness” is set

to Off. In most cases for home theater setting a receiver or processor will

determine the crossover frequency through bass management settings. In this

configuration connect the receiver or processor to the LFE Line Level Input.

Your subwoofer can now reproduce the bass frequencies the way they were

originally recorded. Use the subwoofer level control and the individual bass

management control within the receiver or processor to adjust the subwoofers

volume if necessary. Once set, the volume controls should not need to be

altered as the subwoofers volume will coincide with the master volume control

of your receiver or processor.
