Speaker Placement
Location Considerations
Choosing the location for the subwoofer is a very important consideration.
Since the IWTS-28 SUB can't easily be moved once it’s installed (!), very
careful consideration should be given to its placement. In general, the clean-
est and most articulate delivery of bass energy into the room occurs when
the subwoofer is placed asymmetrically with respect to the room’s dimen-
sions. (see fig. 1). Such placement generally results in the best overall bal-
ance of bass impact vs. ‘one-note boom.’

If you are using two 28 SUB modules, follow the same advice: locate them
asymmetrically within the room (i.e. one near a corner, one towards the
middle of a wall) to smooth out the bass and minimize random standing
wave patterns. (see fig. 2)
