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.
