General Placement Guidelines
(continued)
• Due to the nature of room acoustics,
experiment with different listening
location(s), as well as loudspeaker loca-
tions, to obtain the best sound at low
frequencies.
• For best results, place the Concerta B12
subwoofer(s) near solid walls to rein-
force bass response, and avoid
windows which can rattle and transmit
sound to the outside world.
• The use of two properly placed
Concerta B12 subwoofers will result in
smoother low frequency response and
more consistent sound throughout the
listening area.
• If you plan to use two B12 subwoofers
and you cannot make high-resolution
measurements, try placing the
subwoofers at diagonally-opposite
corners as shown in Figure 7 (right), or
at the mid-points of opposite walls, as
shown in Figure 8 (right) and Figure 9
(page 15). Use of a modeling program
or trial-and-error measurements to
further determine the best locations is
recommended. Using precise measure-
ments to determine subwoofer place-
ment will minimize response dips due
to standing wave cancellation. See
your Revel dealer for assistance.
• For large rooms (greater than 2,000 to
3,000 cubic feet or 57 to 85 cubic
meters) consider adding one or more
B12 subwoofers for more bass output
and lower distortion.
