PLACEMENT OR POSITIONING
Your new subwoofer will work well in a variety of locations. However, place-
ment in your listening room will affect is performance. Because the sound you
hear is combination of direct sound from the speaker and reflected sound from
the wall, ceiling and floor of your listening room, placement of the subwoofer
in relation to room boundaries changes the balance of what you hear at low
frequencies. As a general rule, locating your subwoofer near the corner of the
room will increase its overall output. A middle of the room location would sug-
gest the smoothest response with the least output capability. Of course, any
location will be a compromise between acoustic performance and the aesthetic
blend of the subwoofer enclosure with the decor and furnishings of your room.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with the location of your subwoofer in your room
for the best results at your listening position. As with any other listening test, use
program material that you are familiar with that has substantial bass content.
