Impact of room-modes
Every listening environment will have
specific “room-modes”, whereby in
some specific locations in the room and
at particular frequencies, the bass may
be too much or too lean. This effect will
be stronger in square and “shoe-box”
shaped rooms. With a single subwoofer,
the better position for the subwoofer
relative to the listening position will be
the one where bass is perceived to be
neither too much nor too lean at any
given frequency.
Avoid placing the subwoofer at
1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 of either the length
or width of the room as at these
locations the room-modes are likely
to be strongest (the dashed lines in
the figure)
