INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Overview

Proper installation of the Episode® ELE Sub powered subwoofer requires these basic steps:

1. 

Place the subwoofer in the room. (Page 4)

2. 

Make connections to the system. (Pages 5 & 6)

3. 

Fine tune the subwoofer for the best sound quality and operation. (Page 7)

Review the options for each step and use the best method for the application. After installation is complete, test the 

system thoroughly to ensure reliability and sustained sound quality. If the subwoofer will not function or perform 

as expected, make sure that installation was completed correctly and check the Troubleshooting Steps before 

contacting Episode® for assistance. 

Placing the Subwoofer

Subwoofer placement can have an effect on the performance that you receive. All rooms are different, but the 

strongest output will likely occur if the subwoofer is placed in a corner of the room on the same wall as the 

front channel speakers. This is known as the boundary effect and will emphasize certain bass frequencies while 

canceling others. Some listeners will find this to be the best sounding result, while others may find it “boomy” or 

muddy. Experiment with the placement options available to you and use the tuning instructions that follow in the 

“Installation” section of this manual.
