Placing the SB26 on a Table

If your tV is placed on a table, you can place the SB26 on the table directly in front of the 
tV stand, centered with the tV screen.

 

As long as the table’s surface is flat, the SB26 will rest on its rubber feet. 

Wall Mounting the SB26

If your tV is wall mounted, you can use the included wall-mount brackets to mount the 
SB26 on the wall directly below the tV screen.

1.  determine the location on wall to place the SB26. Make 

sure that the top of the SB26 does not block your view 
of the tV screen when it is mounted on the wall.

2.  Mark the locations of the SB26 wall-mount bracket holes on the 

wall. the holes for the left and right brackets need to be spaced 
600 mm apart and are designed to accept #8 screws. the top and 
bottom holes for each bracket need to be spaced 25 mm apart.

NOTE: To ensure the SB26 to be in level, use a carpenter’s level, laser sight or 

another device to make the two sets of holes exactly at the same height.

3.  Attach the two wall-mount brackets to the wall at the locations 

you marked, using appropriate hardware for the wall’s construction 
and materials. note that the SB26 weighs 3.6 kg or 8 lbs. Be 
sure to use hardware that can support this weight.

 

4.  After making all of the connections, attach the SB26 to the brackets by sliding 

the slots in its feet onto the brackets’ vertical tabs.

Placing the Subwoofer

the performance of a subwoofer is directly related to its placement in the listening 
room and its physical position relative to the other speakers in the system. while 
it is true that our ears do not hear directional sounds at the low frequencies where 
subwoofers operate. while installing a subwoofer within the limited confines of a 
room, the reflections, standing waves and absorptions generated within the room will 
strongly influence the performance of any subwoofer system. As a result, the specific 
location of the subwoofer in the room becomes important to the amount and quality 
of bass that is produced.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the subwoofer’s rear panel is at least 150 mm or  

6” away from the wall to allow proper operation of its port tube opening.
