4. If the subwoofer is located in front of the listeners (next to the front
speakers), set the phase to 0
. If it is located behind them (next to the rear
speakers) set it to 180
.
You can further optimize the subwoofer phase in the following way: after
choosing the location of the subwoofer:
Sit at the center of the main listening area
Play a 80Hz signal through your audio system
Measure dBSPL in both 0 and 180 degrees settings (using your ears
(loudness) or via an application or a dB meter)
Whichever setting is louder (higher dBSPL) is the recommended setting to
use.
5. Set the Crossover frequency knob to the lower range of the main speakers
(if the main speakers have a frequency response of 100Hz to 20kHz set the
crossover frequency to 100Hz).
6. Turn the volume all the way down.
7. Play a track with deep bass and rich in low frequencies.
8. Listen to the bass line and set the
Tavor 8-Sub
volume to the point where
the bass sounds most balanced. The subwoofer should not be louder
compared to the rest of the system; it might sound muddy
or ‘boomy’.
9. Fine tune the
Tavor 8-Sub
volume and crossover frequency where it sounds
best and blends smoothly with the rest of the speakers
’ sound.
