Note:
If you’re using a surround receiver, processor, or amplifier that includes bass
management functions (such as speaker distance settings) or an auto set up
program, using this feature is not necessary; leave the switch in the 0 (up) position.
Though your Origin Acoustics subwoofer will provide high-quality, high-impact
bass from a wide variety of locations, its placement in the room can greatly affect
its performance. Thankfully, our ears have a hard time localizing where bass
frequencies originate from, which makes subwoofers noticeably more placement-
flexible than full-range speakers. Following these general guidelines—along
with some fine-tuning and experimentation—will maximize your subwoofer’s
performance potential.
Subwoofer Placement
Start by placing your subwoofer on the floor and along the same wall as your
front speakers so that it is between one of these speakers its adjacent sidewall. If
possible, limit the distance between your subwoofer and speaker so that they are
no more than 6 - 8 feet away from each other. This will help create a better blend
between your subwoofer and the main channel speakers, resulting in a more
uniform soundstage and improved imaging qualities.
