Placement — Continued
Here are guidelines for placing your subwoofer:
1. We recommend that, if possible, the subwoofer be located somewhere in the vicinity of the
front speakers rather than in the rear of your room.
2. Placement near a wall will increase your subwoofer’s bass output. Placement
near or in a corner will increase it even further.
3. Experimentation is encouraged. Try as many different positions as you like.
4. Play a song or movie with a continuous heavy bass track. Generally we prefer natural bass,
perhaps from an acoustic bass or a kick drum. For each position you are trying, walk around
the room and hear where the bass is louder and quieter. Pick the position that provides the
most even distribution and best quality of bass among your seating positions. Always trust
your ear; what sounds best to you is the right choice.
5. Caution: The amplifier on the back of subwoofer creates heat and needs ample ventilation.
Do not place the woofer directly against a wall; make sure that there is always a few inches of
air space behind the woofer for cooling purposes. Also, be careful when placing the subwoofer
in any kind of equipment enclosure. Make sure that there is air space on the top and sides for
proper ventilation and to prevent overheating. If the air flow is limited, we strongly suggest
cutting holes in your equipment cabinet to allow for adequate ventilation.
For additional suggestions about placing your subwoofer, please consult your subwoofer’s
owner’s manual.
