When used in a music system, the subwoofer integrates more consistently with the
main speakers when placed behind the plane of the speakers or in a corner of the room
behind the main speakers. If you are using the Thor’s Hammer in conjunction with a
Wilson Controller, careful setup using the Phase control and the Low and High Pass fil-
ters (see Controller owner’s manual) is necessary to optimize low bass performance and
to ensure proper integration with the main loudspeakers.
Note: If you are using a meter to measure bass output from your Thor’s Hammer,
please be aware of the following regarding the interpretation of measurements:
A. Use “slow” meter response ballistics to help average out the reading… and to
keep from going crazy trying to read it!
B. Ears and meters are not directly interchangeable. They neither sample nor pro-
cess the sound in a completely analogous manner (see Figure 7).
Summary
In summary, for optimal tonal balance accuracy, resolution of low level detail,
and soundstaging performance, the Thor’s Hammer Subwoofer should be positioned as
outlined in this section. If you are using a Wilson Controller, final setup of Thor’s Ham-
mer is contained in the Controller manual. By following the guidelines in this manual
and the Controller manual, your new Thor’s Hammer Subwoofer can provide you with a
lifetime of pure music reproduction.
