Cables 

 

  

Try  to  keep  them  as  short  as  possible.  By  its 
electrical  parameters,  a  long  conductor  will  have  a 
bigger  influence  on  the  sound  than  a  short  one.  It 
may  also  work  as  an  antenna  and  thus  receive 
various signals that may become a constant noise in 
an active subwoofer.  
Make  sure  that  all  connections  are  clean  and  not 
oxidized.  All  connections  should  be  mechanically 
stable,  both  power,  signal  and  loudspeaker  cables. 
Signal  cables  should  be  separated  from  other 
cables.  

     

 

Front speakers 

 

  

To  get  the  best  result  the  front  speakers  should  be 
placed  symmetrical  in  front  of  the  listener.  The 
distance  between  the  front  speakers  should  be 
around 80% of the distance to the listener. In other 
words,  the  recommended  angle  between  the  front 
speakers should be 45°. 

   

 

 

Why use 2 
Subwoofer 

 

  

There  are  more  then  one  benefits  of  having  2 
subwoofers instead of one. 
 
The sound pressure level will be higher. 
 
Less  dips  and  standing  waves  in  the  room  and  a 
better  frequency  response  in  the  room  (and  on 
sweet spot) 
 
The need of power is less, to reach the same SPL as 
with one subwoofer 

     

 

Finally 

 

  

Please  remember  that  good  sound  is  a  matter  of 
taste,  so  you  have  to  experiment  to  obtain  your 
favourite one.  
We wish you best of luck!
