Placement     13

Generally, subwoofers have the most output when placed in

the corner of a room. However, this can also exaggerate the

subwoofers output making blending difficult. We recom-

mend starting by placing the Depth in a corner. It should

be placed in such a way that there are 2 inches between the

grill cloth and the wall. This will avoid blocking the output

of any woofers. If, after the full range of tuning techniques

have been employed, the subwoofer sounds like it has too

much upper bass energy try pulling it away from the wall,

toward the listening position. This will lessen the reinforce-

ment of these problematic frequencies from the wall and

likely smooth out the response. Repeat the tuning techniques

with the woofer controls after you move it (see figure 15).

Installing the Depth in a Cabinet

Occasionally people need to place their subwoofer(s) inside

of cabinetry. The Depth’s unique, three-woofer design does

not compromise the Depth’s ability to be successfully

installed in such a configuration. However, it is recommend-

ed that the Depth, as with any quality multi-driver subwoofer,

has a minimum of three inches of open space between the

cabinet and the front, left and right sides (see figure 16).

Ask Your Dealer

Your MartinLogan dealer can suggest many options for

optimal subwoofer placement. They also have many tools

at their disposal, such as experience, familiarity with the

associated equipment and even sound analysis equipment

which may make the task of determining optimal subwoofer

placement easier.

Enjoy Yourself

The Depth is a very refined subwoofer and will benefit

from care in setup. With the above placement tips in mind

you will find, over months of listening, that small changes

can result in measurable differences. As you live with your

subwoofer, do not be afraid to experiment with positioning

until you find the optimal relationship between your room,

settings and subwoofer that gives you the best results. Your

efforts will be rewarded.
