Advanced Setup
The orbitsound T9 is easy to set up and enjoy, but even better sound can be achieved
by following these guidelines.
1. Positioning: getting the most from spatial stereo
The spatial stereo sound field is produced by the speakers in the sides of the
soundbar. These stereo signals interact with the main signal (front) to produce true
stereo in your listening environment:
Spatial generation zones
IMPORTANT: The areas marked need to be clear of obstacles in order for the
spatial stereo sound field to work properly.
HINT: Because Orbitsound produces a uniform stereo sound field, the soundbar does
not need to be placed directly in front of the listener. Therefore, placing the soundbar
conveniently so that the sides are not obstructed is more important than central
placement, i.e. on low or high shelf, countertop, below/above TV
2. Subwoofer placement:
Subwoofer placement does not affect the overall sound much. Position the
subwoofer after optimising placement of the soundbar.
HINT: The sound output from the subwoofer is omni directional, so this can be placed
anywhere. However, try to avoid placing the subwoofer too far from the soundbar as this
can cause a noticeable ‘separation’ effect. A good place is behind or beside your TV. For
standalone operation, try the subwoofer on the floor, next to the shelf or table that hte T9
is on.
IMPORTANT: Always make sure that the subwoofer’s side with a port (rear) is
clear from obstruction. Facing the nearest wall or corner of a room with the
open port sometimes increases the bass effect.
