Placement
Proper placement of your new Power Sound Audio subwoofer
is very important. Bass frequencies are non-directional, mean-
ing the human ear cannot locate a properly functioning subwoof-
er in a typical home theater environment. While there are “rules
of thumb” regarding placement options, every room is a little dif-
ferent. Please remember that each time you move the subwoof-
er to a diff erent location you should recalibrate the bass levels
and experiment a little to ensure the phase setting is optimized.
Corner placement tends to work well, particularly if there are no large
openings into the room near the corner. Another popular placement
option is “nearfi eld”. Place the subwoofer as close as possible to the
key seating positions. For example, place the subwoofer directly be-
hind the sofa. Every room has its own set of acoustical challenges, so
experiment with diff erent placement options as much as time allows.
One method that often works well (particularly if the key seating po-
sitions are in close proximity to one another) is to place the subwoof-
er in your key seating position and then walk around the room while
a variety of bassy music and fi lm play through the system. Mark the
top 2 or 3 spots where the bass seems to sound best, then try the
subwoofer in those spots. If you purchased a vented subwoofer,
please maintain at least three inches of clearance between the port
opening on your subwoofer and the nearest wall or obstruction.
If you are using more than one subwoofer, placing them as close as
possible (collocate) to one another will give you the maximum clean
output capabilities, but separating them may give you smoother
overall bass response at your seating positions. Again, experiment
as much as time allows and decide which option sounds best to you.
