Placement

Proper placement of your new Power Sound Audio subwoofer is 
very important. Bass frequencies are non-directional, meaning 
the human ear cannot locate a properly functioning subwoofer 
in a typical home theater environment. While there are “rules of 
thumb” regarding placement options, every room is a little differ-
ent. Please remember that each time you move the subwoofer to 
a different location you should recalibrate the bass levels.

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 behind the sofa. Every room has its own set of 
acoustical challenges, so experiment with different placement op-
tions as much as time allows. 

One method that often works well (particularly if the key seating 
positions are in close proximity to one another) is to place the 
subwoofer in your key seating position and then walk around the 
room while a variety of bassy music and movies 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 are using more than one subwoofer, placing them as close 
as possible (collocate) to one another will give you the maxi-
mum 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.
