Subwoofer Placement Cautions
PLACE THE SUBWOOFER CABINET ON A STABLE, FLAT AND LEVEL SURFACE. An uneven or unstable surface can cause the
subwoofer to tip over and cause injury and/or be damaged. This type of surface can also result in buzzing and rocking sounds that could
make the subwoofer sound broken. Protruding objects from the surface or an uneven surface could cause damage to the speaker cone in
down-firing subwoofers.
DO NOT CREATE A TRIP HAZARD WITH THE POWER CORDS. Route power, audio and microphone cables so that persons walking in the
room don’t trip on them. Route the power cord so that it will not be walked on, pinched or compressed in any way that could result in
damaging the insulation or wire.
DO NOT BLOCK THE TUNED PORT. A port may be located on the back, front, or bottom of the cabinet. A cabinet with a downward-firing port
or passive radiator uses the complete available periphery for radiation, so block this opening as minimally as possible.
PLACE THE SUBWOOFER ON THE FLOOR. If the subwoofer is placed on a stand, bracket, tripod, table or similar device, it could fall or be
knocked over causing injury and/or damage to the subwoofer and other items.
KEEP THE SUBWOOFER IN ITS UPRIGHT POSITION. Using, shipping or otherwise storing the subwoofer in any other position for an
extended period of time may result in damage to the unit that is not covered by the product warranty.
KEEP THE SUBWOOFER FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM A TV TO PREVENT COLOR DISTORTION. Some TVs are particularly sensitive to
stray magnetic fields, such as those caused by the magnet in the subwoofer. If your television produces distorted colors after installing your
subwoofer, simply increase the distance between the subwoofer and your TV or video monitor.
