The Importance of Location
As earlier mentioned, room acoustics have an enormous impact on the sound of speakers, especially
subwoofers. A phenomenon called "standing waves" makes bass response uneven from place to place in your
room. To experience with this yourself, put on a CD with a strong, consistent bass line. Notice how the volume of
the bass goes up and down as you move around the room. Stand in one place and then squat down. You will
probably notice that the bass changes in the vertical plane as well! Because a subwoofer's location affects how
standing waves are created, the first step to getting accurate bass response is finding the right spots for your
SUB-1500 and your listening position.
