Boston Acoustics HPS10HO owner manual Unpacking the System, Placement Options

Unpacking the System

Carefully unpack the subwoofer. If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or de- livery service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use. Be sure to keep your purchase receipt in a safe place, as it may be required for warranty purposes.

HPS 10HO, HPS 10SE and HPS 12HO subwoofers with removable feet.

Placement Options

Place the subwoofer next to a wall or in a corner near your main speakers. The sound is typically best when the subwoofer is within 15 feet (4.5m) of the main speakers. The sharp 24dB/octave crossover roll-off permits placement farther from the main speakers if necessary. Since the ear is unable to localize the low frequencies of the subwoofer, the bass still appears to come from the main speakers. Experimentation is key, however most positions in the room will work well.

The level of bass output from the subwoofer will vary at different positions in a room. When placed near walls, its loudness is emphasized. Corner placement provides the most bass output. Placement completely away from walls may produce too little bass. Regardless of the natural bass level within the room you will always have the ability to adjust the level of the subwoofer from the built in volume control. If at any time you move the subwoofer be sure to check all of your settings.

The foot on the rear of the subwoofer can be removed to produce a slight backward tilt. Remove the thumbscrew from the back of the foot to remove it. It is slotted for easy removal with a screwdriver or a coin.

IMPORTANT: Do not place the subwoofer where there is a chance of contact between the rear panel and drapes or furniture.
