3. WHERE TO PLACE YOUR SUBWOOFER

M&K Subwoofers perform well in most room locations. Unless your ear is a foot or two away from the Subwoofer, you will hear the deep bass coming exclusively from your Satellite (or main) speakers. There is no need to place your Subwoofer in-between the Satellite speakers.

For the best performance, we recommend that your subwoofer be placed against a wall, preferably in a corner.

The ideal place for the subwoofer is the corner with the best structural strength. If the corners are roughly equal in construction, use the corner nearest the listening position. If the listening position is in the front half of the room, place the subwoofer in a front corner. If the listening position is in the back of the room, place the subwoofer in a back corner.

Feel free to experiment with the orientation of the subwoofer cabinet. Sometimes the best sound results from aiming the subwoofer's front driver directly into the wall (1" to 2" from the wall itself).

If possible, avoid corners near doorways or openings.

Another option to find the best location for the subwoofer is to place the subwoofer at the listening position and walk around the room. Stand in and near each corner. The location where you hear the tightest bass with the most impact is probably the best location in the room for the subwoofer.

If you are using multiple subwoofers, place them in the same location. Stacking is best, but you can also put them side by side.

Alternately, you can put multiple subwoofers in different locations. This is appropriate when you have limited choices in locating the subwoofer and none of the available locations work well. Try to place multiple subwoofers at equal distances from the listening position to avoid phase cancellation.
