Impact of room-modes

Every listening environment will have specific “room-modes”, whereby in some specific locations in the room and at particular frequencies, the bass may be too much or too lean. This effect will be stronger in square and “shoe-box” shaped rooms. With a single subwoofer, the better position for the subwoofer relative to the listening position will be the one where bass is perceived to be neither too much nor too lean at any given frequency.

Avoid placing the subwoofer at 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 of either the length or width of the room as at these locations the room-modes are likely to be strongest (the dashed lines in the figure)

Note: Always position subwoofers at least 1 mtr/3 ft away from a CRT television as the magnetic field emanating from the subwoofer may otherwise distort the picture. If you see discoloration on the television screen, try moving the subwoofer and other speakers close by away from the television.
