AudioSource LS300 SW 300 Powered Subwoofer, Speaker Placement, Speaker Mounting, Set-UpDiagram

Speaker Placement

The center channel speaker should be placed as close as possible to the TV, preferably either directly on top of or below it. This locks the sound to the picture. Place the front speakers near the front corners of the room, either on a bookshelf or wall-mounted. Positioning near a corner enhances bass performance. Place the surround speakers either to the side of, or behind, your listening position. Typical placement is on the side walls, slightly above ear level, about two-thirds of the way back from the front of the room. This allows the surround speakers to aim directly at the listener, placing you in the middle of a five-speaker sound field.

Speaker Mounting

The LS 300 speakers include U-shapedbrackets to mount the speakers to the wall. For safety, always mount these speakers on a wall that is reinforced from behind. Never mount a speaker on a wall made of unreinforced drywall or plasterboard. If you are unsure, consult a professional contractor. These speakers can also be placed on bookshelves and most types of speaker stands.

SW 300 Powered Subwoofer

About Subwoofers

Subwoofers are designed to extend the bass response of your system beyond the limitations of most speakers. They are used in conjunction with, not in place of, your existing left and right speakers. A subwoofer can dramatically enhance a stereo TV, a stereo system, or a full fledged home theater.

Features of the SW 300

The AudioSource SW 300 features a highly efficient ported enclosure, a rugged 6.5-inch reinforced driver and a fifty-watt amplifier with a passive low frequency crossover network. Line level inputs and speaker inputs and outputs are provided for fast and easy connection to virtually any system.

Using the Controls

Power

The power switch has two positions: off and on. When the power LED is lit, the power is on.

Level

The level control adjusts the volume of the SW 300. Once set, the level control should not require further adjustment. Begin with the level control at the min- imum position. Slowly increase the level until you can hear the subwoofer. A subwoofer playing too loud can give your system

a muddy sound, so be sure to balance the subwoofer carefully with your other speakers.

Note: Output level is relative and can be different from location to location. Always return to the normal listen- ing location to evaluate any setting changes.
