A Few Words about Subwoofers

Subwoofers are designed to extend the bass response of your system beyond the limitations of most speakers. This unit is to be used in conjunction with, not in place of, your existing left and right speakers. The low frequency sounds reproduced by the subwoofer will radiate equally in all directions. It is not neces- sary to have a pair of subwoofers. A single subwoofer can dramatically enhance a stereo TV, a stereo system, or a full fledged home theater.

The advent of digital recording has increased the amount of low frequency information found on recorded material. Subwoofers are designed to accurately reproduce this bass. Similarly, most movies intended for home viewing feature bass well below the musical range of traditional loudspeakers. However, this information is vital to the impact, ambiance, and believability of a scene. A subwoofer enhances those elements in your home theater.

Placement Guidelines

Prior to installing your new AudioSource subwoofer, please consider the following guidelines. Placing the subwoofer near a wall or in a corner will greatly increase its bass response. As frequencies reproduced by sub- woofers are long and need room to propagate, a subwoofer placed near the listening position will not sound as full as one placed farther away.

Finally, the cabinet of your AudioSource subwoofer is designed to blend in with most decors. If you decide to place anything directly atop your subwoofer, please use great caution, as the speaker cabinet will vibrate and items placed on top may shake loose or fall.
