Dual L6SW, L8SW Placement

Placement

Your DUAL subwoofer can be placed in many convenient

locations in your home, but must be placed on the floor. Do

not attempt an installation that would elevate the subwoofer

above floor level. You should experiment with various place-

ments. Room Acoustics can produce large apparent differ-

ences in the sound for small changes in the placement

location and adjustments to subwoofer controls. For

Example, directing the woofer of a forward firing sub toward

one’s typical listening position and adjusting the low pass

filter to 150 Hz can make the sub very directional. This

means you perceive exactly where the sub is located within

the room. This is not a desirable result for the most realistic

audio experience.

The common thinking regarding subwoofer placement and

performance is to position and adjust the subwoofer in such

a way that the subwoofers low frequencies encompasses

the entire room with deep powerful bass and provides the

most realistic imaging experience. The amount of bass per-

ceived increases as you move the subwoofer closer to an

intersecting wall surface and the highest level of bass

results are realized from placement in a corner, but should

be no closer than 3" from the wall surface. The floor and

corner placement (loading) are actually an important part of

the Subwoofer’s design. Attempt to place the subwoofer in

or near the corner closest to your system's receiver to

ensure the shortest possible wire or cable runs, which will

result in superior performance.
