Subwoofer Positioning

Subwoofers are considered to be omnidirectional. They produce low bass frequencies that are not especially localized. The human ear does not rely on these frequencies to place sounds in space there- fore, placement is not as important as with other types of speakers. Place subwoofers along the front wall of the room approximately 2-3 feet from the corners. Expect a 3-9dB bass boost if the subwoofer is placed directly in the corner of a room (called “corner loading”). It is usually not advisable to place subwoofers directly next to the seating position in a Home Theater.
