Harman-Kardon SB15/230 Speaker Placement, Placing the Soundbar on a Table, Placing the Subwoofer

Speaker Placement

Placing the Soundbar on a Table

If your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table directly in front of the TV stand, centered with the TV screen.. As long as the surface of the table is flat, the soundbar will rest on its rubber bumpers..

Wall-Mounting the Soundbar

If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount brackets to mount the soundbar on the wall directly below the TV screen..

1.Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall.. Make sure that the top of the soundbar will not block your view of the TV screen when it is mounted on the wall..

2.Mark the locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the wall.. The holes for the left and right brackets are spaced 600mm apart, and are designed to accept #8 screws.. The top and bottom holes for each bracket are spaced 25mm apart.. See the illustration below..

600mm

NOTE: To ensure that the soundbar will be level, use a carpenter’s level, laser sight or other device to ensure that the two sets of holes are at exactly the same height..

3.Attach the two wall-mount brackets to the wall at the locations you marked, using hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials.. Note that the soundbar weighs 3..6kg (8 lb).. Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight..

4.After making all of the connections described in the Connections section, on page 7, attach the soundbar to the brackets by sliding the slots in its rubber bumpers onto the brackets’ vertical tabs..

Placing the Subwoofer

Since our ears do not hear directional sound at the low frequencies where the subwoofer operates, it will have good performance from just about any location in your room.. However, the strongest bass reproduction is likely to be heard when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the soundbar..

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the subwoofer’s rear panel is at least 150mm (6") from the wall, to allow proper operation of its port tube opening..

You can experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing it in the listening position and playing music with strong bass content.. Move around to various locations in the room while the system is playing and listen until you find the location where the bass performance is best.. Place the subwoofer in that location..

IMPORTANT: The maximum wireless operating distance between the soundbar and subwoofer is approximately 15..3m (50 feet)..
