POSITIONING YOUR POWERED SUBWOOFER
Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce the deep bass and deliver the impact that really makes your movies and music come alive. For optimum performance, place your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for placement. Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect upon the performance of your powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above, will increase the amount of bass output, while placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the room will decrease the amount of bass output. Experiment with a number of different placement options and control settings to find the one that best suits your particular room and taste. When choosing your subwooferÕs location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwooferÕs
