In theory the best position for the SBX subwoofer is midway between

satellite speakers, with its front facing forward and in the same plane as the

onts of the satellite speakers. However, due to the fact that low bass

equencies are somewhat non-directional, you may locate the SBX quite far

from this position without any detrimental effect on the sound reproduction.

Each room is different in ac ustic properties, so please feel free to experiment

with placement. Different positions of the SBX

to walls will affect its

efficiency, as well as the room’s overall influencerelationthe frequency response. You can compensate for this by readjusting the filter settings (see section, “Setting the Subwoofer LPF and the Satellites HPF”).
