Locating the PS112

Always provide adequate ventilation for the PS112 Pow- ered Subwoofer. Cool operation ensures the longest pos- sible life for any electronic instrument. An installation should provide at least 2 inches spacing on all sides of the PS112, so that airflow is not obstructed.

The optimal method for selecting speaker locations in- cludes the use of a real time spectrum analyzer (RTA) oper- ated by an experienced system installer. An uncompromis- ing installation would take into consideration the floor, wall and ceiling coverings, the type and placement of furni- ture and can even include the architectural design of the room and its construction materials. The frequencies repro- duced by the PS112 Powered Subwoofer are non-direc- tional. The PS112 does not have to be placed aiming di- rectly at the listener; however, it will sound best located toward the front of the room and away from corners. Refer to figure 2.
