As you walk around the room, be sure to pay careful attention to where the spectral response is smoothest and has the greatest low frequency extension. Pay special attention to the corners and along the walls. Remember, because the subwoofer is basically omni-directional, the best spot for the subwoofer may be next to, or behind, the main monitoring area.

After analyzing the data and finding the spot where the subwoofer has the best response in the room, place the subwoofer in that location. Now, take some additional measurements from the listening position and confirm that the subwoofer’s response is similar to when the positions were reversed. If it is, then leave the subwoofer in that location. If not, continue to experiment with the subwoofer location until the smoothest and best response has been achieved.

It has been found that a subwoofer’s in-room response can sometimes be improved by facing the drivers towards a wall. Again, experimentation is the key to finding the best possible location.

The MPS-5310 subwoofer generates tremendous energy, so it may vibrate objects close to it. If you hear buzzing or vibrating objects, make sure to try and dampen those objects. Rattling, buzzing and other sympathetic resonances can make the subwoofer localizable and therefore should be avoided. Using a sine wave generator can be helpful in locating these acoustic anomalies.
