Getting Started
Positioning your Subwoofer
The positioning of your subwoofer will affect the quantity and also quality of the lower frequencies of the system. Locating the subwoofer near a wall will increase the bass response of the speaker. If it is placed too near to a corner however, the overall effect may be too 'boomy'. Due to the low frequency nodal characteristics of the room, the response will change as it is placed a little closer, or further away from the listening position. Adjusting the rear panel controls (as explained in previous sections) will also affect the sound, so the answer is to experiment and find the position and settings that provide a good balance between low frequency amount and definition across a range of source material.
Taking Care of your Subwoofer
Cabinets should be dusted and lightly polished as required. Do not use solvent based cleaners, as they may damage the cabinet surface. Do not expose the cabinets to strong, direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity or allow them to become wet.
