Location

The suggestions below will typi- cally result in outstanding performance. However, although low frequencies are non-directional, factors such as room reflections, standing waves, resonance and absorption will strongly affect your subwoofer’s performance.

Since your Sunfire subwoofer is de- signed to be professionally installed into your wall, engineering services from your authorized Sunfire dealer and/or outside acoustical resources should be consid- ered to ensure optimum performance.

The Sunfire HRSIW8 amplifier’s DSP features will tailor the sound to the room for optimum performance in the location you choose. Controls include the cross- over frequency, and slope, phase, and subsonic filter

Keep the subwoofer at least two or three feet away from any

TV screen, computer, VCR or magnetic tapes and discs. This will

reduce the chance of the magnetic fields upsetting the TV screen or erasing your magnetic media.

Preliminary

Before cutting a hole in your wall, it is always best to test the subwoofer in that location first. Place it on the floor near to the "possible" location, and connect it to the Sunfire HRSIW8 amplifier. Play some typical bass passages through the subwoofer. This will help you identify any problems in the sound due to the location, and you may be able to find a location that sounds better.

Corner installation

Installing the subwoofer on the front wall, towards the corner will reinforce the low frequencies. This is best suited for:

Rooms larger than 200 square feet where a single subwoofer will be used

For dedicated home theaters

For listeners who enjoy “heavy” bass.
