Positioning the subwoofer
Although the placement of the subwoofer is not as critical as that of the other speakers, it is best to place the subwoofer outside either the right or left front speaker as shown in figure A.
A (Recommended)
: Subwoofer
: Front speaker
The placement shown in Figure B is also accept- able. However, in some cases, if you listen from the center of the room, the super-bass range from the subwoofer may sound weak. This is due to “standing waves” that can develop between parallel walls that effectively diminish or cancel the bass sound. In this event, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall. It also may help to break up the parallel surface by placing bookshelves or other large objects along the wall.
B (Acceptable)
: Subwoofer
: Front speaker
Non-skid pads: Place the included non-skid pads at the four corners of the bottom of the sub- woofer to prevent the subwoofer from sliding due to vibration or minor impact.
