Position subwoofer
in corner for maximum
bass output
Unpacking the System
Carefully unpack the subwoofer. If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery
service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use. Be sure to keep your purchase receipt in a safe place, as it
may be required for warranty purposes.
Placement Options
Place the subwoofer next to a wall or in a corner near your main speakers. The sound is typically best when the subwoofer
is within 15 feet (4.5m) of the main speakers. The sharp 24dB/octave crossover roll-off permits placement farther from the
main speakers if necessary. Since the ear is unable to localize the low frequencies of the subwoofer, the bass still appears
to come from the main speakers. Experimentation is key, however most positions in the room will work well.
The level of bass output from the subwoofer will vary at different positions in a room. When placed near walls, its loudness
is emphasized. Corner placement provides the most bass output. Placement completely away from walls may produce
too little bass. Regardless of the natural bass level within the room you will always have the ability to adjust the level of the
subwoofer from the built in volume control. If at any time you move the subwoofer be sure to check all of your settings.
IMPORTANT: Do not place the subwoofer where there is a chance of contact between the rear panel and drapes or furniture
.
