Subwoofer Positioning
Subwoofers are considered to be omnidirectional. They produce low
bass frequencies that are not especially localized. The human ear
does not rely on these frequencies to place sounds in space there-
fore, placement is not as important as with other types of speakers.
Place subwoofers along the front wall of the room approximately 2-3
feet from the corners. Expect a 3-9dB bass boost if the subwoofer is
placed directly in the corner of a room (called “corner loading”). It is
usually not advisable to place subwoofers directly next to the seating
position in a Home Theater.
Multiple Subwoofers
It is sometimes desirable to install multiple subwoofers for increased
bass response in a Home Theater. Place the subwoofers equal dis-
tance from the screen in similar locations as shown below.
