Figure 2. This view shows the
subwoofer positioned behind the
right-channel satellite speaker to
re-create the actual location of
bass instruments in an orchestra.
Here are some useful hints:
1. Experimentation with the port direction may be useful. At times directing the port away
from the listening area (to the side) may be advantageous because this may create a better
blend of bass within the listening room.
2. If bass response seems inadequate, move it closer to a wall or corner. If bass becomes too
heavy, try turning the subwoofer with the port facing away from the wall. This will tend to
diminish bass output.
It may take some time and patience to find the most pleasing acoustic location for your sub-
woofer. Testing for sonic balance and blending should always be made for your normal listening
position, using a wide range of source material. As a starting point, place the subwoofer behind
your right-channel satellite speaker, about 3 or 4 inches from the wall. We suggest trying this
location first because the bass instruments in an orchestra are usually located in the back and to
the right (see Figure 2).
