Since the installation of a subwoofer can be somewhat more
complicated than installing full-range speakers, it is essential
that you read this section very carefully prior to connecting the
subwoofer to your system. Should you have questions relating to
your installation, it is advisable to call either your dealer or
Infinity’s Customer Service Department for advice.
The performance of the subwoofer is directly related to its
placement in the listening room and how you align the subwoofer
with its satellite speakers. Setting the volume of the subwoofer in
relationship to the left and right speakers is also of critical
importance because it is essential that the subwoofer integrates
smoothly with the entire system.Setting the subwoofer’s volume
level too high will result in an overpowering, boomy bass. Setting
the volume level too low will negate the effect of the subwoofer.
Generally speaking, the closer the subwoofer is placed to a room
boundary (walls and corners),the more bass output there will be.
If you are hearing too much low-frequency sound in relation to
the rest of the program material, move the subwoofer further
from the corner or wall. Conversely,if, after making all adjust-
ments, there is still not enough low-frequency energy,move the
subwoofer closer to a wall or corner.
Here are several additional facts on installation that may prove
useful. It is generally believed by most audio authorities that low
frequencies (below 125Hz) are nondirectional and, therefore,
placement of a subwoofer within any listening room is not
critical.While in theory it is true that the larger wavelengths, of
extremely low frequencies, are basically nondirectional, the fact
is that when installing a subwoofer within the limited confines of
a room,reflections, standing waves and absorptions generated
within the room will strongly influence the performance of any
subwoofer system.As a result,specific location of the subwoofer
becomes important, and we strongly recommend that you
experiment with placement before choosing a final location.
Placement will depend upon your room and the amount and
quality of bass required (for example, whether or not your room
permits placement of the subwoofer near either satellite).
