PLACEMENT
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 your dealer or visit www.infinitysystems.com for assistance.
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 relation to the left
and right speakers is also of critical importance because it is essential
that the subwoofer integrate 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 benefits
of the subwoofer.
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 sub-
woofer 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,the specific location of the subwoofer
becomes important, and it is strongly recommended that you experiment
with placement before choosing a final location.Since your new wireless
subwoofer does not need to be physically connected to your receiver or
processor,this process is now even easier.
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).Be sure to leave a minimum of
six inches between the wall and the port on the subwoofer.
