Example: The following example will help you set your subwoofer’s
room compensation switch properly.
Let’s say your theater room measures 16 feet wide, by 21 feet long, by 8 feet tall
with a small 10 feet by 7 feet wide opening.
Calculate Room Volume:
16ft X 21ft X 8ft = 2688ft
3
(plus 5% for the opening)
Determine Room Compensation Location:
2822.4ft
3
= >2400ft
3
= LARGE
The below graph depicts the above example and the results that you would ex-
pect to achieve. The blue trace is with the Room Comp knob set to BYPASS and
the red trace is the Room Comp knob set to LARGE. As you can see the Room
Compensation knob allows the subwoofer to produce a more linear response.
The fine print: Because every home theater differs is size and integrity you
may not achieve the desired results based in the above example. If you are have
any trouble setting the Room Compensation knob please email us at techsup-
port@svsound.com. We will be happy to help you optimize your subwoofer.
