Audio Physic Luna - Placement and Leveling

High End Series English
Seng Up Your Subwoofer
The fact that a subwoofer only reproduces the lowest frequency band means that a number of dierent
setups are possible in your room. It can, for example be placed by a wall, in a corner or in a free-standing
posion. The acousc rules that apply to other loudspeakers also apply to subwoofers, meaning that the
closer your subwoofer is to a wall or corner, the larger or smaller the increase in lower tones will be. You
can, however, use the electronics of the LUNA to compensate for these inuences in order to achieve
opmal results in all posions. You can nd out more about this issue in the chapter “Adjusng Your
Subwoofer”. There are, however, some posions that are parcularly suited to your subwoofer and
make the setup process easier for you.
1. Your subwoofer should generally be placed on a stable and level surface. Unscrew the spikes
that you previously aached to your subwoofer unl the device is level and all spikes are rmly
set on the ground. The spirit level enclosed with your subwoofer will help you to ensure that it is
exactly level. Once you have posioned your subwoofer, use the lock nuts to again ghten the
spikes. It is important that your subwoofer is level because depending on the bass depth and
volume, large forces act on the device when it is in operaon. If your subwoofer is not in a level
posion and on a solid surface, it may move out of posion due to an unbalanced distribuon of
force and strong vibraons.
2. The loudspeakers and subwoofer should not be placed directly next to each other. This may lead to
unwanted interacons between the devices, for example the loudspeakers causing each other to
resonate. A distance of around 50 cenmetres between the devices largely prevents these eects.
