Basics of system setup.
Subwoofer placement
Finding a subwoofer position can be dif cult. Try to
nd a location between left-center or center-right
area at the front wall. Avoid exact center position,
where the room modes may cause problems.
Placing the subwoofer to a corner or near the front
wall boosts the bass. Use sensitivity control to
compensate the bass boost.
A Genelec subwoofer reproduces the frequencies up
to 85 Hz and the monitors reproduce the frequencies
above 85 Hz. The LFE channel in the subwoofer
reproduces frequencies up to 120 Hz.
