Subwoofer Placement
Sonance subwoofers have built-in app driven room correction
allowing you to place the subwoofer in a wide variety of room
locations. Since your ears do not hear directional sound at
deep bass frequencies, your subwoofer’s placement is not as
critical to its over- all performance as is the placement of your
system’s other speakers. The following guidelines — plus some
experimentation will help you get the best performance possible
from your subwoofer in your listening environment.
We suggest starting with the subwoofer in line with your left and
right speakers, somewhere between either speaker and the side
wall (see Figure 1).
Installing the Subwoofer Flush
to a Wall or Cabinet
To allow for proper ventilation when installing the Impact
subwoofer this way, leave at least 1” of clearance around the top
and sides of the subwoofer and 1” of clearance behind it. If it is
not possible to provide the necessary clearance, install a fan that
will bring cooling air into the rear of the compartment containing
the subwoofer.
Your subwoofer’s location relative to walls will influence the
amount of bass it produces — placing the subwoofer next to a
wall will increase bass output; placing it in a corner will maximize
its bass output. However, corner placement can increase standing
waves in the room (peaks and dips in bass response related to
the room’s dimensions) that can make the subwoofer’s bass
performance sound uneven at different listening locations.
Experiment with different subwoofer locations until you find one
that produces strong bass that sounds clear (without boominess)
at the seating locations while maintaining the sound’s impact.
Your local authorized Sonance dealer is an expert in audio/
video system planning and installation. We strongly recommend
that you work with your dealer to ensure that you get the best
performance possible from your subwoofer.

NOTE: THESE SUBWOOFERS CAN PRODUCE ENOUGH BASS
ENERGY TO CAUSE OBJECTS IN THE ROOM TO RATTLE OR
BUZZ DURING PASSAGES WITH VERY STRONG BASS.
IF THIS HAPPENS, TRY RELOCATING THE ITEMS. IF THAT
FAILS TO STOP THE RATTLING YOU MAY HAVE TO REMOVE
OR SECURE THE ITEMS.
