Your subwoofer is designed / optimized to
be placed in a room corner on the diagonal
(corner loading), but can also be optimized
for other room option placements.
The following are additional
recommendations that Sunre has found to
be benecial in nding the prime location for
your subwoofer:
Experiment with at least two places
and decide which is the best for your
enviroment:
• Start by placing the
subwoofer right on the seat of
your favorite couch or easy
chair. Take care to position it
so it is not likely to fall off.
• If you are using the subwoofer
as part of a home theater
system, you can either run a
calibration test signal through
the subwoofer, or simply plug
the analog outputs of a
CD/DVD/Blu-Ray player
directly into the subwoofer's
line level inputs. Turn down
the subwoofer’s volume level
before turning on the audio
source, then play some of
your favorite music samples
with heavy bass.
Walk around the room, listening, and
stand in all the positions where you
might be able to place the subwoofer.
Location
Try crouching down, and try the
corners. Find a place for the subwoofer
where the bass output sounds the
loudest.
Shut things down and install the
subwoofer in this position. Make
sure the control panel is not touching
anything, and that it can receive good
ventilation.
Although low frequencies are
non-directional, factors such as room
reections, standing waves, resonance
and absorption will strongly affect your
subwoofer's performance. Moving the
subwoofer from one location to another
can have a major effect on the bass
response.
The auto EQ mode will let you adjust
for the room effects, but you should nd
the best location rst.
Remember to keep the subwoofer
at least two or 3 feet away from other
electronics that may be negatively
impacted by strong magnetic elds.
This will reduce the chance of the
magnetic elds upsetting or erasing
your magnetic media.
