Placement of the
subwoofer
The placement of the subwoofer in the room
dramatically affects the overall frequency response
and sound level of the system. At low frequencies
the effect of the room is strong. Even a
slight
change in the subwoofer's location can make a
significant difference in the frequency balance.
Patience and experimentation is needed to find the
optimal placement. The placement affects the
phase difference between the main loudspeakers
and the subwoofer.
Subwoofers often get a more linear frequency
response placed in a corner.
The correct height
If the loudspeakers are small, they should be placed
on stands or tilted so that they are on the same
level as the ears.
Cables
Try to k
eep them as short as possible. By its
electrical parameters, a long conductor will have a
bigger influence on the sound than a short one.
The subwoofer cable should be shielded, to avoid
noise.
Make sure that all connections are clean and not
oxidised. A
ll connections should be mechanically
stable, both power, signal and loudspeaker cables.
Signal cables should be separated from other
cables.
Finally
Please remember that good sound is a matter of
taste, so you have to experiment to obtain your
favourite one. We wish you best of luck!
