Positioning the subwoofer
( : subwoofer, : front speaker)
It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the
outside of either the right or the left front speaker.
(See fig. .) The placement shown in fig. is
also possible, however, if the subwoofer system is
placed directly facing the wall, the bass effect may
die because the sound from it and the sound
reflected by the wall may cancel out each other. To
prevent this from happening, face the subwoofer
system at an angle as shown in fig. .
Note: There may be a case that you cannot obtain
enough super-bass sounds from the subwoofer
when listening in the center of the room. This is
because “standing waves” have been developed
between two parallel walls and they cancel the bass
sounds.
In such a case, face the subwoofer obliquely to the
wall. It also may be necessary to break up the par-
allel surfaces by placing bookshelves etc. along the
walls.
