Owner's Manual

Listening
Position
Generally, subwoofers have
the
most output when placed
in
the
corner
of
a room. However,
this
can also exagger-
ate
the
subwoofers output making blending difficult.
We
recommend starting
by
placing the subwoofer
in
a
co
r-
ner.
If
,
after
th
e
full
range
of
tuning techniqu
es
have been
employed,
the
subwoofer
sounds
like
it
has
t
oo
much
upp
er
bass energy try pulling it
away
from
the
wall,
toward
the
listening position.
Th
is
will l
essen
the
reinforcement
of
these
problematic frequencies
from
the
wal
l and likely smooth out
the
response. Repeat
the
tuning techniques with
the
woofer
controls after
yo
u move it
(see
figure 7).
Ask
Your
Dealer
Your
Martinlogan
dealer can suggest many options for
optimal subwoofer placement.
The
y also have many to
ols
at
their
di
s
po
sa
l, such as experience, familiarity with
the
associated equipment, and e
ven
sound analysis equipme
nt
which may make
the
task
of determining optimal subwoofer
placement easier.
