INSTALLING ON A FLAT PANEL MOUNT

The Episode 2.1 Soundbar can be mounted directly to a Flat Panel Mount with the Strong™ SM-SBAR-BKT (available sepa-

rately). Using the Flat Panel mount bracket allows for the speaker to move with the TV when mounted to articulating arm

mounts. This provides an optimum listening experience for these installations.

SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT

Subwoofer placement can have an effect on the performance that you receive. All rooms are different, but the strongest

output will likely occur if the subwoofer is placed in a corner of the room on the same wall as the soundbar. This is known

as the boundary effect and will emphasize certain bass frequencies while canceling others. Some listeners will find this to

be the best sounding result, while others may find it “boomy” or muddy. Experiment with the placement options available

to you and use the tuning instructions that follow in the “FINE TUNE” section of this manual.
