Positioning The Subwoofer - Samson Auro D1200 Manual Del Usuario

Positioning the Subwoofer

The placement of the subwoofer can affect the overall performance of your system
since room acoustics may create standing waves, an acoustical phenomenon that
causes certain bass frequencies to sound louder. Here are a few points you should
consider when setting up your system which can help you achieve optimal perfor-
mance in your space.
The ideal placement of the subwoofer is as close to the main front of house speak-
ers as possible, in order to blend the satellites and subwoofer. Mounting the satel-
lite speakers on top of the subwoofer allows you to align the drivers. The closer the
subwoofer is to a wall, the louder the bass frequencies will sound, and you can adjust
the mix between the subwoofer and satellite speakers by moving the subwoofer closer
to and further from a wall.
Avoid placing the subwoofer in a corner. This can make the subwoofer appear to be
louder, but only for a limited frequency band, and will make the mix sound "boomy"
and not well defined. The best way to increase the overall level of bass is to add a
second Auro D1200.
