  • Page 18: Subwoofer Placement And Configuration

    AIRMOTIV SUBWOOFERS Subwoofer Placement and Configuration The best location for your subwoofer will depend on a lot of things - including the acoustics of your room, the characteristics of your main speakers, and practical considerations like where you have room for it. (Whole books have been written about the subject - and even experts often disagree.) The important thing is to find a location that delivers the sound you want, and fits with your room decor.
  • Page 19 AIRMOTIV SUBWOOFERS - Adjust the Phase Control to the setting where you hear the MOST bass in the frequency range where the sub overlaps with your main speakers. - Use the adjustments on your receiver or pre/pro to dial your settings in perfectly, or run the automatic room correction and let it do all the work for you.
  • Page 20 AIRMOTIV SUBWOOFERS - Turn the Volume Control up until the amount of bass sounds more or less correct. - Use the Phase Control to adjust for the MOST bass in the frequency range where your sub and main speakers overlap. - Fine tune the setting on the Volume Control so that the amount of low bass and middle frequencies seem about right in proportion to each other.
  • Page 21: Connections

    Always use high-quality interconnects between your subwoofer and your source equipment. • Keep interconnects as short as possible, and avoid running interconnects next to power cables whenever possible. • Emotiva offers high quality interconnect cables at reasonable prices (you will find them on our website at www.emotiva.com) Page 17...
