Page 9: Position Of The Subwoofer In The Studio
6. P OSITION OF THE UBWOOFER IN THE TUDIO In theory, the best position for Subwoofer is midway between the satellite speakers, with its front facing forward and in the same plane as the fronts of the satellite speakers. Subwoofer SW8000 may, however, due to the very low distortion by design, so there is no directional sound field from SW8000, in practice be moved quite far from this position without any detrimental effect on the sound reproduction. - Page 10 Moving the turntable or the speakers may remedy this problem. Or try placing an anti- vibration pad under the turntable. a. Level setting With the “Level” control the volume of the subwoofer is set to properly match the satellite speakers. You can start with setting at 12 O’clock position of Level Control. If the Subwoofer is placed on the floor against one wall in a normal room, the Subwoofer sound pressure could be increased 3dB than placed on the freestanding floor.
- Page 11 management, the Satellites control should be set together with upper frequency limit of Subwoofer Control. If your satellites are properly damped at the bass response, the control should be selected to the same frequency for Satellites control and Subwoofer Control. If your satellite speakers are under-damped (“Boomy”), the control should be set to a higher frequency and if they are over-damped (“dry”), a lower setting is best.
