Here are some useful hints:
1. Experimentation with the port direction may be useful. At times directing the port
away from the listening area (to the side) may be advantageous because this may
create a better blend of bass within the listening room.
2. If bass response seems inadequate, move it closer to a wall or corner. If bass
becomes too heavy, try turning the subwoofer with the port facing away from the
wall. This will tend to diminish bass output.
It will take time and patience to find the most pleasing acoustic location for your
subwoofer. Testing for sonic balance and blending should always be made for your
normal listening position, using a wide range of source material. As a starting point,
initially place the subwoofer behind your right channel satellite speaker, about 3 or 4
inches from the wall. We suggest trying this location first because in an orchestra, the
bass instruments are usually located in the back and to the right (see Figure 1).
