Positioning The Subwoofer - Yamaha YST-SW010 Manual

Positioning the subwoofer

Although the placement of the subwoofer is not as
critical as that of the other speakers, it is best to
place the subwoofer outside either the right or left
front speaker as shown in figure A.
A (Recommended)
: Subwoofer
: Front speaker
The placement shown in Figure B is also accept-
able. However, in some cases, if you listen from
the center of the room, the super-bass range from
the subwoofer may sound weak. This is due to
"standing waves" that can develop between paral-
lel walls that effectively diminish or cancel the
bass sound. In this event, face the subwoofer
obliquely to the wall. It also may help to break up
the parallel surface by placing bookshelves or
other large objects along the wall.
B (Acceptable)
: Subwoofer
: Front speaker

Non-skid pads:
Place the included non-skid
pads at the four corners of the bottom of the sub-
woofer to prevent the subwoofer from sliding due
to vibration or minor impact.
