LOCATION
The suggestions below will typically result in outstanding performance. However,
although low frequencies are non-directional, factors such as room reflections standing
waves, resonance and absorption will strongly affect your subwoofer's performance.
Since your Proficient subwoofer is designed to be professionally installed into your wall,
engineering services from your authorized Proficient dealer and/or outside acoustical
resources should be considered to ensure optimum performance.
Preliminary
Before cutting a hole in your wall, it is always best to test the subwoofer in that location
first. Place it on the floor near to the "possible" location, and connect it to the amplifier.
Play some typical bass passages through the subwoofer. This will help you identify any
problems in the sound due to the location, and you may be able to find a location that
sounds better.
Corner installation
Installing the subwoofer on the front wall, towards the corner will reinforce the low
frequencies. This is best suited for:
•
Rooms larger than 200 square feet where a single subwoofer will be used
•
For dedicated home theaters
•
For listeners who enjoy "heavy" bass.
