Subwoofer Placement - ELAC Muro Series Operating Instructions Manual

Subwoofer Placement

Finding the proper placement for your subwoofer can take some trial and error, however, here are a few basic
tips to get you started. In most cases the best position for the subwoofer is in the front corner (1) of the room.
Placing a subwoofer in a corner excites most room modes and offers the best chance of avoiding a null area (a
part of the room that experiences an acoustic reduction in bass).
If placing the subwoofer in the corner creates an abnormal amount of bass, you can try moving the subwoofer to
one of the side walls (2) near the front of the room.
If possible, the best option is to move the subwoofer around the room and find the location that sounds the best
from your normal listening position. There are many test discs you can purchase that provide the correct test
signals for helping find this optimum location.
Note: The AutoEQ feature of this subwoofer (Available from the smartphone app) will optimize the subwoofers
performance wherever you finally place the subwoofer.
There are also three ways this subwoofer can be mounted. Use one of the following mounting solutions to best
suit your needs:
1. Place the subwoofer on the floor in a vertical position on rectangular feet as show in Fig. A.
2. Place the subwoofer horizontally on the floor using the conical shaped rubber feet as show in Fig. B.
3. Mount the subwoofer on the wall using the provided brackets and two of the rubber feet as show in Fig. C.
