Pre-Installation - Lyngdorf Audio DW-1 Installation Manual

Pre-Installation

For the best mechanical integration and sound performance, follow this advice before installing the DW-1.
•
Chose the acoustically best place for the DW-1 in the room. The DW-1 has been specifically developed as
an in-wall woofer for custom installations and for following the boundary woofer principle. The
acoustically ideal placement is in a room corner, or at least as close as possible to the nearest room
boundaries, for example floor, wall, sidwall, ceiling. This leads to an ideal impulse response and the
highest power efficiency, and results in a tight and powerful bass.
•
The high-bandwidht design of the DW-1 allows a seamless sound integration with the main speakers. The
ideal setup is as left and right woofers, complementing the left and right front speakers.
•
Make sure the DW-1 can be placed on solid ground, or on a similarly stable base. Use the height-
adjustable spikes and the provided Installation Guide Panel for the most stable stand.
•
The DW-1 enclosure is very shallow and cannot stand on its own. Make sure that the wall
construction allows fixing the top of the DW-1 with the pre-mounted angle brackets to
ensure a safe and stable stand.
•
Allow a wall opening large enough to accommodate the DW-1 and seal all air gaps on all
sides with a foam tape or other suitable material. This is important to minimize mechanical
resonance as well as to avoid uneven sound performance caused by air gaps, which can act
like a bass trap and decrease the sound energy at certain frequencies.
