INSTALLATION

SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT

Subwoofer placement isn't quite as critical as placement of left, center, right and surround speakers. The low frequency output
of a subwoofer is non-directional, so the sub can be placed almost anywhere in a room. Typically, a single subwoofer would be
located in the front of the room with the front left/right/center speakers as shown in Diagram 3.
A sub located close to or directly adjacent to a side-wall can cause a degree of boominess in low frequency sound. A little bit of
trial and error may help in finding a particularly good location. Also, if locating the sub next to an equipment cabinet or some
other piece of furniture, be sure the grille of the GS6 is at least even with the front of the cabinet so the low frequency sound
waves are not blocked and can properly open up into the room.
DO
Place the GS6 with its feet resting on a solid flat level surface.
Place the GS6 in a well-vented area to provide proper cooling. In areas that lack proper ventilation, such as tight cabinets or
racks, it may be necessary to install small fans to create air movement.
DO NOT
Obstruct the GS6 driver or ports as that will hinder performance.
Place the GS6 in any position other than horizontal with the feet down. Never place on its side or resting on the back where
the terminals are located.
Place the GS6 near heat sources or in an area that it would be exposed to moisture.
