Location - Sunfire HRSIW8 User Manual

Location

The suggestions below will typi-
cally 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 Sunfire subwoofer is de-
signed to be professionally installed into
your wall, engineering services from your
authorized Sunfire dealer and/or outside
acoustical resources should be consid-
ered to ensure optimum performance.
The Sunfire HRSIW8 amplifier's DSP
features will tailor the sound to the room
for optimum performance in the location
you choose. Controls include the cross-
over frequency, and slope, phase, and
subsonic filter
Keep the subwoofer at least
two or three feet away from any
TV screen, computer, VCR or
magnetic tapes and discs. This will
reduce the chance of the magnetic fields
upsetting the TV screen or erasing your
magnetic media.
User's Manual
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 Sunfire HRSIW8 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 00 square feet
where a single subwoofer will be
used
• For dedicated home theaters
• For listeners who enjoy "heavy"
bass.
