◊ Placing the Force(s) near your main speakers is the easiest way to get a good
match. The ideal placement is often in a corner behind the main speakers,
(Diagram A). Placement between the main speakers can also work well.
◊ Instead of moving a heavy subwoofer around the room to find the best
response there is a simple trick you can use. Place the Force where you
normally sit to listen. While playing either test tones or music with a steady
bass, walk around the room and listen for the deepest, tightest and smoothest
bass response. Move the Force to the place you heard the best bass.
◊ Placing the Force(s)close to a wall will increase bass output. Moving the
Force(s) into a corner will increase bass output even further. Use the
placement to fine-tune the bass your system produces.
◊ Placement of the Force(s) will often be determined by your room configuration
and furniture layout. Experienced audiophiles know that “fine-tuning” room
placement can yield important gains in sound quality. Most listeners will be
more than happy with the results they get from the most “convenient”
placement. Very serious listeners will want to experiment with various
placements to really optimize the match to the main speakers.
◊ Correct phase of the subwoofer is dependent on the frequency response of
the main speakers and the placement of the subwoofer relative to the main
speakers. Correct phase will yield the highest output level at the crossover
frequency, (the fullest sound). You may have to re-adjust the crossover
frequency and output level.
Placement Diagrams:
Placement A is probably the best solution in most systems. The corner placement
provides the highest output level with the lowest distortion from the subwoofer.
