Role Reversal: There’s a myth that a subwoofer can be placed anywhere
in a room and instantly fill the room with complete sound. It’s true that
Subwoofers have Omni directional output; however, due to the inherent
characteristics of the Low Frequency Sine Wave, there tends to be a
number of dead spots. Dead spots are areas where the Subwoofer
sounds non existent. So placement can become critical to optimizing
the performance of the Subwoofer. This is simply physics.
One way to find the optimum location for the Subwoofer is to
place the subwoofer where the person will typically be sitting while
viewing/listening to the Home Theater or audio system. Then, walk
around to a couple of different potential locations for the
Subwoofer and compare the sound quality of the Sub at each stop.
Once you have determined the location that sounds the best,
reverse the location of the sub (i.e., from the listening spot to where
the sub will located fulltime). We recommend that you involve your
spouse/partner in this process. Female hearing is better, and your
spouse will have an opinion on the subwoofer’s final location.
