The AELITE Sub is virtually omni-directional, so it can be positioned in almost
any location in the room. For the best performance in the ideal room the
subwoofer should be positioned in a corner of the room or near a back wall.
In certain circumstances the addition of a second AELITE Sub located in
another position in the room helps to achieve a more uniform bass.

The use of two subwoofers often provides a greater than expected increase in
sound quality and bass dynamics, worth more than the additional cost would
suggest. If two AELITE Subs are used, they should ideally be positioned in the
corners near the respective units of the stereo loudspeaker pair.

This subwoofer may be installed using the four rubber feet or spikes with lock
nuts, both supplied. It should not be placed directly onto the floor since the
reflex port is firing to the ground. 

When positioned correctly ensure space is left to the rear of the subwoofer since all
operation switches are on the rear panel.

Check that both your amplifier and subwoofer are switched off before
connection. Failure to do so may result in speaker or amplifier damage. It is
sometimes recommended that over-long low cost cables are used initially to
facilitate experimentation with positioning, and only then purchase and install
using the final cable choice. 

1. For use with amplifiers having a subwoofer Out jack:

Connect from the dedicated subwoofer line output on the amplifier to the
line input(s) on the AELITE Sub. (A single lead to either input or a ‘Y’
connector to both inputs may be used). The stereo speakers are run direct
for higher definition.
