Subwoofer Placement
Finding the proper placement for your subwoofer can take some trial and error, however here are a few basic
tips to get you started. In most cases the best position for the subwoofer is in the front corner (1) of the room.
Placing a subwoofer in a corner excites most room modes and offers the best chance of avoiding a null area (a
part of the room that experiences an acoustic reduction in bass).
If placing the subwoofer in the corners creates an abnormal amount of bass, you can try moving the subwoofer
to one of the side walls (2) near the front of the room.
If possible the best option is to move the subwoofer around the room and find the location that sounds the best
from your normal listening position. There are many test discs you can purchase that provide the correct test
signals for helping find this optimum location.
Note:
The PHASE and DELAY functions built into the subwoofer will also help if you experience any placement
issues.
Controlling Your Subwoofer—App Required
Your ELAC subwoofer incorporates an advanced, digital control system. Conventional analog rotary
potentiometers and switches have been replaced by a digital signal processor (DSP), which enables you to
adjust your subwoofer conveniently and accurately from the listening position. All parameters, such as volume,
cut-off frequency, phase, etc., as well as the automatic calibration functions, can be adjusted with the help of our
free smart phone APP.
The digital control system also eliminates the possibility of unwanted changes to controls and settings.
Note: A Bluetooth 4.0 low-energy Android or iOS device or ethernet connection is required to set up and oper-
ate this subwoofer.
You can download the “ELAC In Wall Sub Control” APP from the Apple® App Store® or Google® Play Store®.
Please follow the directions on the next page for configuring the subwoofer for your room environment.
Note:
In case your mobile device needs a 4 digit code during the subwoofer-pairing procedure, please use
“0000”
