26 Placement
P
laCement
Generally, subwoofers have the most output when placed
in the corner of a room. However, this can also exagger-
ate the subwoofers output making blending difficult. We
recommend starting by placing the subwoofer in a cor-
ner. If, after the full range of tuning techniques have been
employed, the subwoofer sounds like it has too much upper
bass energy try pulling it away from the wall, toward the
listening position. This will lessen the reinforcement of these
problematic frequencies from the wall and likely smooth out
the response. Repeat the tuning techniques with the woofer
controls after you move it (see figure 8).
Ask Your Dealer
Your MartinLogan dealer can suggest many options for
optimal subwoofer placement. They also have many tools
at their disposal, such as experience, familiarity with the
associated equipment, and even sound analysis equipment
which may make the task of determining optimal subwoofer
placement easier.
Enjoy Yourself
MartinLogan subwoofers are very refined subwoofers and
will benefit from care in setup. With the above placement
tips in mind you will find, over months of listening, that
small changes can result in measurable differences. As
you live with your subwoofer, do not be afraid to experi-
ment with positioning until you find the optimal relationship
between your room, settings and subwoofer that gives you
the best results. Your efforts will be rewarded.
Installing in a Cabinet
When placing the subwoofer inside of a cabinet it is rec-
ommended that there be a minimum of three inches of open
space between the cabinet and the front and back sides
(see figure 9).
