r e v i e w 2 Set It Up The location of your subwoofer in the listening environment can aect its performance. If possible, start with corner placement on the same wall as the front speakers, or anywhere along the front stage in between or outside of your main speakers. Corner Placement: oers huge impact and reduces the potential to encounter bass nulls, or dead spots. If boomi-
ness occurs, you can try pulling it away from the wall and using the DSP tuning controls to smooth performance. Front Placement: In between or to the side of the front channel speakers often results in the best blending with the main speakers and center channel and minimizes localiza-
tion eects. Side Wall Placement: Side wall placement is less frequently used but can be an eective subwoofer location for excellent accuracy and output. 3 Hook It Up Line Level Connection Single LFE Channel For most set-ups, a single RCA subwoofer interconnect cable running from the AV Receivers SUB 1 output to the SB-1000 Pros LFE line level input is all thats required to connect the subwoofer into your system. If you run separate Preamplier and Power Ampliers, follow the Line Level Connection Stereo Receiver or Preamplier Left/Right Channels connection guide below. Your subwoofer is also equipped with speaker level inputs as an alternate connection method.
