PLACEMENT
SUB-15 PLACEMENT
Due to long wavelengths being reproduced, low-frequency bass
response from the ULTIMA SUB-15 is non-directional and, there-
fore, the subwoofer does not require specific placement location.
However, optimum results can be obtained by making in-room
measurements to determine the precise locations of all speakers in
your specific listening room. The location of a subwoofer, along
with the listener’s location, have a profound effect on sound quality.
Revel has made measurements in hundreds of listening rooms and
we suggest trying the following ideas to enhance performance:

•
Use a corner placement for the ULTIMA SUB-15, as shown in
Figure 4 below. This will provide the smoothest response in
most rooms. If you cannot measure the response (in order to
find the best location), place the subwoofer in a front corner.

•
If you plan to use two ULTIMA SUB-15s (see Figure 5 on
next page), place both subwoofers together in a front corner,
side-by-side or stacked, or place a subwoofer in each of the
front corners. However, if the room is not symmetrical, only
place the subwoofers together in one front corner.
