The Subwoofer. The subwoofer’s
optimum position is on the floor
against the wall under the computer
desk. The nearer the subwoofer is to
the corner of the room, the stronger
its maximum bass output will be. We
strongly recommend placing the
against the wall under the computer
desk. The nearer the subwoofer is to
the corner of the room, the stronger
its maximum bass output will be. We
strongly recommend placing the
subwoofer on the floor (see Diagram J).
Leave at least 8 cm (3 inches) of
space between the subwoofer face
and a wall. Small objects in front of,
but not touching the subwoofer (table
legs, for instance) will have no effect
on its sound. If you have no
available floor space, the subwoofer
can be placed on a shelf, desktop or
other sites, but its maximum output
will be reduced. The subwoofer is not
magnetically shielded, so position it
at least 18 inches away from a
computer monitor.
