Therefore, bass output is maximized when the subwoofer is placed in a corner. · It is also recommended that the subwoofer be positioned along the same wall as the front loudspeakers. Low-frequency sounds are normally omnidirectional, meaning the listener can't tell where they are generated from. However, frequencies between 75Hz ­ 150Hz can be localized, especially at higher volume levels. Positioning your subwoofer as recommended will provide the most natural soundstage and imaging from your loudspeaker system. Remember that these are just guidelines. Since every listening room is different, JBL strongly recommends experimenting with the positioning of your subwoofer to obtain the most pleasing results in your room. One technique that can help you find the ideal subwoofer location is to temporarily place the subwoofer near the main listening location. Then move around the room and determine where you hear the most pleasing bass performance. This would then be the ideal location for the subwoofer. 120 90 60 150 180 High Pass Hookup When we designed the PSW-D112 powered subwoofer, our goal was to offer the user the best possible performance combined with the most flexible and complete installation options.

[. . . ] There are no right or wrong settings; this switch offers the added flexibility to adjust your subwoofer for optimum performance for your specific listening conditions. Should you decide to fine-tune your system for optimum performance, be patient and trust your ears. It will be worth the effort involved to fully "tweak" your system. · Check that receiver/amplifier is on and a source is playing. · Check that powered subwoofer is plugged in. [. . . ]
