9Thunderstone PlacementWhat’s the best place for the Thunderstone subwoofer? The subwoofer is by defaultomnidirectional, so you can place it almost anywhere in the room. On the other hand, it is notalways this simple. The room acoustics come into play and the placement often involves acompromise between available space, floor traffic, aesthetic considerations and last but not least,optimal sound quality.In case you are dealing with limited placement options, or perhaps you are down to that “onespot,” do not despair. Even minor changes in the placement, a couple of centimetres can improvethe bass response throughout the room toward more accurate and balanced. Walking around theroom whilst listening, you will probably find that the response changes and some listening spotsare sweeter than the rest.FRONTAL PLACEMENTIf the corner placement does not work for you. Or simply is not an option space-wise. We suggestyou try frontal subwoofer placement. Placing the subwoofer in the middle of the audio set is themost common and usually results in the best blend of the bass frequencies with the mids andhighs of the satellite speakers and minimizes the effect of room acoustics on the bass frequencies.When properly placed, the subwoofer should make you feel like the bass is coming from all aroundyou. If you perceive the sound as directional, try altering the subwoofer position along the sides ofthe front stage and listen for the best results.CORNER PLACEMENTWe recommend starting with corner placement. Corner placement excites all possible roommodes, resulting in a denser standing wave pattern in the room. This doesn’t eliminate (but helpsto reduce) the potential to encounter acoustic ‘dead spots’ in the room. If corner placement on thefront stage sounds awesome – then well done you. Now go enjoy some great tunes. |
