Set It Up

The location of your subwoofer in the listening environment can affect 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: offers huge impact and reduces the
potential to encounter bass nulls, or ‘dead spots’. If “boominess” 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 localization effects.
For most set-ups, a single RCA subwoofer interconnect cable running from the AV Receiver’s “SUB 1” output to the PB16-Ultra’s
“LFE” line level input is all that’s required to connect the subwoofer into your system. If you run separate Preamplifier and Power
Amplifiers, follow the “Line Level Connection – Stereo Receiver or Preamplifier Left/Right Channels” connection guide below.

Side Wall Placement: Side wall placement is less frequently
used but can be an effective subwoofer location for
excellent accuracy and output.
