Subwoofer adjustment for home thearter installation

You are dealing with home theater installation, the basic points should be paid attention to adjusting subwoofer. The adjustment of subwoofer is really not an easy thing, here can only be explained in a few key outline, hope to make AV fresh people more easy to use.

1. Subwoofer as far as possible do not stick to the speaker back wall (that is, the screen or television wall) is directly placed, also as far as possible do not put subwoofer stuffed in the corner.

When subwoofer is used, it is better to allow its energy to have enough space to expand, so that the low frequency can be naturally distributed evenly in the space, not crowded in one place, so that people can easily catch where it is. The back wall of the horn is the place where the equipment is most often placed in the general environment. And the corner? That's where the three walls come together, where the energy is most likely to be stored, and it's probably hard to get a clear low frequency with the subwoofer. So where might it be better? In experience oblique ground is put in the place of half of side wall or 1/3 position, use metope to do even diffusion which will have good effect normally. Of course, each space characteristics are different, you must do more to try.

2. Don't turn up too high of volume and frequency points

Generally, for first connecting to the subwoofer, the problem is that you are so excited as if discovered the new world, and all the weight of low frequency adjustment is too much, subwoofer crossover point is set too high. The result is very strong low frequency roll, but completely can not hear clearly the details, and pressure is too heavy, listen to for a long time will feel uncomfortable.

A good subwoofer sound should be measured, fast, light and not bulky. If you find that the impact after the subwoofer sound is enough, but the low frequency is not as clear as before, it always sounds strange, and always pay special attention to the existence of the bass; So, please be careful to check that the volume and frequency division point of the subwoofer are not too "HIGH"!

3. Multiple attempts are still the only way to adjust.

Ultra-low frequency due to the longer wavelength, and the relationship between space will also come closer, sometimes even the ultra-low horn in the original angle of sound will have changes, more from different angles to do the adjustment of the position, the setting of the frequency point, phase change, etc., are places to try. For example how does subwoofer sound effect insufficient, what should I do? Perhaps by placing it directly in front of your toes or behind your seat, you can solve more than half of the problem, which requires bold assumptions and a real-world trial and error.

In short, in AV environment, subwoofer is very important to be equipped with your home theater, without it, the audio-visual effect will be less enjoyable. Although subwoofera djustment is not easy, but as long as willing to do it, fresh people will be able to get a lot of valuable practical experience. To enter the new world of AV, start with subwoofer.
