6. the Subwoofer against a wall is better than the middle of the room near a wall and a floor or near a wall and the ceiling provides more output than being in the middle of the wall and in the corner of two walls and a floor or a ceiling results in the most output Another important aspects for a Subwoofer is that it does not need to be aimed Sound leaves from a Subwoofer in a spherical manner But do not place the Port of the Subwoofer up against any surface that would block it Also if using two Subwoofers or more it is usually best to place them asymmetrically within the room This will help eliminate standing waves which can cause pockets of high bass volume and pockets of low bass volume throughout the room Figure 6A amp 6B Subwoofer Placement in Rectangular Room Figure 6A Placement of a Single Subwoofer Figure 6B Placement of Multiple Subwoofers Wall Mounting Both the Subwoofer and the Satellites arrive ready for wall mounting The Subwoofer cabinet must first be separated from the wall baffle To do this simply remove the screws from all the mounting tabs Then pull the cabinet off of the baffle Be sure to disconnect the cables attaching the subwoofer driver to the electron ics as soon as the cable is accessible In the case of the Satellites the InvisiBall base and arm are designed so that optimum aiming angles can be achieved with the base firmly mounted to a wall or to a ceiling In the case of the Subwoofer the Baffl
7. Stereo System it is recommended that the Satellites be setup in a diagonal left right pattern See Figure 5 below Figure 5 Satellite Placement in a Rectangular Room Subwoofer The SMS1 System consists of a single Subwoofer for each four Satellites In a room of 2500 ft or less one subwoofer may be capable of filling the room with bass However regardless of the subwoofer s design there will be more sound close to the Subwoofer and less sound further away The best case is to be able to place the Subwoofer in an area where people will generally not be and essentially the same distance away from all the places that people typically will be Usually however this scenario is not easily found in most real rooms The best thing to do is to place the Subwoofer in an area that is going to have the fewest people near it This may allow for the Subwoofer volume to be up enough that it does produce useable signal at the furthest point from it Another option is to use more than one Subwoofer If one complete SMS1 System is being used then another single SMS1 SUB subwoofer can be added to the system By using two Subwoofers at opposite points in the room a more even distribution of low frequency sound can be achieved Subwoofers should generally be placed near large structural surfaces This helps the Subwoofer using the structural surface as a boundary resonator to achieve higher overall levels The more surfaces the better Placing

9. d Balance is the presence of relatively equal volumes of low middle and high frequencies across the greatest possible coverage It is important to know that there is no perfect room and no perfect placement to give complete coverage and complete balance But with a few guidelines both coverage and balance can be Coverage The SMS 1 System has been designed to cover up to 2500 square feet of space 225m7 witha reasonable background sound level As the space gets smaller the SMS1 will provide higher overall levels If the space is larger than 2500 ft then more speakers or systems may be necessary This manual will go over actual physical placement of the components based on a rectangular room of approximately 2500 ft Satellites The Satellites are generally easy to place The best coverage tends to be in and around the corners of the room The speakers should be placed up high close to the ceiling If the ceiling is very high and there is no reason to cover all the way to the top do not place the satellites much higher than 15 ft 4 5m It is best to bring the Satellite out of the corner slightly along the long wall of the room to an appropriate position such that the installation base will be positioned at a wall stud The four satellites should essentially be in symmetry with each other The satellites should be pointed down and in to center so that they face a point approximately 4 ft 1 2m above the center of the floor For a
