How do I best position the SB115 Passive Subwoofer for various venues?

Proper placement of your SB115 Passive Subwoofer is key for the best sound. Here's how to optimize it for different environments. First, consider the distance from the audience. Place the SB115 far enough away to ensure even sound coverage. A good rule of thumb is to maintain a distance greater than the reverberation distance, with at least 3 meters between the subwoofer and the nearest listeners. When using the SB115 with column loudspeakers like the SA180, SA250, or R210, align the subwoofer with these speakers to maximize their impact. You can use one SB115 for each column loudspeaker to get the best performance. If you're using multiple SB115 subwoofers, positioning them together, like side by side or stacked, can increase efficiency and sound pressure levels, potentially gaining up to 3dB. This approach will increase the maximum volume. The SB115 can be positioned either horizontally on the floor or vertically against a wall. Choose the orientation that best fits your space and your specific needs.
