Audio is all about finding ‘the spot’ … the sweet spot* in seating gets a lot of attention but so should finding the
right spot for your sub. In a traditional setup, for best sonic integration, locating your sub between your front speakers,
beside one of them or close to the back wall will usually provide the best bass performance.
Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b highlight how bass output is generally affected by room placement. When seated in a typical
listening area of your room, placing the sub inside the ‘shaded’ areas will result in bass performance as follows:
Fig. 1a: Corner placement provides the most bass but sometimes at the expense of accuracy.
Fig. 1b: A sub placed near a wall usually provides a good balance of quantity and accuracy.
Not shown: Under the couch! Ideal for those who want the sub heard but not seen! How will the ‘under the couch’
position affect the sound? That’s where the Paradigm engineering magic comes into play … its dual woofer back-to-
back bipolar design is inherently vibration-cancelling for exceptional resonance and distortion reduction no matter
where it sits—even hidden away under the couch.
Controls on the side panel will help you align your sub’s output to the other speakers in your system.
*The sweet spot is the optimal listening position … the area that puts the listener facing and directly between the left and right front speakers.
