Opsætning

1. Placering

Optimal subwoofer placement is crucial for achieving the best bass performance in your listening environment. Consider the following:

  • Hjørneplacering: Often provides the most output and can reduce standing waves, but may result in boomy bass if not properly calibrated.
  • Front of Room Placement: Placing the subwoofer near the front speakers can create a more seamless soundstage.
  • Placering på midtervæggen: Kan tilbyde en god balance mellem output og præcision.
  • Subwoofer Crawl: A common technique involves placing the subwoofer in your primary listening position and crawling around the room to find where the bass sounds best. This location is often ideal for the subwoofer itself.

2. Forbindelser

The PB17-Ultra offers various connection options. For most home theater setups, a single LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) connection from your AV receiver is recommended.

  • LFE-input: Connect a single RCA cable from the LFE/Subwoofer output of your AV receiver to the LFE input on the PB17-Ultra. This is the most common and recommended connection for home theater systems.
  • Stereo RCA Inputs: For 2-channel stereo systems without an LFE output, connect RCA cables from the stereo pre-outs of your pre-amplifier or receiver to the Left and Right RCA inputs on the subwoofer.
  • XLR-indgange: For professional or high-end setups, balanced XLR inputs are available for a robust, low-noise connection.
