The SoundWare speakers pivot on their mounts. Vertically they can go from
facing straight out to being tilted down 40 degrees. When the flat wall
mounting bracket is used they can pivot side to side 20 degrees. (Note:
Corner mounting will not allow the speaker to pivot side-to-side.) Loosen the
pivot set screw on the front of the pivoting ball mount, pivot the speaker into
position and retighten the screw.
The SoundWare speakers can also be mounted using
the supplied corner bracket.
Subwoofer Placement
Place the subwoofer next to a wall or in a corner near your main speakers. The sound is typically best when the subwoofer
is within 15 feet (4.5m) of the main speakers. The sharp 24dB/octave crossover roll-off permits placement farther from the
main speakers if necessary. Since the ear is unable to localize the low frequencies of the subwoofer, the bass still appears
to come from the main speakers. Experimentation is key, however most positions in the room will work well.
The level of bass output from the subwoofer will vary at different positions in a room. When placed near walls, its loudness
is emphasized. Corner placement provides the most bass output. Placement completely away from walls may produce
too little bass. Regardless of the natural bass level within the room you will always have the ability to adjust the level of the
subwoofer from the built in volume control. If at any time you move the subwoofer be sure to check all of your settings.
IMPORTANT: Do not place the subwoofer where there is a chance of contact between the rear panel and drapes or furniture
