Subwoofer Placement - Paradigm DEFIANCE Série Manuel Du Propriétaire

SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT

Bass is less and less directional as it goes down in frequency. For
best sonic integration, locating your subwoofer between your front
speakers or beside one of them and close to the back wall will usually
provide the best bass performance. If this location is not possible your
subwoofer may be placed anywhere in the room without affecting
the stereo image of your front speakers or the soundstage of your
multichannel speaker system.
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 subwoofer inside the "shaded" areas will typically result in
bass performance as follows:

expense of accuracy.
