Placing Your Subwoofer in a Room
Your PSW Series subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. Do not place
near video monitors. (LCD, DLP and Plasma televisions are not affected
by magnetism.) Allow at least 18" (45cm) of space between your subwoofer
and any television, but if you do notice video distortion or discoloration,
immediately move the subwoofer away from the TV.
Your PSW Series subwoofer offers many placement options: in an entertain-
ment center, behind furniture, or next to a sofa or chair. You may place
your subwoofer anywhere in the room, but you’ll enjoy the best performance
when it’s on the same side of the room as your system’s front speakers.
Placing your subwoofer near a wall or in a corner will increase its loudness.
When placing your subwoofer in the room, always place your subwoofer
on its base feet side down. If you can at all avoid it, do not place your
subwoofer next to an open door.
We do recommend placing your subwoofer in different locations
within your room to learn what produces the best sound quality
for your listening environment.
Suggested Speaker Placement
Suggested speaker placement with options for rear speaker placement.
Subwoofer should be placed more than six inches from wall anywhere
in the room.
Note: Additional satellite speakers may be purchased for 6.1, 7.1 or 9.2
surround systems by contacting Polk customer service at 1-800-377-7655.
