D - Positioning
contrary to loudspeakers, which have to be placed at a sufficient distance away from the walls and corners
of the listening room, we recommend positioning cub evo subwoofer in a corner.
By placing cub evo in a corner, the room resonances will be excited in a more linear and predictable
way. not only will bass perception be optimal, but this disposition will also make it possible to boost the
bass level by 6dB. if for practical reasons you aren't able to place the subwoofer in a corner, experiment
positioning the subwoofer in different places within the room until you find the best compromise.
generally speaking, it is better to place the subwoofer in front of the listening position (fig. c).
it isn't recommended to place it at the back of the room.
As the frequency ranges involved are omnidirectional, in principle the bass is not affected by objects or
furniture placed between the subwoofer and the listening point (fig. d et e).
E - break-in period
the woofer used in cub evo is a complex mechanical component which requires a break-in period in order
to operate at its best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and humidity of your environment.
the length of time this takes can vary depending on the conditions and may extend over several weeks.
to reduce this break-in period, we recommend operating your subwoofer for about 20 consecutive hours
at medium volume, with music which is rich in bass. once the loudspeakers' characteristics have totally
stabilised, you will be able to enjoy the full potential of your active subwoofer.
