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.
