The level of bass response output from the subwoofer may vary when placed at different positions in the
room. By placing the subwoofer at a corner of two walls, it will result the most bass output, while placing it
near only one wall will decrease its performance. Since bass sound is omnidirectional, the subwoofer can be
placed in a out of sight corner.
