The positioning of the subwoofer can greatly impact its performance. Here are some guidelines for positioning the JBL CONTROL 50S/T-WH subwoofer:
1. Subwoofer Placement for Tonal Balance: For systems with two satellite speakers, it is recommended to install the subwoofer at the center of a wall rather than at a 2-boundary area like a wall-floor junction. This will help achieve proper balance of sound. For systems with four satellite speakers, placing the subwoofer in the center of a wall will provide good basic bass levels. Placing the subwoofer at a two-boundary junction, such as a wall-floor or wall-wall junction, will provide stronger bass. A corner location will provide the strongest bass impact.
2. Port Clearance: Ensure that you do not block the port of the subwoofer by mounting it too close to a side wall. Leave a minimum of 50 cm (2 feet) of clearance between the port and an adjacent wall surface.
3. Using Control 50S/T Subwoofer: The Control 50S/T subwoofer should not be driven with frequencies below 140 Hz. The subwoofer provides the proper high-pass filter. If you are using the Control 50S/T subwoofer by itself (not driven from the Control 50S/T's satellite output), the signal must be high-passed either through a passive high-pass built into another subwoofer or through an electronic high-pass, electronic crossover, or DSP (140 Hz, 24 dB/oct recommended). Failing to high-pass the Control 50S/T can result in damage to the speaker.
It is important to note that these guidelines are based on the information provided in the JBL CONTROL 50ST WH Surface Mount Subwoofer user manual. For more detailed instructions and specifications, please refer to the user manual provided.
