Paradigm PDR-10-V3 user manual

A Paradigm subwoofer can be placed in various locations within a room, depending on the size and layout of the space, as well as personal listening preferences. Here are a few general guidelines for placing a Paradigm subwoofer:
1. Ideally, the subwoofer should be positioned along the front wall of the room, closer to the main speakers to create a cohesive soundstage.
2. Placing the subwoofer in a corner can often enhance its bass response, as the walls provide boundary reinforcement and maximize low-frequency output. However, this positioning may result in boomy or overpowering bass, so some experimentation with placement may be necessary.
3. If possible, avoid placing the subwoofer directly against a wall, as this can create excessive bass resonance. Instead, try to position it a few inches away from the wall to allow for better air circulation and smoother bass performance.
4. To achieve better bass distribution throughout the room, consider using multiple subwoofers placed strategically around the space. This can help minimize room resonances and deliver more even bass response.
5. Experimentation with subwoofer placement is crucial to finding the best possible spot for your specific room. Some trial and error might be required to achieve the desired bass performance and integration with the main speakers.
Remember that the size and shape of the listening room, as well as room furnishings and acoustics, can greatly influence the optimal subwoofer placement. It is advisable to consult the user manual or reach out to Paradigm's customer support for more specific recommendations tailored to your particular subwoofer model.
