SETUP

Room placement is ﬂexible; however, for best bass performance place

your Core Sub close to a wall or in a corner, leaving 3˝ to 4˝ (5 cm – 8

cm) of space between the Subwoofer and the wall (as shown below).

Bass is a personal preference, so we encourage you to experiment to

ﬁnd the placement that best suits your listening tastes.

CREATING AN ALTERNATIVE MULTI-ROOM NETWORK (GROUPS)

:PVDBODSFBUFVQUPGPVSNVMUJSPPNOFUXPSLTJOPSEFSUPDSFBUF

separate groups within one household or between households (e.g.,

separate Subwoofer pairings within the same house.

Example of a Multi-Room Network

If you have a TV in the family room and another one in the living room,

or a bedroom, or basement, you simply select different channels for

each pairing so that all groups (speaker and subwoofer) operate

independently and without interfering with each other.

You can have up to 4 separate Core speaker and subwoofer pairings

throughout your home, with each Core speaker playing with its own

Core Sub.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to touch or damage the pins!

On the Core Sub, this wireless module ﬁts snug so that it does not

audibly vibrate. If you have trouble removing the module with your

ﬁngers, we recommend using a small tip tool to gently pry it loose.

We have found 120 Hz to be the most

reliable crossover point. However, room

play a role, so we encourage you to
