Mixing is usually done by playing a wide variety of music and speech and adjusting the control until a natural sound is obtained. Placement of Speakers All stereo information is heard from the satellite speakers. The subwoofer contains no stereo information and the sound is non-directional. As a result, the subwoofer does not necessarily have to be placed in any particular relationship to the satellites. Placing the subwoofer on the floor close to a wall or corner of a room, provides maximum bass efficiency.
