Placement

Subwoofers produce "non-directional" audio frequencies. Unlike other speakers,

they produce a sound that does not seem to come from any specific point but this

does not mean that you can place your subwoofer anywhere in the room - quite to

the contrary. Frequency response and output are influenced by placement.

As each room is acoustically unique it is recommended that you experiment with

the placement of your James subwoofer to optimize its' performance. Frequency

peaks and/or nulls (boominess or lack of bass response) can usually be corrected

with proper subwoofer placement. Often, finding the best subwoofer location for

a given room is to first temporarily place the subwoofer in the listening position

'sweet spot'. Walk around the room and listen at different locations for the best

'smooth' bass response. Place your subwoofer at or near that location.

When placing your subwoofer in its final position, make sure the speaker faces

forward, standing upright. Do not place the subwoofer near sources of heat

and/or moisture.

Care and Maintenance

Special care should be taken to not scratch or damage your subwoofer. Cloth grills

should be removed prior to cleaning and cleaned separately using a brush and low

lint collector. Avoid direct contact with the speaker drivers to prevent possible

damage. Never use paper products or anything abrasive to clean your speaker's

finish. Use a damp lint free cloth if necessary.

For high gloss finishes we recommend using a mild spray cleaner and soft flannel

cloth. Small surface scratches can often be buffed out with care by hand. Use only

liquid polish suitable for fine automotive finishes. CAUTION: The use of any

polishing product could cause the finish to rub through. Please contact James

Loudspeaker directly if you have any questions regarding the care and

maintenance of your speakers.
