Subwoofer Placement and Set Up A properly set up subwoofer system extends the bass response of the main monitors (either stereo or 5.1 surround) without exaggerating bass response in the room. Impr oper set up may cause an exaggeration of bass response in the room, which in turn may cause the engineer to mix in less bass energy than desired.
Setting Subwoofer Levels Once the subwoofer is in position, its level needs to be matched with the near -field monitors. For stereo systems, the process is str aightforward.

Beyond Stereo to 5.1 Surround When using a subwoofer for the LFE (Low Frequency Eff ects) channel in a 5.1 surround monitoring system, rotate the low pass filter all the way to the right to the 130Hz position. Note that the LFE ch annel is set wit h an additional 10 dB of monitorin g gain.
Bass Management Theory Bass management is a method for extending the bass response of small, near-field speak ers used in 5.1 s urround s ound syste ms (fam iliarly ca lled home-t heatre sy stems). Th is is done by routing frequencies below a cutoff point to a separ ate subwoofer (sometimes called “bass redirection” in home-theater receivers).
