Placing the Micro Subwoofer in the corner of a room can increase the overall bass output, making the subwoofer sound louder. If this is not possible, ensure the subwoofer is not too far away from your optimal listening zone to maximize your listening experience. There is no right or wrong, move the subwoofer to a position that sounds right to your personal taste, keeping in mind the cable distance from the plug socket.
Use the lithe Audio App to tweak your listening experience further to change the Low pass Filter, Phase, cross over and gain. With preset profiles according to your music taste.
