Enhancing the bass through speaker positioning (indoors)
The X4 has a rear firing port to extend the low frequency bass response. If
maximum bass is your thing, try these tips and tricks for speaker placement
indoors.When the X4 speaker is placed on the floor (assuming no walls close
by), the floor re-enforces the bass (+6dB). When the X4 speaker is sitting on
the floor near a wall, the floor and wall re-enforces the bass (+12dB).
Putting the X4 in a corner gives maximum bass reinforcement (+18dB).
Party mode with two speakers
Pair multiple X4 speakers together and place them in corners of the room.
