What does "downward facing" subwoofer mean? Do I have to place this up off the floor for it to project the sound properly??

No. The speaker is on the bottom of the enclosure, however don't worry that it will not project the sound. Just stick this subwoofer in a corner of a room and it will fill the room with bass. I am very satified with mine!

No, this sits off the floor on 4 short 1" feet. I can not tell you how pleased we are with this adjustable base subwoofer. Replaced a Definitive "front" facing subwoofer-what a difference.

No you dont. We bought this one because we didnt want to see the actual subwoofer and for it to function as a side table. Unlike a speaker the sub woofer doesnt have to face into the room.

The speaker it's on the bottom facing down. It is set off the floor by it's own little rubber legs. I imagine they are engineered for optimal performance. You only have to plug it in and enjoy. The folks at the 800# with the instructions are very helpful if you have questions or want to double check yourself. I LOVE mine.

Yes, the sub-woofer is down firing. The sound bar will fill a room but there is a sweet spot when sitting in front of it.

No, it is designed to sit flat, mine was used as a stand under my tv. The subwoofer is built in on the bottom of this unit.

Wall mounting should be used to project sound out, not down. If you want to project sound down, you should mount the speakers in the ceiling. With that said, if you would like to still mount speakers in the wall and project sound down, these will probably be one of your best bets. The main speaks is built on an angle so you can position the main speaker to project somewhat downward and the tweeter is on a swivel so you can face it even more downward. I mounted these speaker in my cathedral ceiling because of their versatility. But again, wall mount is designed to project sound out, not down. I hope this helps.

It's a wireless subwoofer. Place it anywhere in the room to improve the sounds quality.....more specifically the low bass sounds.

The port is on the bottom, and the pre-out SUB is where you would want to connect it. The feet on the sub hold it up plenty high for the bottom port to be functional.. In a small room, this is all the sub you need. our room is 16 x 18 with 2 open doors, still plenty of bass. it isnt the most refined sub, but properly adjusted it is not boomy either.

If this question is for real, I would suggest you put it on the floor. It is called a subwoofer.

Mine is right in front center of TV. That was what I was looking for barely 4" high it fits below the screen without getting in the way like bulkier taller center channel speakers. I have a subwoofer as it part of my 7.1 speaker system with 2 Cerwin Vega bookshelf a up front and 4 Boston acoustic cubes as surrounds. Relatively inexpensive but great sounding system with my Sony 7.1 receiver.

My Tv is not wall mounted. I have the sub woofer in a cabinet below the TV. The cabinet has a closed door. I have tried the sub woofer with the door open and closed and cannot tell the difference.

The low frequencies of a subwoofer make it omni-directional, which means it can be placed anywhere in the room. However, note that if you put it in a corner, the reflection of the sound waves from two walls *may* cause sonic issues. Thanks.

you place your speakers on top and they help keep the vibrations from distorting the sound. they actually point the speaker either straight forward or down, depending on how you have the foam insert. technically, if you placed them on it backwards they would face more up, but they may not be as sturdy.
766688
Yes. They point at about a 30 degree angle in one direction so when you install it, you need to position it where you want the sound to go.

In general, a subwoofer does not need to be immediately near the source speakers. I have mine about 10' from the soundbar, which of course is under the TV, and it seems to work very well.

The subwoofer is actually an indirect affect. I actually have a space behind my entertainment center cabinet which is located in the corner of the room . The cabinet is about 2 feet high. I prefer the subwoofer sound comming from the front. Although it could be placed to the side of the front and in some cases in more to the back. Again , it is an indirect sound that bounces all over. My preference is near the front. If it is directly out in front , I find the base sound being much too direct. So off to the side, behind a small piece of furniture. You can be very flexible in it's placement. I hope this helps. Thanks for the question. The subwoofer is actually an indirect affect.

You mean multi channel connection or multi stereo sound stage? Because, if it's multichannel connection, you should have the sobwoofer connected from the source and then it should be working. If your talking about multi stereo, then the speaker pattern must have a .1 in order to get the LFE directed to the subwoofer.

The subwoofer goes on the floor, preferably on an isolator. The tweeter and midrange are on a stand/stalk about 6" high. These are near field speakers, totally exceptional ones, but only for near field. High frequencies are quite directional. One beauty of the Focal design is that they sit on the desktop and the tweeters are aimed at one's ears. If they are well below your ears, they cannot help but be aimed behind you, so you will miss the high frequencies. Missing the high frequencies means you could probably get by with much cheaper speakers of lower quality. As alternative, you could sit them on a sconce like horizontal shelf mounted on the wall.
