Studio Subwoofer

I just ordered an HS10W yamaha sub to go with my HS80M’s. Right now I have the HS80’s on two shelves on a desk, so I’m wondering where the place to put the subwoofer would be.

The floor in the room is carpeted so would the floor right next to the desk be a good spot? I’m thinking that way I wouldn’t need an isolation riser or something, otherwise I could put it on the bottom/floor platform of the desk with an isolation riser, but I’m afraid it may still cause some vibrations etc there.

Thanks for any tips :slight_smile:

Also, to connect from the sub to the speakers should I go with XLR to TSR (balanced) cables or XLR to XLR

Installing a sub can be quite challenging and the only way to really know whether it is well set up is to do a room response measurement.

You might wish to try Room EQ Wizard.

Avoid placing it near things that may sympathetically vibrate/

Have fun !
