When it may not be suitable

How to use

To set up the Audioengine S6, connect the subwoofer to your audio source or receiver using the appropriate RCA or LFE cables. Once connected, place the unit on a stable surface, preferably on the floor near your main speakers to ensure optimal phase alignment. Adjust the crossover frequency and volume levels on the back panel to match the output of your main speakers, ensuring a smooth transition between the low and mid-range frequencies.

What to consider before purchase
