Your Beatbox is designed and engineered to sound great anywhere you place it. However, realising that every space is different, there are placements which will maximise the performance of your Beatbox. The home environment can present a challenge in choosing the best location for your Beatbox. The trick is to place the Beatbox in a location which will take advantage of the acoustic properties of your room and give you the best overall balance of sound. Distance to the side walls, back wall and corners can have the biggest impact on the sound of your Beatbox. The closer the Beatbox is to a wall, oor or ceiling the more bass reinforcement you will receive. Maximum bass comes when it is placed in a corner. The shape of Beatbox allows you to place it perfectly into a corner, giving you a great combo of space saving and deep bass. The surface you place your Beatbox on can also signicantly impact the sound. Make sure you place your Beatbox on a solid surface to avoid unwanted distortion to the sound. The height of your Beatbox in relation to your listening position can also affect the sound quality. Ideally, your Beatbox should be as close to ear level as possible and at least four feet away from your listening position for the best performance.17 UK English Troubleshooting The table can help solve most operating problems with your Beatbox.
