Q. Should subwoofers be placed behind a desk or console?
An image in Genelec’s GLM manual suggests placing a subwoofer in a position to send the direct sound waves right through the underside of the mixing desk. Is it perhaps not an obstruction issue because the sub‑80Hz frequencies aren’t so directional?
