Optimize Shockwafe Wireless Audio Performance 

While Shockwafe Wireless has been fine-tuned to deliver high-fidelity immersive sound, room acoustics and speaker placement play a significant role in achieving the best experience. 

​

Maximizing Surround Speaker Performance:

1. Position each surround speaker symmetrically beside or behind the couch, facing your seating area.

2. Ensure your TV and media devices are configured to output multi-channel surround formats when available (e.g. Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby Digital Plus, LPCM 5.1/7.1).
Visit our device settings page to optimize audio output on your content devices.

3. For stereo tracks, choose All Ch Stereo to upmix audio to the surround speaker channels. 

4. Press SS+ or SB+ to increase the channel volume of your surround speakers.

Maximizing Subwoofer Performance:

Bass Too Overpowering?
