Creating Your Audio 'Sweet Spot' with the SB Speaker Setup

Generally, for a 5.1 speaker configuration, there is an ideal speaker placement that allows you to position yourself in the audio sweet spot, giving you the best surround and audio pleasure possible. Please refer to Positioning Your Speakers or your speaker system documentation for details on the recommended placement.

Often, however, we may be unable to place our speakers ideally due to physical constraints such as room size and object placements etc. Hence, the Sound Blaster Z-Series audio card comes bundled with the Sound Blaster Speaker Setup application. Simply launch this application from the Sound Blaster Z-

Series Control Panel ( icon found in Speakers/Headphones settings), or your Windows start menu and adjust the settings to create a virtual speaker placement.

Speaker Configuration

Here you can configure your current speaker system and also conduct sound tests to check your setup.

Bass Management

Direct bass audio to your subwoofer using the various configuration options found in this tab. You can perform a base test to monitor for frequencies that drop as the tone sweeps from your front speakers to your subwoofer. Adjust as desired.
