SPEAKERS
Arrange the speakers to suit your listening tastes — from directly next to the monitor to as far apart as the speaker cords allow.
NOTE: The speakers are magnetically shielded and can be placed close to video displays such as TVs and computer monitors without distorting the image.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
