Sub Level

This can be altered to obtain preferred level of bass.

As with all loudspeakers, the placement in relationship to room boundaries (walls etc.) will have a major effect on their overall performance. As the Aego Satellites are so small your choice of positions is far greater and you should use this to maximize the performance of these remarkable little speakers.

If a speaker is positioned in free air (not close to any walls etc.) then it will sound brighter. If mounted on or close to a large object (such as a table or on a wall) then the mid range will become louder and the speaker will sound warmer and more powerful.

In most situations we would recommend that the satellites are mounted on walls at about head height with the brackets provided to give you a warm powerful sound that you will find pleasing and comfortable. However if this is not possible then Aego Speaker Stands are available from your dealer.
