Speaker Placement

5.Connect the Volume Control to the subwoofer and then to the sound card line outputs.

6.Connect the power supply adapter.

7.Listen to the system and adjust the Subwoofer Level control for the most pleasing bass output.

8.You may wish to experiment with satellite placement briefly before concealing the connecting wires and making the installa- tion more permanent.

The front left and front right satellites should be placed to the sides of the monitor. When placing satellites on the desktop, install the desktop stands. If you wish to save desktop space, use the hook and loop fasteners to attach the satellites to the sides of the computer monitor (see page 11).

If your are lucky enough to have side walls close to your listening position, excellent placement for the left rear and right rear satellites is alongside or behind your listening position, slightly above ear level (use the hook and loop fasteners, see diagram A). Do not be concerned if this is not practical, since any rear satellite placement to

the left and right side of the listening position will provide strong directional and surround effects.

The rear satellites may be installed on their convenient floor stands (see diagram B). When listening, the stands should be positioned to the immediate left and right of your listening position. The stands are small enough to be stowed underneath or alongside a desk when not in use.

The rear satellites may also be placed in any convenient sites alongside the listener, including sites slightly forward of the listening location. The rear satellites do not have to be at exactly the same height, nor at the same height as the

front satellites. Try the extreme corners of a desk using the desktop stands (C) or attach the rear satellites under a desktop or at the sides of a desk using the hook and loop fasteners (D).

The subwoofer does not contribute to directional sound effects. Its optimum position is on the floor against the wall. The closer the subwoofer is to the corner, the stronger the maximum bass output. Alternately, it can be placed on a shelf or other sites, but its maximum output will be reduced.
