Before attaching the cables, position two satellite speakers on either side of your computer monitor or television about the same distance from each other as from you. Angle them to face you.

Place the rear speakers behind you and about the same distance apart as the front speakers. You may want to mount these speakers on the wall. If so, simply loosen the screws on the stands and rotate the stands 180°. Mount the speakers using appropriate wall anchors through the holes in the stands.

For a pro-audio look, remove the cloth grilles by pulling them straight off. Removing the grilles will not affect sound quality.

Center channel

Depending on your configuration, place your

center channel speaker on your desk (angled up), on top of your monitor or television (angled down), or wall-mounted (angled down). To angle the speaker down for placement on top of your monitor or television, remove the screw, rotate the stand 180 degrees, and reinsert the screw. To wall mount the speaker, remove the screw and mount the stand through the other hole on the bottom of the speaker.

Subwoofer

Because bass frequencies are non-directional, the subwoofer can be placed anywhere in relation to the other speakers. To ensure optimum sound quality do not block the driver or the bass port. To achieve the strongest bass, place the subwoofer near a wall, corner or under a desk.

Note: Please ensure adequate ventilation around the subwoofer. Keep the cooling fins on the back of the subwoofer at least 3 inches away from any object. For your safety, the ProActive 5.1 system is protected by a thermal overload switch, which will cause the system to shut down if it becomes too hot. In rare circumstances where the ambient room temperature is high, the unit can shut down. If this occurs, turn off the system and allow it to cool. Increase the ventilation around the system before turning the power back on.
