Speaker Placement

6.Connect the Volume Control to the subwoofer.

7.Connect the power supply adapter.

8.Listen to the system and adjust the Bass Level control for pleasing bass output.

9.You may wish to experiment with satellite placement briefly before concealing the connecting wires and making the installation more permanent.

The Front Satellites

The front left and right satellites should be placed to the sides of the monitor. Install the desktop stands if placing the satellites on the desktop.

The Rear Satellites

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

placement behind or to the side of the listening position will provide strong directional and surround effects.

The rear satellites may be installed on their convenient floor stands. The stands should be positioned behind your listening position and aimed at the listener. The stands are small enough to be stowed underneath or alongside a desk when not in use

(see diagram B).

If none of these locations are practical, the rear satellites may be placed in convenient sites alongside the listener, including sites slightly forward of the listening location.

The rear satellites do not have to be at the same height, or at the same height as the front sat-ellites. 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 & loop fasteners (D).

The Subwoofer

The subwoofer’s optimum position is on the floor against the wall. The closer the subwoofer is to a corner, the stronger the maximum bass output. Position the subwoofer so that its connection panel is facing a wall, shielded from in- advertent contact.
