Positioning Your Speakers

If you are using six speakers, place them to form a circle around you (as in Figure 1-10) and angled toward you. Make sure that the computer monitor is not blocking the path of your front speakers. You may want to adjust the relative positions of the speakers until you get the audio experience you like best. If you have a subwoofer, place the unit in a corner of the room for the best bass experience.
