Speaker Placement

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

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.

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

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.
