Your notebook is equipped with stereo loudspeakers, two microphones and, depending
on the equipment con
fi
guration, one bass loudspeaker.
For information on the exact position of loudspeakers and microphones, see the
"Initial Setup" User Guide for your AMILO notebook.
If you attach an external microphone, the built-in microphone is disabled.
When you connect headphones or external speakers, the built-in speakers are disabled.
Subwoofer system (optional)
The bass loudspeaker and the two loudspeakers form a so-called subwoofer system for true
listening pleasure. The internal loudspeakers are used to generate the middle and high-frequency
tones, while the bass loudspeaker is used to generate the low-frequency tones. As it is impossible to
detect the exact direction of low-frequency sounds, only one bass loudspeaker is required. This
speaker can be positioned anywhere you like (e.g. on the underside of the notebook).
