Make sure that the speaker wire
is attached to the satellites
before you attach the stands to
the satellites.
Attaching The Stands
Speaker Placement
The ear cannot localize low
bass, which is why the
subwoofer can go on the floor,
out of sight. The bass port (the
hole on the side of the control
panel) must be at least 2 inches
from the nearest surface.
If you can’t place the woofer on
the floor against a wall as
shown, the bass level control will
compensate. Try turning it up if
you place the subwoofer up on a
shelf, where it is away from the
acoustic support that the floor
and wall give low bass.
On the other hand, if the
subwoofer sits in a corner on the
floor, it may sound bass-heavy.
In this case, try turning the bass
level control down.
Set the bass level control for
best bass balance, then forget it.
It is not intended to be adjusted
regularly to compensate for
differences in recordings.
For any desktop applications, the
satellites should be attached to
their stands. Install each stand
by inserting it into the slot in the
back of each satellite cube (see
diagram E).

Place the satellites, which are
magnetically shielded, on the
small stands to either side of the
monitor, aimed straight ahead.
Do not angle them inward to fire
directly at you. The satellites may
also be attached to the sides of
the monitor with the hook and
loop strips provided (see diagram
G). Have a clear line of sight from
your listening position to the
satellites.
Place the subwoofer on the
floor under your desk or
workstation, back against the
wall. Do not place it up on the
work surface or a shelf, which
could result in disappointing
bass performance. The subwoofer
is not magnetically shielded and
must be at least 18 inches from
the monitor to prevent distortion
of the picture.
