SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Choosing a Location for the Satellite

Location and position are vital for the best sound performance of your
satellite speakers.  For the best stereo image, the distance between the
speakers should be about the same as the distance from the main listening
area to a point halfway between the speakers.

If you place the speakers too far apart, you might hear a "hole" in the
center of the sound.  Compensate for this by angling the speakers slightly
in toward the listening area.

If you place the speakers too close together, you will cancel out the
stereo image.  Compensate for this by angling the speakers slightly away
from the listening area.

Tables or shelves near a corner are ideal locations -- for example, a
decorator shelf attached to a wooden wall (or other acoustically hard
surface).  If possible, place the front edge of the speakers flush with the
front edge of the shelf.  Avoid floor locations, since floor coverings can
absorb many of the higher frequency sounds.

NOTE:  We recommend you play a wide-range recording and experiment with
       the speaker placement until you find the best speaker locations that
       provide the best sound for your needs.

Choosing a Location for the Subwoofer

Because low frequencies are much less directional than other sounds, you
can use the single subwoofer and place it almost anywhere in your listening
area.  However, to simplify connections, you can place the subwoofer
between the left and right satellite speakers.
