XPS 2.1 BASSBOOST

User Manual – 3/8

1.3. Recommendations

- Place your satellite speakers on a flat surface, to avoid the risk of the speakers falling.

- Place the subwoofer on the floor (under your desk, for example) to allow for better diffusion of bass

frequencies.

- Never open up your speaker kit, as you risk damaging its internal components.

- This speaker kit is intended for use in a temperate environment.

- To prevent the risk of fire or electrical discharge, keep your speaker kit away from:

- rain or humidity, as well as all fluids (water, chemical products or any other liquids),

- sources of heat such as heaters, stoves or any other heat-producing devices (including

amplifiers),

- direct sunlight.

- Do not expose your speaker kit to drips or splashes of water.

- Never place any object filled with liquid (a glass, vase...) on your speaker kit.

- Unplug the power cable if you do not plan on using your speaker kit for an extended period of time.

To disconnect the power cable, take hold of and pull on the plug; never pull on the cable itself.

- Make sure that the speaker kit's power plug connected to an electrical outlet remains easily
accessible.

- Disconnect the speaker kit before cleaning. Use a damp cloth and avoid using aerosol cleaners.

- The speaker kit's power plug serves to power off the device and must therefore be easily accessible

at all times.

- Attention: at full power, prolonged listening with headphones may cause damage to the user's ears
and hearing.

- Markings are located on the back of the speakers.

2. INSTALLING YOUR XPS 2.1 BASSBOOST SPEAKER

KIT

2.1. Positioning the speaker kit

1. Place the satellite speakers on a desk to either side of your monitor, keeping them at least 50 cm

away from the side walls.

2. Place the speakers at an equal distance from the listener and direct them towards the listening

position.

3. Place the subwoofer on the floor, taking care not to block its bass port (opening) up against a wall.

Note: To determine the ideal positioning for your speaker kit, proceed with successive tests until you are
satisfied with the sound.
